Keycloak for Nest.js
CommonJS Modification
This is a modified version of the original Keycloak module for NestJS, designed to support CommonJS module import. public static register(options: KeycloakModuleOptions): DynamicModule
was removed.
Register module with:
KeycloakModule.registerAsync({
useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) => {
return {
baseUrl: 'your-keycloak-url',
realmName: 'your-realm',
clientId: 'your-client-id',
clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
};
},
})
Make sure to replace the placeholder values with your actual Keycloak configuration details.
Note: This modified version of the Keycloak module is provided as-is and is not officially supported by the original package maintainers. Use it at your own discretion.
Installation
Install using npm i --save nestjs-keycloak-admin
or pnpm add nestjs-keycloak-admin
ESM restriction
- Due to
@keycloak/keycloak-admin-client
package,nestjs-keycloak-admin
can't support CommonJS at the moment. The team behindkeycloak-admin-client
made the decision to have a breaking change and support CommonJS. Please refer to this Github issue for more information about their decision-making process. - You need to switch to ESM to run this package without any issues. Please refer to this Github gist for more information.
Initialize KeycloakModule
Then on your app.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import KeycloakModule, { AuthGuard, ResourceGuard, RoleGuard } from 'nestjs-keycloak-admin'
import { APP_GUARD } from '@nestjs/core';
@Module({
imports: [
KeycloakModule.register({
baseUrl: '',
realmName: '',
clientSecret: '',
clientId: ''
})
],
controllers: [AppController],
providers: [
{ provide: APP_GUARD, useClass: AuthGuard },
{ provide: APP_GUARD, useClass: ResourceGuard },
{ provide: APP_GUARD, useClass: RoleGuard },
],
})
export class AppModule {}
Resource Management using User Managed Access (UMA)
By default nestjs-keycloak-admin supports User Managed Access for managing your resources.
import { Controller, Get, Request, ExecutionContext, Post } from '@nestjs/common'
import {
DefineResource,
Public,
KeycloakService,
FetchResources,
Resource,
DefineScope,
DefineResourceEnforcer,
UMAResource,
Scope,
} from 'nestjs-keycloak-admin'
@Controller('/organization')
@DefineResource('organization')
export class AppController {
constructor(private readonly keycloak: KeycloakService) {}
@Get('/hello')
@Public()
sayHello(): string {
return 'life is short.'
}
@Get('/')
@FetchResources()
findAll(@Request() req: any): Resource[] {
return req.resources as Resource[]
}
@Get('/:slug')
@DefineScope('read')
@EnforceResource({
def: ({ params }) => params.slug,
param: 'slug',
})
findBySlug(@Request() req: any): Resource {
return req.resource as Resource
}
@Post('/')
@DefineScope('create')
async create(@Request() req: any): Promise<Resource> {
let resource = new Resource({
name: 'resource',
displayName: 'My Resource',
} as UMAResource)
.setOwner(req.user._id)
.setScopes([new Scope('organization:read'), new Scope('organization:write')])
.setType('urn:resource-server:type:organization')
.setUris(['/organization/123'])
.setAttributes({
valid: true,
types: ['customer', 'any'],
})
resource = await this.keycloak.resourceManager.create(resource)
// create organization on your resource server and add link to resource.id, to access it later.
return resource
}
}
Decorators
@Get('/hello')
@Roles({roles: ['realm:admin'], mode: RoleMatchingMode.ANY})
sayHello(@User() user: KeycloakUser, @AccessToken() accessToken): string {
return `life is short. -${user.email}/${accessToken}`
}
Here is the decorators you can use in your controllers.
Decorator | Description |
---|---|
@User | Retrieves the current Keycloak logged-in user. (must be per method, unless controller is request scoped.) |
@AccessToken | Retrieves the current access token. (must be per method, unless controller is request scoped.) |
@DefineResource | Define the keycloak application resource name. |
@DefineScope | Define the keycloak resource scope (ex: 'create', 'read', 'update', 'delete') |
@EnforceResource | |
@FetchResources | |
@Public | Allow any user to use the route. |
@Roles | Keycloak realm/application roles. Prefix any realm-level roles with "realm:" (i.e realm:admin) |
