Satellizer is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module for AngularJS with built-in support for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Bitbucket, Yahoo, Twitch, Microsoft (Windows Live) OAuth providers, as well as Email and Password sign-in. However, you are not limited to the sign-in options above, in fact you can add any OAuth 1.0 or OAuth 2.0 provider by passing provider-specific information in the app config block.

$ bower install satellizer
With any Cordova mobile apps or any framework that uses Cordova, such as Ionic Framework, you will need to add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin:
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
Make sure that inAppBrowser is listed in your project:
$ cordova plugins
cordova-plugin-console 1.0.2 "Console"
cordova-plugin-device 1.1.1 "Device"
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 1.3.0 "InAppBrowser"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 3.2.0 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.1.1 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.2.1 "Whitelist"
ionic-plugin-keyboard 1.0.8 "Keyboard"
Step 1. App Module
angular.module('MyApp', ['satellizer'])
.config(function($authProvider) {
$authProvider.facebook({
clientId: 'Facebook App ID'
});
// Optional: For client-side use (Implicit Grant), set responseType to 'token' (default: 'code')
$authProvider.facebook({
clientId: 'Facebook App ID',
responseType: 'token'
});
$authProvider.google({
clientId: 'Google Client ID'
});
$authProvider.github({
clientId: 'GitHub Client ID'
});
$authProvider.linkedin({
clientId: 'LinkedIn Client ID'
});
$authProvider.instagram({
clientId: 'Instagram Client ID'
});
$authProvider.yahoo({
clientId: 'Yahoo Client ID / Consumer Key'
});
$authProvider.live({
clientId: 'Microsoft Client ID'
});
$authProvider.twitch({
clientId: 'Twitch Client ID'
});
$authProvider.bitbucket({
clientId: 'Bitbucket Client ID'
});
$authProvider.spotify({
clientId: 'Spotify Client ID'
});
// No additional setup required for Twitter
$authProvider.oauth2({
name: 'foursquare',
url: '/auth/foursquare',
clientId: 'Foursquare Client ID',
redirectUri: window.location.origin,
authorizationEndpoint: 'https://foursquare.com/oauth2/authenticate',
});
});
Step 2. Controller
angular.module('MyApp')
.controller('LoginCtrl', function($scope, $auth) {
$scope.authenticate = function(provider) {
$auth.authenticate(provider);
};
});
Step 3. Template

Satellizer relies on token-based authentication using JSON Web Tokens instead of cookies.
Additionally, authorization (obtaining user's information with their permission) and authentication (application sign-in) requires sever-side implementation. See provided examples implemented in multiple languages for your convenience. In other words, you cannot just launch your AngularJS application and expect everything to work. The only exception is when you use OAuth 2.0 Implicit Grant (client-side) authorization by setting responseType: 'token'
in provider's configuration.
$auth.login()
with email and password.POST
request to /auth/login
.401
.401
.$auth.authenticate('provider name')
.request_token
.request_token
for the authorization popup.authorizationEndpoint
with a valid request_token
query parameter, as well as popup options for height and width. This will redirect a user to the authorization screen. After this point, the flow is very similar to OAuth 2.0.oauth_token
and oauth_verifier
query parameters.POST
request to the /access_token URL since we now have oauth_token
and
oauth_verifier
parameters.$auth.authenticate('provider name')
.code
(authorization code)
query string parameter.code
parameter is sent back to the parent window that opened the popup.code
parameter.Note: To learn more about JSON Web Tokens visit JWT.io.
Note: Make sure you have turned on Contacts API and Google+ API in the APIs tab.
Note: Microsoft does not consider
localhost
or127.0.0.1
to be a valid URL. As a workaround for local development add127.0.0.1 mylocalwebsite.net
to /etc/hosts file and specifymylocalwebsite.net
as your Redirect URL in the API Settings tab.

---|---|---|
type | String |
Accepts 'localStorage' and 'sessionStorage' values. |
$auth.setStorageType('sessionStorage');
offline_access
?$authProvider.google({
optionalUrlParams: ['access_type'],
accessType: 'offline'
});
redirectUri
to something other than base URL?By default, redirectUri
is set to window.location.origin
(protocol, hostname, port number of a URL) for all OAuth providers. This redirectUri
must match exactly the URL¹ specified in your OAuth app settings.
Facebook (example)
However, you can set redirectUri
to any URL path you desire. For instance, you may follow the naming convention of Passport.js:
// Note: Must be absolute path.
window.location.origin + '/auth/facebook/facebook/callback'
window.location.origin + '/auth/facebook/google/callback'
...
Using the example above, a popup window will be redirected to http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback?code=YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_CODE
after a successful Facebook authorization. To avoid potential 404 errors, create server routes for each redirectUri
URL that return 200 OK. Or alternatively, you may render a custom template with a loading spinner. For the moment, a popup will not stay long enough to see that custom template, due to 20ms interval polling, but in the future I may add support for overriding this polling interval value.
As far as Satellizer is concerned, it does not matter what is the value of redirectUri
as long as it matches URL in your OAuth app settings. Satellizer's primary concern is to read URL query/hash parameters, then close a popup.
¹ Note: Depending on the OAuth provider, it may be called Site URL, Callback URL, Redirect URL, and so on.
Authorization: Bearer <token>
?If you are unable to send a token to your server in the following format - Authorization: Bearer <token>
, then use
$authProvider.tokenHeader
and $authProvider.tokenType
config options to change the header format. The default values are Authorization
and Bearer
, respectively.
For example, if you need to use Authorization: Basic
header, this is where you change it.
By default, once user is authenticated, JWT will be sent on every request. If you would like to prevent that, you could use skipAuthorization
option in your $http
request. For example:
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: '/api/endpoint',
skipAuthorization: true // `Authorization: Bearer <token>` will not be sent on this request.
});
localStorage
to sessionStorage
?Yes, you can toggle between localStorage
and sessionStorage
via the following Satellizer methods:
$auth.setStorageType('sessionStorage');
$auth.setStorageType('localStorage');
First, check what kind of error you are getting by opening the Web Inspector from Develop > Simulator > index.html menu. If you have configured everything correctly, chances are you running into the following error:
Failed to load resource: The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.
Follow instructions on this StackOverflow post by adding NSAppTransportSecurity
to info.plist. That should fix the problem.
