ngEasyAuth

ngEasyAuth is a simple angular library for handling security (fork of authenticateJS)

Installation

To use this library you should have a server application that handles authentication with sessions and it should have a login api that uses a username and password parameters from request body, a logout url and an api to get the current loggedin user with its credentials.

• Install the library

bower install angular-easy-auth

• load the library

<script src="js/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/angular-easy-auth.js"></script>

• add it to your dependencies

angular.module('myapp', ['ngEasyAuth']);

• configure

angular.module('myapp').config(['EasyAuthProvider', function (EasyAuthProvider) {

    EasyAuthProvider
        .set('host', 'api/')
        .set('loginUrl', 'login.json')
    ;

}]);

All params and default values you can see below:

Param	Default value
host	'api/'
loginUrl	'login.json'
logoutUrl	false
logoutMethod	'DELETE'
loggedinUrl	'users/current.json'
unauthorizedPage	'/login'
targetPage	'/'
loginPage	'/login'
router	'ngRoute'

Usage

• In your login page, include the login form like this

<div easy-auth-form></div>

You can override the default login form template like this

<div easy-auth-form template-url="mypartial.html"></div>

• add a security attribute to your routes

  • a false value means that the route is not protected,
  • a true value means, you have to be loggedin to access this route,
  • other custom string can be used to indicate that a user role is required to access this route (the string represent the role that have to be found in user.roles)

• you can call EasyAuth.logout(); to loggout

• you cas use EasyAuth.getLoggedinUser() to get the current loggedin user
