Installation instructions

For ES6-SystemJs and Typescript-SystemJs

For typescript, replace cd client below with cd client-ts.

git clone https://github.com/doktordirk/aurelia-authentication-loopback-sample
cd aurelia-authentication-loopback-sample
npm install
cd client
npm install
jspm install

To run the sample type in the client folder:

gulp watch

This builds the aurelia-client and serves the client and the api server. Browse to localhost:9000 to see it in action. Sign up or use the provided user email: [email protected] / password: `none

For ES6-Webpack

git clone https://github.com/doktordirk/aurelia-authentication-loopback-sample
cd aurelia-authentication-loopback-sample
npm install
cd client-wp
npm install

To run the sample open two shells:

• run server in one console from the root folder with: node .
• run client in the second console from the client-wp folder with: npm run dev

Browse to localhost:9000 to see it in action. Sign up or use the provided user email: [email protected] / password: none.

Configuration

Third-party login

Included are configuration options for facebook and google+ using loopback-component-satellizer

Facebook

You'll need a facebook developer account (developers.facebook.com). Add a new website app (skip quick start). You'll find your facebook app credentials in Settings->Basic: App ID (which is public) and App Secret (which is private, so don't upload that one on github or alike). Set the website url there to eg http:/localhost. In Settings->Advanced in Client OAuth Settings->Valid OAuth redirect URIs add http:/localhost:9000. That's the default client address in this project.

Copy /server/component-config.local.json.bak to /server/component-config.local.json and add your facebook App Secret. Loopback applies *.local.json and *.local.js setting files after the default *.json or *.js. *.local.json and *.local.js are added to .gitignore as they should not be publicly uploaded.

Open /client/src/authConfig.js and add your public facebook clientId=App ID
