AngularJS Authentication with Auth0

This repo shows how to implement authentication in an AngularJS 1.x application with Auth0.

Installation and Running the App

Clone the repo, then:

npm install
npm install -g http-server
npm install -g nodemon

You will need an Auth0 account to run the example. Sign up for a free account and then go to your dashboard to get your credentials.

Do not forget to add http://localhost:8080 into Allowed Origins (CORS) section in Settings page of the application which you are using.

Enter your domain and client ID for the front end.

// client/app.js

...

// Initialize Auth0 configuration
authProvider.init({
  domain: 'YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN',
  clientID: 'YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'
});

...

Then enter your client ID and client secret for the express-jwt middleware in the backend.

// server/server.js

...

var authCheck = jwt({
  secret: new Buffer('YOUR_AUTH0_SECRET', 'base64'),
  audience: 'YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'
});

...

With your credentials in place, you can run the app.

# Run the server
nodemon server/server.js

# Run the front-end (in a new console tab)
cd ..
http-server

And eventually you open the browser and access the address http://localhost:8080/#/home to see the app
