Add an auth API that can be used on modal dialogs #6

Closed MichaelJCole closed 5 years ago

MichaelJCole commented 5 years ago

Hi, this PR creates a client API for authentication. I wanted something that could work in modal dialogs instead of on page routes.

If you like this PR, I can move forward to integrate it. In the interest of not bundling server code into the client, I'd recommend the feathers server code move down next to /src, like this:

/src/...
/src-pwa/...
/src-electron/...
/src-feathers/...

The API is patterned after the Meteor Accounts API which was one of the best things about Meteor. It included ways to customize welcome/lost password/etc emails and a standard user interface that could be customized and OAuth packages that could be mixed in. I loved having auth done on the first day of a project - and that would be a killer feature for Quasar if it could do that with Firebase and Feathers.

Client Template:

quasarAuthApi/src/boot/feathersAuth.js includes some notes I created in case I ever had to think through it again. store/index/js references an api/stuff service. That nameStyle: 'short' setting kicked my ass for almost 2 days before I figured it out. lib/feathersClient.js is called by store.

Server Template:

I added a server with a stuff service for working with the auth client. I also added a config/default.json and dependencies so it'll start with node src

src/app.js is the Express server

I added two middlewares that might be interesting:

src/middleware/whitelist.js hides behind Cloudflare. It's configured in config/*.json src/middleware/serveWebApp.js serves a Quasar app with appropriate headers for security and caching behind Cloudflare.

To deploy:

1) Build the Quasar app and copy to Feathers /public 2) Git commit Quasar app into Feathers repo 3) Package Feathers App in Docker container 4) Deploy Feathers App behind Cloudflare (or other CDN)

I'll merge this, but can you add some documentation to the readme next?

Hi Dan, yes. I'll be working on this in the upcoming week.
