This is a follow-up story for #4753
After extracting it into the local example package, we will move the component into a standalone extension module.
Copy the acceptance criteria from 4753
Suggestion
After creating the demo for JWT authentication in loopback4-shopping-example, and applied a similar auth system in loopback-example-access-control, we think it's time to extract the jwt authentication system into a separate extension package, so that:
jwt related services, bindings can be packed as a component
people can easily mount the component when they need a simple working authentication system, they can customize and enhance the system later
separating the component from example apps will give people a much more clear idea of what's the core of authentication
Use Cases
This extension will provide a basic jwt authentication system as a component. It's used when people want to see a demo of how to leverage an existing authentication strategy, or need a prototype of authentication to plugin and add code on it(like authorization).
Examples
In your application file, mount the authentication component like
// find a better nameimport{JWT_AUTH_COMPONENT}from'@loopback/jwt-authentication-extension'exportclassMyApplicationextendsBootMixin(ServiceMixin(RepositoryMixin(RestApplication)),){this.component(JWT_AUTH_COMPONENT)}
Then you can secure controller endpoints with @authenticate('jwt').
Details to figure out by the story owner: how to provide the custom User model. Include it in the component? Or define it in the app and integrate it with the component?
Acceptance criteria
Extract jwt.auth.strategy.ts, jwt.service.ts, security.spec.ts, user.service.ts, keys.ts and bindings in application.ts from feat: add access control migration app #4571 into a component
After finishing step 3, we should have a better understanding of how to refactor the shopping example, if we have bandwidth, refactor it in a separate story, and also update the existing auth tutorials if needed (issue Refactor Shopping Example: simulate ACLs with LB4 authorization #4522)
update README file and have a link to reference it
