A small AngularJS Service to interact with Devise Authentication.
This service requires Devise to respond to JSON. To do that, simply add
# config/application.rb
module RailsApp
class Application < Rails::Application
# ...
config.to_prepare do
DeviseController.respond_to :html, :json
end
end
end
Additionally, if you have CSRF Forgery
Protection
enabled for your controller actions, you will also need to include the
X-CSRF-TOKEN
header with the token provided by rails. The easiest way
to include this is to follow this post:
AngularDevise is registered as angular-devise
in
bower.
bower install --save angular-devise
You can then use the main file at angular-devise/lib/devise-min.js
.
To get AngularDevise via Rails Assets add to your Gemfile:
source "https://rails-assets.org" do
gem "rails-assets-angular-devise"
end
Then bundle
. Finally, to require the JS:
//= require angular-devise
Just register Devise
as a dependency for your module. Then, the Auth
service will be available for use.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
// Configure Auth service with AuthProvider
}).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
// Use your configured Auth service.
});
Auth.currentUser()
returns a promise that will be resolved into the
currentUser. There are three possible outcomes:
- Auth has authenticated a user, and will resolve with that user.
- Auth has not authenticated a user but the server has a previously
authenticated session, Auth will attempt to retrieve that session
and resolve with its user. Then, a
devise:new-session
event will be broadcast with the current user as the argument. - Neither Auth nor the server has an authenticated session, and a rejected promise will be returned. (see Interceptor for for custom handling.)
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
Auth.currentUser().then(function(user) {
// User was logged in, or Devise returned
// previously authenticated session.
console.log(user); // => {id: 1, ect: '...'}
}, function(error) {
// unauthenticated error
});
});
Auth._currentUser
will be either null
or the currentUser's object
representation. It is not recommended to directly access
Auth._currentUser
, but instead use
Auth.currentUser().
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
console.log(Auth._currentUser); // => null
// Log in user...
console.log(Auth._currentUser); // => {id: 1, ect: '...'}
});
Auth.isAuthenticated()
is a helper method to determine if a
currentUser is logged in with Auth.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
console.log(Auth.isAuthenticated()); // => false
// Log in user...
console.log(Auth.isAuthenticated()); // => true
});
Use Auth.login()
to authenticate with the server. Keep in mind,
credentials are sent in plaintext; use a SSL connection to secure them.
creds
is an object which should contain any credentials needed to
authenticate with the server. Auth.login()
will return a promise that
will resolve to the logged-in user. See
Auth.parse(response) to customize how the response
is parsed into a user.
Upon a successful login, two events will be broadcast, devise:login
and
devise:new-session
, both with the currentUser as the argument. New-Session will only
be broadcast if the user was logged in by Auth.login({...})
. If the server
has a previously authenticated session, only the login event will be broadcast.
Pass any additional config options you need to provide to $http
with
config
.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
var credentials = {
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'password1'
};
var config = {
headers: {
'X-HTTP-Method-Override': 'POST'
}
};
Auth.login(credentials, config).then(function(user) {
console.log(user); // => {id: 1, ect: '...'}
}, function(error) {
// Authentication failed...
});
$scope.$on('devise:login', function(event, currentUser) {
// after a login, a hard refresh, a new tab
});
$scope.$on('devise:new-session', function(event, currentUser) {
// user logged in by Auth.login({...})
});
});
By default, login
will POST to '/users/sign_in.json' using the
resource name user
. The path, HTTP method, and resource name used to
login are configurable using:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
AuthProvider.loginPath('path/on/server.json');
AuthProvider.loginMethod('GET');
AuthProvider.resourceName('customer');
});
Use Auth.logout()
to de-authenticate from the server. Auth.logout()
returns a promise that will be resolved to the old currentUser. Then a
devise:logout
event will be broadcast with the old currentUser as the argument.
Pass any additional config options you need to provide to $http
with
config
.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
var config = {
headers: {
'X-HTTP-Method-Override': 'DELETE'
}
};
// Log in user...
// ...
Auth.logout(config).then(function(oldUser) {
// alert(oldUser.name + "you're signed out now.");
}, function(error) {
// An error occurred logging out.
});
$scope.$on('devise:logout', function(event, oldCurrentUser) {
// ...
});
});
By default, logout
will DELETE to '/users/sign_out.json'. The path and
HTTP method used to logout are configurable using:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
AuthProvider.logoutPath('path/on/server.json');
AuthProvider.logoutMethod('GET');
});
This is the method used to parse the $http
response into the appropriate
user object. By default, it simply returns response.data
. This can be
customized either by specifying a parse function during configuration:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
// Customize user parsing
// NOTE: **MUST** return a truth-y expression
AuthProvider.parse(function(response) {
return response.data.user;
});
});
or by directly overwriting it, perhaps when writing a custom version of the Auth service which depends on another service:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
factory('User', function() {
// Custom user factory
}).
factory('CustomAuth', function(Auth, User) {
Auth['parse'] = function(response) {
return new User(response.data);
};
return Auth;
});
Use Auth.register()
to register and authenticate with the server. Keep
in mind, credentials are sent in plaintext; use a SSL connection to
secure them. creds
is an object that should contain any credentials
needed to register with the server. Auth.register()
will return a
promise that will resolve to the registered user. See
Auth.parse(response) to customize how the response
is parsed into a user. Then a devise:new-registration
event will be
broadcast with the user object as the argument.
Pass any additional config options you need to provide to $http
with
config
.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
var credentials = {
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'password1',
password_confirmation: 'password1'
};
var config = {
headers: {
'X-HTTP-Method-Override': 'POST'
}
};
Auth.register(credentials, config).then(function(registeredUser) {
console.log(registeredUser); // => {id: 1, ect: '...'}
}, function(error) {
// Registration failed...
