Authup

Appearance

JavasScript ​

Authup provides several JavaScript SDKs for integrating Authup into various types of web applications. These SDKs are also partially used by the frontend and backend application.

1. Kit ​

The Kit library provides a set of basic utilities to help you interact with Authup, including:

  • Policy Engine: Implement and manage policies to govern access and authorization.
  • Permission Checker: Easily check user permissions within your app.
  • Workflows: Interfaces for common workflows like OAuth2 authentication and authorization.

2. Core-Kit ​

The Core-Kit library provides fundamental interfaces and utilities. It includes:

  • Domain Entities: Interfaces for core entities such as User, Role, Permission, and more.

3. Core-HTTP-Kit ​

The Core-HTTP-Kit offers a robust client for interacting with the Authup HTTP API. It provides sub-clients for specific domain entities and workflows, enabling you to:

  • Perform CRUD operations on users, roles, permissions, etc.
  • Execute OAuth2 workflows (e.g., token management).

4. Client-Vue ​

The Client-Vue library provides integration components for Vue.js applications. It offers:

  • General Components: Components for working with various resources (e.g., User, Role, etc.).
  • Resource Form Components: Opinionated form components for managing each resource.
  • Resource Collection- & Record-Components: Flexible components to render a set or a single resource entities (via slots).

5. Client-Nuxt ​

For Nuxt.js applications, the Client-Nuxt library builds upon the Client-Vue library by providing:

  • A Nuxt plugin that registers the Client-Vue library.
  • A middleware that verifies the browser-stored token (if set) and checks whether the user has permission for the target route.

6. Server-HTTP-Adapter ​

The Server-HTTP-Adapter provides middleware for JavaScript HTTP servers (e.g., Express.js). This middleware validates incoming requests by checking for a Bearer Token in the request headers. The token is validated either by directly querying the Authup API or using a locally cached public key (previously fetched from the API).

7. Server-Socket-IO-Adapter ​

The Server-Socket-IO-Adapter is designed for real-time applications using Socket.IO. It provides middleware that validates incoming requests by checking for a Bearer Token in the socket request. The token is validated the same way, like it is the case in the Server-HTTP-Adapter library.
