AngularJS Authentication with Auth0

This repo shows how to implement authentication in an AngularJS 1.x application. It goes along with SitePoint's Easy AngularJS Authentication with Auth0 article.

Installation and Running the App

Clone the repo, then:

# Install front-end dependencies
npm install
npm install http-server -g

# Install server dependencies
cd server && npm install

You will need an Auth0 account to run the example. Sign up for a free account and then go to your dashboard to get your credentials.

Enter your domain and client ID for the front end.

// app.js

...

authProvider.init({
  domain: 'YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN',
  clientID: 'YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'
});

...

Then enter your client ID and client secret for the express-jwt middleware in the backend.

// server/server.js

...

var authCheck = jwt({
  secret: new Buffer('YOUR_AUTH0_SECRET', 'base64'),
  audience: 'YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'
});

...

With your credentials in place, you can run the app.

# Run the server
node server.js

# Run the front-end (in a new console tab)
cd ..
http-server

What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to:

Add authentication with multiple authentication sources, either social like Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, amont others, or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
Support for generating signed Json Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
Analytics of how, when and where users are logging in.
Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through JavaScript rules.
