NAME

Yancy::Plugin::Auth::OAuth2 - Authenticate using an OAuth2 provider

VERSION

version 1.026

SYNOPSIS

    use Mojolicious::Lite;
    plugin Yancy => {
        backend => 'sqlite://myapp.db',
    };
    app->yancy->plugin( 'Auth::OAuth2' => {
        client_id => 'CLIENT_ID',
        client_secret => 'SECRET',
        authorize_url => 'https://example.com/auth',
        token_url => 'https://example.com/token',
    } );

DESCRIPTION

This module allows authenticating using a standard OAuth2 provider by implementing the OAuth2 specification.

OAuth2 provides no mechanism for transmitting any information about the user in question, so this auth may require some customization to be useful. Without some kind of information about the user, it is impossible to know if this is a new user or a returning user or to maintain any kind of account information for the user.

METHODS

Returns the access token of the currently-logged-in user.

require_user

    my $subref = $c->yancy->auth->require_user;

Build a callback to validate there is a logged-in user. Since this auth module has no information about the user, there can be no additional authorization of the user.

get_authorize_url

    my $url = $self->get_authorize_url( $c );

Get a full authorization URL with query parameters. Override this in a subclass to customize the authorization parameters.

handle_token_p

    my $p = $self->handle_token_p( $c, $token );

Handle the receipt of the token. Override this in a subclass to make any API requests to identify the user. Returns a Mojo::Promise that will be fulfilled when the information is complete.

CONFIGURATION

This plugin has the following configuration options.

client_id

The client ID, provided by the OAuth2 provider.

client_secret

The client secret, provided by the OAuth2 provider.

authorize_url

The URL to start the OAuth2 authorization process.

token_url

The URL to get an access token. The second step of the auth process.

Sessions

This module uses Mojolicious sessions to store the login information in a secure, signed cookie.

To configure the default expiration of a session, use Mojolicious::Sessions default_expiration.

    use Mojolicious::Lite;
    # Expire a session after 1 day of inactivity
    app->sessions->default_expiration( 24 * 60 * 60 );

TEMPLATES

layouts/yancy/auth.html.ep

The layout that Yancy uses when displaying the login form, the unauthorized error message, and other auth-related pages.
