Satellizer is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module for AngularJS with built-in support for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Bitbucket, Yahoo, Twitch, Microsoft (Windows Live) OAuth providers, as well as Email and Password sign-in. However, you are not limited to the sign-in options above, in fact you can add any OAuth 1.0 or OAuth 2.0 provider by passing provider-specific information in the app config block.

Usage

Step 1. App Module

angular.module('MyApp', ['satellizer'])
  .config(function($authProvider) {

    $authProvider.facebook({
      clientId: 'Facebook App ID'
    });

    // Optional: For client-side use (Implicit Grant), set responseType to 'token' (default: 'code')
    $authProvider.facebook({
      clientId: 'Facebook App ID',
      responseType: 'token'
    });

    $authProvider.google({
      clientId: 'Google Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.github({
      clientId: 'GitHub Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.linkedin({
      clientId: 'LinkedIn Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.instagram({
      clientId: 'Instagram Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.yahoo({
      clientId: 'Yahoo Client ID / Consumer Key'
    });

    $authProvider.live({
      clientId: 'Microsoft Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.twitch({
      clientId: 'Twitch Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.bitbucket({
      clientId: 'Bitbucket Client ID'
    });

    $authProvider.spotify({

    });

    // No additional setup required for Twitter

    $authProvider.oauth2({
      name: 'foursquare',

      clientId: 'Foursquare Client ID',
      redirectUri: window.location.origin,
      authorizationEndpoint: 'https://foursquare.com/oauth2/authenticate',
    });

  });

Step 2. Controller

angular.module('MyApp')
  .controller('LoginCtrl', function($scope, $auth) {

    $scope.authenticate = function(provider) {
      $auth.authenticate(provider);
    };

  });

Authentication Flow

Satellizer relies on token-based authentication using JSON Web Tokens instead of cookies.

Additionally, authorization (obtaining user's information with their permission) and authentication (application sign-in) requires sever-side implementation. See provided examples implemented in multiple languages for your convenience. In other words, you cannot just launch your AngularJS application and expect everything to work. The only exception is when you use OAuth 2.0 Implicit Grant (client-side) authorization by setting responseType: 'token' in provider's configuration.

FAQ

:question: How do I set offline_access?

$authProvider.google({
  optionalUrlParams: ['access_type'],
  accessType: 'offline'
});

:question: Can I change redirectUri to something other than base URL?

By default, redirectUri is set to window.location.origin (protocol, hostname, port number of a URL) for all OAuth providers. This redirectUri must match exactly the URL¹ specified in your OAuth app settings.

Facebook (example)

However, you can set redirectUri to any URL path you desire. For instance, you may follow the naming convention of Passport.js:

// Note: Must be absolute path.
window.location.origin + '/auth/facebook/facebook/callback'
window.location.origin + '/auth/facebook/google/callback'
...

Using the example above, a popup window will be redirected to http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback?code=YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_CODE after a successful Facebook authorization. To avoid potential 404 errors, create server routes for each redirectUri URL that return 200 OK. Or alternatively, you may render a custom template with a loading spinner. For the moment, a popup will not stay long enough to see that custom template, due to 20ms interval polling, but in the future I may add support for overriding this polling interval value.

As far as Satellizer is concerned, it does not matter what is the value of redirectUri as long as it matches URL in your OAuth app settings. Satellizer's primary concern is to read URL query/hash parameters, then close a popup.

¹ Note: Depending on the OAuth provider, it may be called Site URL, Callback URL, Redirect URL, and so on.

:question: How can I send a token in a format other than Authorization: Bearer <token>?

If you are unable to send a token to your server in the following format - Authorization: Bearer <token>, then use $authProvider.tokenHeader and $authProvider.tokenType config options to change the header format. The default values are Authorization and Bearer, respectively.

For example, if you need to use Authorization: Basic header, this is where you change it.

:question: How can I avoid sending Authorization header on all HTTP requests?

By default, once user is authenticated, JWT will be sent on every request. If you would like to prevent that, you could use skipAuthorization option in your $http request. For example:

$http({
  method: 'GET',
  url: '/api/endpoint',
  skipAuthorization: true  // `Authorization: Bearer <token>` will not be sent on this request.
});

:question: Is there a way to dynamically change localStorage to sessionStorage?

Yes, you can toggle between localStorage and sessionStorage via the following Satellizer methods:

:question: I am having a problem with Ionic authentication on iOS 9.

First, check what kind of error you are getting by opening the Web Inspector from Develop > Simulator > index.html menu. If you have configured everything correctly, chances are you running into the following error:

Failed to load resource: The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.

Follow instructions on this StackOverflow post by adding NSAppTransportSecurity to info.plist. That should fix the problem.
