Auth0 Utility App

A simple Express application to assist with testing, PoCs, and other random things.

Getting Started

$ git clone git@github.com:joshcanhelp/node-util-app.git
$ cd node-util-app
$ npm install
$ cp .example.env .env
$ vim .env

Create a Regular Web Application in Auth0 and use the Client ID and Domain values in the .env file you created above.

# .env

SECRET=Long, random string
ISSUER_BASE_URL=Your Auth0 domain prepended with https://
CLIENT_ID=The Client ID for this application from Auth0

If you are requesting an access token to call an API, also add the following:

# .env

CLIENT_SECRET=The Client Secret for this application from Auth0
WP_API_AUDIENCE=The API identifier from Auth0
WP_API_SCOPES=Permissions requested

If you want to create a post in WordPress, also add the following:

# .env

WP_API_BASE_URL=Direct URL to a WordPress instance

The app should be ready to go!

$ npm start
$ open http://localhost:3000

Click login, use any identity provider, and you should end up back in your local app with a Logout link.

To provide TLS support, install Caddy and adjust the .env file to identify the ports to use for the application (APP_PORT) and the Caddy proxy (HTTPS_PORT):

# .env

APP_PORT=5554
HTTPS_PORT=5555

Next, run the following in a new CLI tab:

$ npm run caddy

Finally, start the application:

$ npm start
$ open https://localhost:5555
