Getting Started

We use Yarn as our node package manager during package development. To install Yarn, check out their install documentation.

# Clone the repo and navigate to it
git clone [email protected]:okta/okta-oidc-js.git
cd okta-oidc-js

# Install dependencies
yarn install

Packages

Monorepo

The okta-oidc-js repo is managed as a monorepo using Lerna. Each package within the monorepo is a separate npm module, each with its own package.json and node_modules directory.

Packages are parsed from the packages property in lerna.json, and adhere to this structure:

packages/
  configuration-validation
  jwt-verifier
  oidc-middleware
  okta-angular
  okta-react
  okta-react-native
  okta-vue

Versioning

We've configured Lerna with independent mode, which means that each package is required to manage its own version number.

Public packages

Package	Status	Description
configuration-validation		Standard pattern for validating configuration passed into Okta JavaScript libraries and SDKs.
jwt-verifier		Easily verify JWTs from Okta
okta-angular		Angular support for Okta
oidc-middleware		Middleware to easily add OpenID Connect to the Node.js framework of your choice
okta-react		React support for Okta
okta-react-native		React Native support for Okta
okta-vue		Vue.js support for Okta

Configuration Reference

Each package is configured to look for environment variables based on the application type.

# Navigate into a specific package
cd packages/${packageName}

# Set the following environment variables
#
# ISSUER        - your authorization server
# CLIENT_ID     - the client ID of your app
# CLIENT_SECRET - the client secret of your app, required for the oidc-middleware package
# USERNAME      - username of app user, required for tests
# PASSWORD      - password of app user, required for tests
export ISSUER=https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default
...

Test an individual package

# Navigate into a specific package
cd packages/${packageName}

# Run the test suite
yarn test

Test all packages

Define the following environment variables at the project root and run the tests:

# Perform exports at the root of the repository
[okta-oidc-js]$ export ISSUER=https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default
[okta-oidc-js]$ export SPA_CLIENT_ID={SPAClientID}
[okta-oidc-js]$ export WEB_CLIENT_ID={webAppClientID}
[okta-oidc-js]$ export CLIENT_SECRET={webAppClientSecret}
[okta-oidc-js]$ export USERNAME={username}
[okta-oidc-js]$ export PASSWORD={password}
