Deepkit provides various options for handling authentication and authorization in your application. You can use middleware, decorators, and role-based access control (RBAC) to manage access to your endpoints. Here are a few options:
- Use middleware to authenticate and authorize requests at a global level or on specific routes.
- Use decorators to restrict access to specific controller actions based on roles or other criteria.
- Implement a custom authentication system using Deepkit's dependency injection and ORM capabilities.
- Use third-party authentication providers, such as OAuth or JWT, and integrate them into your application using Deepkit Framework.
Here's an example of using middleware for authentication:
import { HttpMiddleware, HttpRequest, HttpResponse, HttpUnauthorizedError } from '@deepkit/http'; class AuthMiddleware implements HttpMiddleware { constructor(private database: Database) { } async execute(request: HttpRequest, response: HttpResponse, next: (err?: any) => void) { // Check if the request is authenticated and has the necessary permissions const authorized = await checkAuthorization(request); if (!authorized) { throw new HttpUnauthorizedError(); } // Otherwise, continue with the request next(); } } class UserController { @http.GET('/users') @http.middleware(AuthMiddleware) listUsers() { // Return a list of users } }
In this example, the AuthMiddleware
is used to check if the request is authenticated and authorized to access the listUsers
action. If not, a 401 Unauthorized response is returned.
