Auth configurations

Auth configurations are basically related to current user either it is a logged in user or a guest user, warlock embraces the concept of guest users, so it is important to define the guest user configurations.

• userType: The user type model, it's used to identify the current user type, it's required when using Auth Middleware.
• jwt.secret: JWT Secret key to sign and verify the JWT token.

User Types

Auth Middleware requires a user type that should be defined inside the auth.userType configurations, so it can identifies the current model to work with it.

For default installation, there are two user types: User and Guest models, but you can add more user types, and you can define the default user type.

Each key inside the auth.userType represents the user type name, and the value represents the user type model.

info

Each user type MUST extend Auth model because it generates and stores the JWT token

src/config/auth.ts

import { AuthConfigurations, Guest } from "@warlock.js/core";
import { User } from "app/users/models/user";

const authConfigurations: AuthConfigurations = {
  userType: {
    guest: Guest,
    user: User,
  },
  jwt: {
    secret: "secret",
  },
};

export default authConfigurations;

Guest is a simple model that extends the Auth model and it's used to identify the guest user.

JWT Configurations

Any options supported by Fastify JWT can be passed to the jwt object.

Secret Key

The jwt secret key is generated automatically inside the .env file, so make sure to change it in the production environment.

Secret key can be primitive (string) or can be an object contains public and private keys, it's used to sign and verify the JWT token.

This is the only required option for JWT configurations.

Check the JWT Documentation for more information.
