This app illustrates how to use Passport with Express to sign users in via Auth0. Use this example as a starting point for your own web applications.
To run this app, clone the repository and install dependencies:
$ git clone https://github.com/passport/todos-express-auth0.git
$ cd todos-express-auth0
$ npm installThis app must be configured with an Auth0 domain, as well as a client ID and secret that has been created for the app.
Once credentials have been obtained, create a .env file and add the following
environment variables:
AUTH0_DOMAIN=example.us.auth0.com
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=__INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE__
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=__INSERT_CLIENT_SECRET_HERE__
Start the server.
$ npm startNavigate to http://localhost:3000.
Follow along with the step-by-step Auth0 Tutorial to learn how this app was built.
This app illustrates how to build a todo app with sign in functionality using
Express, Passport, Auth0, and the passport-openidconnect
strategy.
This app is a traditional web application, in which application logic and data persistence resides on the server. HTML pages and forms are rendered by the server and client-side JavaScript is not utilized (or kept to a minimum).
This app is built using the Express web framework. Data is persisted to a SQLite database. HTML pages are rendered using EJS templates, and are styled using vanilla CSS.
When a user first arrives at this app, they are prompted to sign in. To sign in, the user is redirected to our app's sign in page (which is hosted by Auth0) using OpenID Connect. Once authenticated, a login session is established and maintained between the server and the user's browser with a cookie.
After signing in, the user can view, create, and edit todo items. Interaction occurs by clicking links and submitting forms, which trigger HTTP requests. The browser automatically includes the cookie set during login with each of these requests.
