Satellizer is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module for AngularJS with built-in support for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, Yahoo, Twitch, Microsoft OAuth providers, as well as Email and Password sign-in. However, you are not limited to the sign-in options above, in fact you can add any OAuth 1.0 or OAuth 2.0 provider by passing provider-specific information in the app config block.

The easiest way to get Satellizer is by running one of the following commands:
# Bower
bower install satellizer
# NPM
npm install satellizer
Alternatively, you may download the latest release or use the CDN:
<!--[if lte IE 9]>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Base64/0.3.0/base64.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/satellizer/0.13.0/satellizer.min.js"></script>
Note: Sattelizer depends on window.atob()
for decoding JSON Web Tokens. If you need to support IE9 then use Base64 polyfill above.
Step 1. App Module
angular.module('MyApp', ['satellizer'])
.config(function($authProvider) {
$authProvider.facebook({
clientId: 'Facebook App ID'
});
$authProvider.google({
clientId: 'Google Client ID'
});
$authProvider.github({
clientId: 'GitHub Client ID'
});
$authProvider.linkedin({
clientId: 'LinkedIn Client ID'
});
$authProvider.instagram({
clientId: 'Instagram Client ID'
});
$authProvider.yahoo({
clientId: 'Yahoo Client ID / Consumer Key'
});
$authProvider.live({
clientId: 'Microsoft Client ID'
});
$authProvider.twitch({
clientId: 'Twitch Client ID'
});
// No additional setup required for Twitter
$authProvider.oauth2({
name: 'foursquare',
url: '/auth/foursquare',
clientId: 'Foursquare Client ID',
redirectUri: window.location.origin,
authorizationEndpoint: 'https://foursquare.com/oauth2/authenticate',
});
});
Step 2. Controller
angular.module('MyApp')
.controller('LoginCtrl', function($scope, $auth) {
$scope.authenticate = function(provider) {
$auth.authenticate(provider);
};
});
Step 3. Template
<button ng-click="authenticate('facebook')">Sign in with Facebook</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('google')">Sign in with Google</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('github')">Sign in with GitHub</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('linkedin')">Sign in with LinkedIn</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('instagram')">Sign in with Instagram</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('twitter')">Sign in with Twitter</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('foursquare')">Sign in with Foursquare</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('yahoo')">Sign in with Yahoo</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('live')">Sign in with Windows Live</button>
<button ng-click="authenticate('twitch')">Sign in with Twitch</button>

* Requires Base64 polyfill.
Satellizer relies on token-based authentication using JSON Web Tokens instead of cookies.
Client: Enter your email and password into the login form.
Client: On form submit call
$auth.login()
with email and password.Client: Send a
POST
request to/auth/login
.Server: Check if email exists, if not - return
401
.Server: Check if password is correct, if not - return
401
.Server: Create a JSON Web Token and send it back to the client.
Client: Parse the token and save it to Local Storage for subsequent use after page reload.
Client: Open an empty popup window via
$auth.authenticate('provider name')
.Client: Unlike OAuth 2.0, with OAuth 1.0 you cannot go directly to the authorization screen without a valid
request_token
.Client: The OAuth 1.0 flow starts with an empty POST request to /auth/provider.
Server: Obtain and return
request_token
for the authorization popup.Client: Set the URL location of a popup to the
authorizationEndpoint
with a validrequest_token
query parameter, as well as popup options for height and width. This will redirect a user to the authorization screen. After this point, the flow is very similar to OAuth 2.0.Client: Sign in with your username and password if necessary, then authorize the application.
Client: Send a POST request back to the /auth/provider with
oauth_token
andoauth_verifier
query parameters.Server: Do an OAuth-signed
POST
request to the /access_token URL since we now haveoauth_token
andoauth_verifier
parameters.Server: Look up the user by their unique Provider ID. If user already exists, grab the existing user, otherwise create a new user account.
Server: Create a JSON Web Token and send it back to the client.
Client: Parse the token and save it to Local Storage for subsequent use after page reload.
Client: Open a popup window via
$auth.authenticate('provider name')
.Client: Sign in with that provider, if necessary, then authorize the application.
Client: After successful authorization, the popup is redirected back to your app, e.g. http://localhost:3000, with the
code
(authorization code) query string parameter.Client: The
code
parameter is sent back to the parent window that opened the popup.Client: Parent window closes the popup and sends a POST request to /auth/provider with
code
parameter.Server: Authorization code is exchanged for access token.
Server: User information is retrived using the access token from Step 6.
Server: Look up the user by their unique Provider ID. If user already exists, grab the existing user, otherwise create a new user account.
Server: In both cases of Step 8, create a JSON Web Token and send it back to the client.
Client: Parse the token and save it to Local Storage for subsequent use after page reload.
Note: To learn more about JSON Web Tokens visit JWT.io.
Note: Make sure you have turned on Contacts API and Google+ API in the APIs tab.

$auth.getPayload();

Saves a JWT or an access token to Local Storage / Session Storage.
Param | Type | Details |
---|---|---|
token | Object |
An object that takes a JWT (response.data[config.tokenName] ) or an access token (response.access_token ). |
Removes a token from Local Storage / Session Storage. Used internally by $auth.logout()
.
$auth.removeToken();
Sets storage type to Local Storage or Session Storage.
Param | Type | Details |
---|---|---|
type | String |
Accepts 'localStorage' and 'sessionStorage' values. |
$auth.setStorageType('sessionStorage');
If you are unable to send a token to your server in the following format - Authorization: Bearer <token>
, then use
$authProvider.authHeader
and $authProvider.authToken
config options to change the header format. The default values are Authorization
and Bearer
, respectively.
- By default, once user is authenticated, JWT will be sent on every request. If you would like to prevent that, you could use
skipAuthorization
option in your$http
request. For example:
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: '/api/endpoint',
skipAuthorization: true // `Authorization: Bearer <token>` will not be sent on this request.
});
Yes, you can toggle between localStorage
and sessionStorage
via the following Satellizer methods:
$auth.setStorageType('sessionStorage');
$auth.setStorageType('localStorage');
