sv-auth-client

Client for communicating with sv-auth. This npm package contains classes and helpers for communicating with the sv-auth graphQL system.

Use cases include:

Registering permissions on the auth system for your product.
Working with tokens from the auth system.
Wrapping the UI of your product behind the auth system.
Converting a token into a user and checking their permissions.

Installation

npm install @simpleview/sv-auth-client

Setup

For integrating your project with auth, please see the Setup Instructions.

Package API

AuthClient

The AuthClient class is for communicating with the authentication system which provides some caching and ease of use for working with User objects.

args
- graphUrl - The URL of graphQL server that you wish to communicate with. Most implementations should likely point to the live graphQL endpoint at https://graphql.simpleviewinc.com/.
- cacheDuration - The duration of how long cache entries should remain in the AuthClient cache. Defaults to 1 hour, generally you should not pass this setting unless unit testing.

AuthClient.getUser

This method wraps the call to auth.users_current in a caching layer to ensure that it's performant and is properly updating if a user's permissions have changed.

Generally you will want to make this call very early in your GraphQL stack in order to make the user available on context for all calls to access.

args
- token - string - The jwt token retrieved from the the auth system.
- acct_id - string - The acct_id that you need to retrieve the user for.

Returns auth_user.

const user = authClient.getUser({
    token,
    acct_id : "0"
});

AuthClient.close

If you are finished with an AuthClient instance, call authClient.close() in order to shut it down. Generally this is only needed in unit tests, otherwise there is an internal setInterval which will keep the process open.

getTokenFromHeaders

Extracts the token from the authorization header.

const { getTokenFromHeaders } = require("@simpleview/sv-auth-client");
const server = new ApolloServer({
    ...
    context: ({ req }) => {
        return {
            token : getTokenFromHeaders(req.headers)
        };
    }
});

AdminPrefix

AdminPrefix can be loaded into the sv-graphql-client GraphServer to use as a client library for accessing admin in GraphQL.

const { AdminPrefix } = require("@simpleview/sv-auth-client");
const { GraphServer } = require("@simpleview/sv-graphql-client");
const graphServer = new GraphServer({ graphUrl : GRAPH_URL, prefixes : [AdminPrefix] });

AuthPrefix

AdminPrefix can be loaded into the sv-graphql-client GraphServer to use as a client library for accessing auth in GraphQL.

const { AuthPrefix } = require("@simpleview/sv-auth-client");
const { GraphServer } = require("@simpleview/sv-graphql-client");
const graphServer = new GraphServer({ graphUrl : GRAPH_URL, prefixes : [AuthPrefix] });

DirectiveCheckPerm

DirectiveCheckPerm can be used to enforce permissions to access a resolver.

In graphql schema.

directive prefix_checkPerm;

query {
    someResolver: some_result @prefix_checkPerm(perms: ["perm.name"])
}

Add DirectiveCheckPerm class to your schemaDirectives object using the key name prefix_checkPerm.

User

User is is returned by AuthClient.getUser but it can also be used without AuthClient when you want to convert the return from auth.current into a user which you wish to check permissions on.

const { User } = require("@simpleview/sv-auth-client");
const result = await graphServer.auth.current({
    acct_id : "0",
    fields : `
        success
        message
        doc {
            permissionJson
        }
    `
});
const user = new User(result.doc);
user.can(["some.perm.name"]);

User.can

perms - array of strings - Returns boolean whether user has all requested permissions.

const allow = user.can(["cms.something.another", "cms.another.permission"]);

User.toPlain

Convert the User object back to a plain JS object.

GraphQL Endpoints

auth_query

accounts
- Returns an array of accounts containing associated users and roles.
- If the user is not an SV employee, they will only receive the accounts they have access to. If they are an SV employee they will receive all accounts.
- See schema browser for filters/options.

```
query {
    auth {
        accounts {
            count
            docs {

        }
    }
}
```

account_public

Returns a single account, able to be filtered by 'name' or 'acct_id'.
Does not require a token, publically accessible.

query {
    auth {
        account_public(filter: { name : 'test' }) {
            success
            message
            doc {

            }
        }
    }
}

current
- Retrieve the current user and their permissions for the specified account.
- Returns a token invalid message if returned user is not valid for that account or the token is invalid.
- This does not refresh the token.
- Bearer token must be provided in Authorization header.
```
query {
    auth {
        current(acct_id : "0") {
            success
            message
            doc {
                firstname
                lastname
            }
        }
    }
}
```
check_token_cache
- Internal method used for validating caches. Should not be used in normal integrations.
- Validates the provided token and checks the cache to verify it is stale and needs to be revalidated.
- Success is true if the user exists and the cache entry is valid.
- This does not refresh the token.
- Bearer token must be provided in Authorization header.
```
query {
    auth {
        check_token_cache(date : "2019-03-15T23:51:17.019Z", acct_id : "0") {
            success
            message
        }
    }
}
```

login

Provided an email and password, logs a user in by returning a token.
Returns an invalid credentials error if login fails.

query {
    auth {
        login(email: "test0@test.com", password : "test"){
            token
            message
        }
    }
}

login_google
- Converts a Google OAuth token into an auth token.
- Returns an invalid credentials error if login fails.
login_service_account
- Login utilizing a GCP service account. The user will be granted SV permissions.
- To obtain the credentials you will need the email and private_key from the service account. The private_key comes from the private_key field from the .json keyfile for the service account.
refresh_token
- Converts a refresh_token received from a login endpoint into a regular token.
- The refresh_token is retrieved from a login attempt and can be stored long term in a secure location to exchange for a normal token at anytime.

            count
            docs {
                name
            }
        }
    }
}

roles

                firstname
                lastname
            }
        }
    }
}

admin_mutation

products_upsert
- Provided an acct_id and product data, updates the associated product or inserts one if it does not exist.
- This endpoint is used to define all possible permissions associated with a product belonging to an account. This is to say that possible permissions can vary from account to account for the same product.
- This call should be made anytime the possible permissions for an account's product have changed.
- This call can only be made by an sv user.
- The permission object has a strict structure that must be followed.
  - Each permission starts with the product name and then drills down through branch permissions until it reaches a leaf permission.
  - If you have a permission called product1.group1.group2.perm1 then product1 must be the exact name of the product. product1.group1, product1.group1.group2 and product1.group1.group2.perm1 must all have their own entries in the array.
  - In the above example the permission product1.group1 and product1.group1.group2 are branch permissions. They must have a label and CANNOT have a permType. These branch permissions are used solely for organization and assisting the user in understanding your permission structure.
  - In the above example the permission product1.group1.group2.perm1 is a leaf permission and must have a permType.
  - The order of the permissions in the array does not matter, but keeping them in a logical order in your code is preferable for your own sanity.
  - The product name must be all lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.
  - The permission name must be all lowercase letters, numbers and dashes separated by periods.
  - For each permission the permType must be write, read, or remove.
  - Description is optional. If specified the leaf or branch permission will received a tooltip in the UI to assist the user in understanding the permission or group.
```
mutation {
    admin(acct_id : "0") {
        products_upsert(input: { name : "my_product", label : "Product", permissions : [
            { name : "prd.perm", label : "Permission Group" },
            { name : "prd.perm.read", label : "Permission - Read", description : "This is a read permission", permType : "read" },
            { name : "prd.perm.write", label : "Permission - Write", description : "This is a write permission", permType : "write" },
