A modest project based on products, where users may create products and only the creators of those products can modify and eliminate them, as well as passport-local-strategy to store data into sessions using express-session.
npm install- NestJS
- GraphQL
- Express-Session
- Passport
- Passport local strategy
- TypeORM
- One-to-many and Many-to-one relation
- Many-to-many relation
- Backend validation
- passport
- passport-local
- express-session
- @nestjs/passport
- @types/passport-local
- @types/express-session
- Create AuthGuard which take context from GraphQL and assign our Email and Password to req.body, because passport automatically gets your credentials from req.body but incase of graphql execution context is different so you have to manually set your args in req.body and for that getRequest method is used.
# example
@Injectable()
export class GQLAuthGuard extends AuthGuard('local') {
constructor() {
super();
}
getRequest(context: ExecutionContext) {
const ctx = GqlExecutionContext.create(context);
const {
UserLoginData: { Email, Password },
} = ctx.getArgs();
const req = ctx.getContext().req;
req.body.Email = Email;
req.body.Password = Password;
return req;
}
}- Export the class which extends the
PassportStrategywith Strategy argument(inherited from passport-local module) and call super() method.you can even specify the usernameField and passwordField inside the super method.
#example
@Injectable()
export class PassportLocalStrategy extends PassportStrategy(Strategy) {
constructor(private readonly userService: UserService) {
super({
usernameField: 'Email',
passwordField: 'Password',
});
}
validate(Email: string, Password: string) {
try {
return this.userService.userLogin({ Email, Password });
} catch (error) {
throw new InternalServerErrorException(error.message);
}
}
}-
After that call the validate method inside the class.
-
After that we need to call serializeUser and deserializeUser method to store the user data into the session.
#example
@Injectable()
export class SessionSerializer extends PassportSerializer {
serializeUser(user: any, done: Function) {
return done(null, user);
}
deserializeUser(payload: any, done: Function) {
return done(null, payload);
}
}
- To call serializeUser method we need to create new AuthGuard which will take request and pass it to the passport logIn method.
#example
@Injectable()
export class SessionLocalAuthGuard extends AuthGuard('local') {
async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
const ctxRequest = GqlExecutionContext.create(context).getContext().req;
await super.logIn(ctxRequest);
return ctxRequest ? true : false;
}
}
- After that we need to call both guards in the login query/mutation by adding @UseGuards() decorator.
# example
@Query(() => LoginResponse)
@UseGuards(GQLAuthGuard, SessionLocalAuthGuard)
login(
@Args('LoginInput') loginInput: LoginInput,
@User() user: UserEntity,
): LoginResponse {
return {
LoginSuccessMessage: constant.LOGIN_SUCCESSFUL,
CurrentUser: user,
};
}- On successful login we can retrieve the current user by req.user we can even create custom decorator for that too, for that please visit here.
# example
export const User = createParamDecorator(
(data: string, ctx: ExecutionContext) => {
const user = GqlExecutionContext.create(ctx).getContext().req.user;
return data ? user[data] : user;
},
);
- We can even implement new Guard to authenticate the user, for that we can do something like this.
@Injectable()
export class IsAuthenticated implements CanActivate {
async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<any> {
const ctxReq = GqlExecutionContext.create(context).getContext().req;
const AuthenticationStatus = ctxReq.isAuthenticated();
if (!AuthenticationStatus) {
throw new UnauthorizedException(constant.UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS_MESSAGE);
}
return AuthenticationStatus;
}
}- And then we can call that guard on every query/mutation something like this
@UseGuards(IsAuthenticated)
@Query(() => AllUserResponseDTO)
async getAllUserData(@User() user: UserEntity): Promise<AllUserResponseDTO> {
const userData: UserEntity[] | [] = await this.userService.getAllUserData(
user.ID,
);
return { AllUserData: userData, CurrentUser: user };
}- We can also create logout guard when user logout in the system (user login first to use this functionality)
export class Logout implements CanActivate {
async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
const ctx = GqlExecutionContext.create(context);
const req = ctx.getContext().req;
if (!req.user) {
throw new UnauthorizedException(constant.UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS_MESSAGE);
}
await req.logout();
return true;
}
}And then we can add that guard to our logout graphql query
@UseGuards(Logout)
@Query(() => LogOutUserDTO, { description: 'logout to the system' })
logoutUser(): LogOutUserDTO {
return { Message: constant.LOGOUT_SUCCESSFUL };
}- Then we can use class-validator & class-transformer as a backend validation
#example (where all the decorator are imported from class-validator)
@InputType()
export class RegisterUserDTO {
@Field({ nullable: false, description: 'user input value for Name' })
@IsAlpha()
@Length(3, 45, { message: constant.INVALID_NAME_RANGE_MESSAGE })
Name: string;
@Field({ nullable: false, description: 'user input value for Email' })
@IsEmail({ message: constant.INVALID_EMAIL_FORMAT })
Email: string;
@Field({ nullable: false, description: 'user input value for Password' })
@IsString()
@Matches(
/^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[a-zA-Z!#$%&? "])[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&?]{8,16}$/,
{
message: constant.WEAK_PASSWORD_MESSAGE,
},
)
Password: string;
}
