Webtask CLI: all you need is code

Command line tool for using webtasks to create microservices in seconds.

Setup

$ npm i -g wt-cli
$ wt init

Usage

Create a webtask

Write webtask code to the hello-world.js file:

module.exports = function (cb) {
  cb(null, 'Hello webtasks!');
}
wt create hello-world.js

and call it...

curl https://webtask.it.auth0.com/api/run/{yours}/hello-world

Create a webtask (from a public URL)

wt create https://raw.githubusercontent.com/auth0/wt-cli/master/sample-webtasks/html-response.js \
          --name html-response-url

Create a webtask with a secret

wt create https://raw.githubusercontent.com/auth0/wt-cli/master/sample-webtasks/mongodb.js \
          --name mongo \
          --secret MONGO_URL=mongodb://webtask:supersecret@ds047592.mongolab.com:47592/webtask-examples

This is a real mongodb URL (powered by mongolab), no guarantee that it will work :)

Create a webtask that integrates with express.js

wt create https://raw.githubusercontent.com/auth0/wt-cli/master/sample-webtasks/express.js \
          --name express \
          --dependency express \
          --dependency body-parser

Log streaming

wt logs

Cron a webtask (long running)

wt cron schedule -n mongocron \
                 -s MONGO_URL=mongodb://webtask:supersecret@ds047592.mongolab.com:47592/webtask-examples \
                 "*/10 * * * *" \
                 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/auth0/wt-cli/master/sample-webtasks/mongodb.js

This cron will insert a document in a mongo collection every 10 minutes

Get cron history

wt cron history mongogron

Get all scheduled webtasks

wt cron ls

Auth0 CLI: extend Auth0 with custom code (BETA)

Auth0 hooks enable you to extend the Auth0 platform with custom code. Auth0 CLI allows you to manage Auth0 hooks for your Auth0 account.

Auth0 hooks are webtasks associated with specific extensibility points of the Auth0 platform that are invoked by Auth0 runtime to execute your custom logic.

Setup

Follow the instructions from the Account > Webtasks panel on the Auth0 management dashboard to install and configure wt-cli. The package now includes auth0 binary in addition to wt.

NOTE While Auth0 CLI is in BETA, the wt-cli tool must be installed from a branch of this repository instead of the public npm registry. Use npm i -g auth0/wt-cli#auth0 to install the tool. The rest of the instructions on the Auth0 management portal applies without changes.

Overview

Auth0 CLI allows you to create, list, enable/disable, edit, and remove Auth0 hooks associated with specific extensibility points within the Auth0 platform, as well as receive real-time logging information generated by custom code.

The list of supported extensibility points will be growing over time. Currently, the following extensibility points are supported:

client-credentials-exchange password-exchange pre-user-registration post-user-registration

For each of the extensibility points, there can be several Auth0 hooks created. A hook can be enabled or disabled, but only up to one hook per extensibility point can be enabled at a time. Disabled hooks are useful for staging new functionality.

Synopsis

The script below assumes you are creating an Auth0 hook for the pre-user-registration extensibility point using profile name tj-default. You can use any of the extensibility points listed above and the actual profile name has been provided to you during wt-cli setup.

# Scaffold sample code of an Auth0 hook:
auth0 scaffold -t pre-user-registration > file.js

# Create a new, disabled Auth0 hook:
auth0 create -t pre-user-registration --name my-extension-1 -p tj-default file.js

# Edit code of the Auth0 hook:
auth0 edit my-extension-1

# Enable the newly created extensibility point (all other hooks associated
# with the same extensibility point will be disabled):
auth0 enable my-extension-1 -p tj-default

# List hooks for a specific extensibility point:
auth0 ls -t pre-user-registration -p tj-default

# List all Auth0 hooks on your account:
auth0 ls -p tj-default

# Access streaming, real-time logs of all of your hooks:
auth0 logs -p tj-default

# Disable a hook:
auth0 disable my-extension-1 -p tj-default

# Delete a hook:
auth0 rm my-extension-1 -p tj-default

Closing remarks

Working behind a proxy

wt-cli supports operating behind a proxy as of v6.1.0. The cli relies on the HTTP_PROXY (or http_proxy) environment variable to determine if proxy support needs to be enabled. The HTTP_PROXY environment variable must be set to a uri according to the following table:

Protocol Proxy Agent for http requests Proxy Agent for https requests Example
http http-proxy-agent https-proxy-agent http://proxy-server-over-tcp.com:3128
https http-proxy-agent https-proxy-agent https://proxy-server-over-tls.com:3129
socks(v5) socks-proxy-agent socks-proxy-agent socks://username:password@some-socks-proxy.com:9050 (username & password are optional)
socks5 socks-proxy-agent socks-proxy-agent socks5://username:password@some-socks-proxy.com:9050 (username & password are optional)
socks4 socks-proxy-agent socks-proxy-agent socks4://some-socks-proxy.com:9050
pac pac-proxy-agent pac-proxy-agent pac+http://www.example.com/proxy.pac