});
$scope.$on('devise:new-registration', function(event, user) {
// ...
});
});
By default, register
will POST to '/users.json' using the resource
name user
. The path, HTTP method, and resource name used to register
are configurable using:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
AuthProvider.registerPath('path/on/server.json');
AuthProvider.registerMethod('GET');
AuthProvider.resourceName('customer');
});
Use Auth.sendResetPasswordInstructions()
to send reset password mail to user. Keep
in mind, credentials are sent in plaintext; use a SSL connection to
secure them. creds
is an object that should contain the email associated with the user.
Auth.sendResetPasswordInstructions()
will return a promise with no params.
Then a devise:send-reset-password-instructions-successfully
event will be broadcast.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
var parameters = {
email: '[email protected]'
};
Auth.sendResetPasswordInstructions(parameters).then(function() {
// Sended email if user found otherwise email not sended...
});
$scope.$on('devise:send-reset-password-instructions-successfully', function(event) {
// ...
});
});
By default, sendResetPasswordInstructions
will POST to '/users/password.json'. The path and HTTP
method used to send the reset password instructions are configurable using:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
AuthProvider.sendResetPasswordInstructionsPath('path/on/server.json');
AuthProvider.sendResetPasswordInstructionsMethod('POST');
});
Use Auth.resetPassword()
to reset user password. Keep
in mind, credentials are sent in plaintext; use a SSL connection to
secure them. creds
is an object that should contain password, password_confirmation and reset_password_token.
Auth.resetPassword()
will return a
promise that will resolve to the new user data. See
Auth.parse(response) to customize how the response
is parsed into a user. Then a devise:reset-password-successfully
event will be broadcast.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
controller('myCtrl', function(Auth) {
var parameters = {
password: 'new_password',
password_confirmation: 'new_password',
reset_password_token: 'reset_token',
};
Auth.resetPassword(parameters).then(function(new_data) {
console.log(new_data); // => {id: 1, ect: '...'}
}, function(error) {
// Reset password failed...
});
$scope.$on('devise:reset-password-successfully', function(event) {
// ...
});
});
By default, resetPassword
will PUT to '/users/password.json'. The path and HTTP
method used to reset password are configurable using:
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider) {
AuthProvider.resetPasswordPath('path/on/server.json');
AuthProvider.resetPasswordMethod('PUT');
});
AngularDevise comes with a $http
Interceptor
that may be enabled using the interceptAuth
config. Its purpose is to
listen for 401 Unauthorized
responses and give you the ability to
seamlessly recover. When it catches a 401, it will:
- create a deferred
- broadcast a
devise:unauthorized
event passing:- the ajax response
- the deferred
- return the deferred's promise
Since the deferred is passed to the devise:unauthorized
event, you are
free to resolve it (and the request) inside of the event listener. For
instance:
angular.module('myModule', []).
controller('myCtrl', function($scope, Auth, $http) {
// Guest user
// Catch unauthorized requests and recover.
$scope.$on('devise:unauthorized', function(event, xhr, deferred) {
// Disable interceptor on _this_ login request,
// so that it too isn't caught by the interceptor
// on a failed login.
var config = {
interceptAuth: false
};
// Ask user for login credentials
Auth.login(credentials, config).then(function() {
// Successfully logged in.
// Redo the original request.
return $http(xhr.config);
}).then(function(response) {
// Successfully recovered from unauthorized error.
// Resolve the original request's promise.
deferred.resolve(response);
}, function(error) {
// There was an error logging in.
// Reject the original request's promise.
deferred.reject(error);
});
});
// Request requires authorization
// Will cause a `401 Unauthorized` response,
// that will be recovered by our listener above.
$http.delete('/users/1', {
interceptAuth: true
}).then(function(response) {
// Deleted user 1
}, function(error) {
// Something went wrong.
});
});
The Interceptor can be enabled globally or on a per-request basis using the
interceptAuth
setting on the AuthIntercept provider.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthInterceptProvider) {
// Intercept 401 Unauthorized everywhere
AuthInterceptProvider.interceptAuth(true);
}).
controller('myCtrl', function($http) {
// Disable per-request
$http({
url: '/',
interceptAuth: false,
// ...
});
});
By default, AngularDevise uses the following HTTP methods/paths:
Method | HTTP Method | HTTP Path |
---|---|---|
login | POST | /users/sign_in.json |
logout | DELETE | /users/sign_out.json |
register | POST | /users.json |
sendResetPasswordInstructions | POST | /users/password.json |
resetPassword | ย POST | /users/password.json |
All credentials will be under the users
namespace, and the following
parse function will be used to parse the response:
function(response) {
return response.data;
};
All of these can be configured using a .config
block in your module.
angular.module('myModule', ['Devise']).
config(function(AuthProvider, AuthInterceptProvider) {
// Customize login
AuthProvider.loginMethod('GET');
AuthProvider.loginPath('/admins/login.json');
// Customize logout
AuthProvider.logoutMethod('POST');
AuthProvider.logoutPath('/user/logout.json');
// Customize register
AuthProvider.registerMethod('PATCH');
AuthProvider.registerPath('/user/sign_up.json');
// Customize the resource name data use namespaced under
// Pass false to disable the namespace altogether.
AuthProvider.resourceName('customer');
// Also you can change host URL for backend calls
// (for example if it's on another server than your angular app)
AuthProvider.baseUrl('http://localhost:3000');
// Customize user parsing
// NOTE: **MUST** return a truth-y expression
AuthProvider.parse(function(response) {
return response.data.user;
});
// Intercept 401 Unauthorized everywhere
// Enables `devise:unauthorized` interceptor
AuthInterceptProvider.interceptAuth(true);
});
