I'm trying to integrate jwt/local auth into any call to feathers. So by including user/pass in any call it authorizes, rather than requiring a individual previous call to the /authorization endpoint and passing a header to subsequent calls. Ive tried using authenticate, but it doesnt see my auth strategies from within a hook. Here is the current create code, it does return the jwt token but how do i auth from here and integrate user data from the database into context like the auth generally would otherwise?
module.exports = (options = {}) => {
return async (context) => {
let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
context.app
.service("authentication")
.create({
username: context.data.username,
password: context.data.password,
strategy:"local"
})
.then((response) => {
console.log(response)
context.arguments[1]['Authorization'] = response.accessToken
resolve(context);
});
});
let result = await promise;
if (result) {
return context;
}
};
};
The authenticate hook can take any strategy and will look for whatever you pass in params.authentication. In your example the following:
module.exports = (options = {}) => {
return async (context) => {
context.params = {
...context.params,
authentication: {
strategy: 'local',
username: context.data.username,
password: context.data.password
}
}
return context;
};
};
Would allow for authenticate('local') to run. If you want to get the authentication information from an HTTP request you can implement the parse(req, res) method in a custom strategy.
