Example App

[Zaszczyk]

Description

Could you provide example app implementing the framework? It is pretty hard to implement all actions using the docs.

Hi @Zaszczyk,

There is a simple demo application (based on Symfony).
I don't know of any simple PHP application similar to this one.

Same here, quite hard to follow the docs, in a step by step usage tutorial, the documentation do not provide a line of progression. I was planning to create a tutorial end to end but I have not been able to integrate it myself.

[Spomky]

What kind of application are you looking for?
I will take the time to update the documentation and improve the progress to make the implementation easier, but I need to know what is blocking you.

Thanks

For example in the https://webauthn-doc.spomky-labs.com/pure-php/authenticator-registration page, it is not clear what to store once the registration has been completed
You can store the Public Key Credential Source ($publicKeyCredentialSource).

Should I store the complete object serialized or just part of it like credentialPublicKey?

I managed to make a working app, using this library but was quite hard from the documentation. For example this section

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

$publicKeyCredentialSource = $publicKeyCredentialSourceRepository->findOneByCredentialId(
    $publicKeyCredential->rawId
);
if ($publicKeyCredentialSource === null) {
   // Throw an exception if the credential is not found.
   // It can also be rejected depending on your security policy (e.g. disabled by the user because of loss)
}

$publicKeyCredentialSource = $authenticatorAssertionResponseValidator->check(
    $publicKeyCredentialSource,
    $authenticatorAssertionResponse,
    $publicKeyCredentialRequestOptions,
    'my-application.com',
    $userEntity?->id // Should be `null` if the user entity is not known before this step
);

// Optional, but highly recommended, you can save the credential source as it may be modified
// during the verification process (counter may be higher).
$publicKeyCredentialSourceRepository->saveCredential($publicKeyCredentialSource);

is missing quite a loft of info like how to create the $authenticatorAssertionResponseValidator, what is the $publicKeyCredentialSourceRepository repository DB looks like, does not explicity highlight that the $csmFactory->requestCeremony() is different from the register one.

Is there a way to contribute to the documentation website, or that is propertary?

I agree that the docs are very hard and overwhelming. I feel kind of dumb not understanding anything of it.

If you have ideas on how to improve the docs, please do @albanx 🙌 https://github.com/web-auth/doc/tree/v5.0

It would really help to see a full pure PHP implementation, where you see what is needed for the setup, how the attestation works, and the assertion.

Is the example app still up to date? Last commit was 2 years ago.
