Auth Connect Training Starter
This application shows a typical structure for applications that require authentication in order to get data. The base application uses email/password for authentication.
Getting Started
- clone this repo
- cd ac-training-starter
- npm i
- npm run build
- npx cap update - this may take a while
- npm run build
- npm start - to run in the browser
- npx cap open ios
General Architecture
Services
Two services and one HTTP interceptor are related to authentication within the application.
IdentityService
The IdentityService defines the identity of the currently logged in user including the authentication token associated with the user. This service also persists the token so it is available between sessions.
AuthenticationService
The AuthenticationService handles the POSTs to the login and logout endpoints. If these operations are successful it registers this fact with the IdentityService.
Application Workflow
Upon starting up, the application attempts to load the HomePage. The HomePage displays the username of the currently logged in user. This page is not accessible if the current user is not logged in, in which case, the application navigates to the login page.
Misc Notes
Email/Password Login Credentials
To login with the base application, specify any email address with ionic as part of the email and any password with test as part of the password. Examples:
ionic@website.com/testpassguy@ionicframework.com/mctesterguy
xcodebuild Error
On one machine, I kept getting the following error:
xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
