Auth0 Cordova (FORK)

"I foreked this repo because I was in need of a quick fix that couldn't wait for the PR process. The crypto.js file is requiring crypto which has been depricated. I've updated it to use crypto-browserify to resolve the issue quickly with the same functionality" -- Stetson

Library to make it easy to integrate Auth0 login in your Cordova applications.

Requirements

The library requires these two cordova plugins to work:

• cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller: Shows Safari/Chrome browser ViewController/CustomTab
• cordova-plugin-customurlscheme: Handles the custom scheme url intents for callback

you'll need to run

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-customurlscheme --variable URL_SCHEME={application package name} --variable ANDROID_SCHEME={application package name} --variable ANDROID_HOST={auth0 domain} --variable ANDROID_PATHPREFIX=/cordova/{application package name}/callback

In cordova applications, the application package name is the widget's identifier in config.xml

So if you have the following values

• application package name or widget identifier: com.auth0.cordova.example
• auth0 domain: samples.auth0.com

in your config you should have some entries like

<preference name="AndroidLaunchMode" value="singleTask" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-customurlscheme" spec="~4.2.0">
    <variable name="URL_SCHEME" value="com.auth0.cordova.example" />
    <variable name="ANDROID_SCHEME" value="com.auth0.cordova.example" />
    <variable name="ANDROID_HOST" value="sample.auth0.com" />
    <variable name="ANDROID_PATHPREFIX" value="/cordova/com.auth0.cordova.example/callback" />
</plugin>
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller" spec="~1.4.6" />

Setup

From npm

npm install @auth0/cordova

then in your index.js you need to register the url handler ondeviceready

var Auth0Cordova = require('@auth0/cordova');
 
function main() {
    function handlerUrl(url) {
        Auth0Cordova.onRedirectUri(url);
    }
    window.handleOpenURL = handlerUrl;
    // init your application
}
 
document.addEventListener('deviceready', main);

Usage

const auth0 = new Auth0Cordova({
  domain: "{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}",
  clientId: "{YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID}",
  packageIdentifier: "{WIDGET_ID_IN_CONFIG_XML}"
});
 
const options = {
  scope: 'openid profile',
};
 
auth0.authorize(options, function (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    // failure
  }
  // success!
});

This will open your tenant's hosted login page in the OS browser and will use OAuth 2.0 code grant flow with Proof Key for Code Exchange.

Common Issues

1. The plugin is not working in Ionic / Cordova dev app.

   The plugin needs to be deployed on a real device to function, this is so because the dev apps do not add the necessary plugins needed for this library to function correctly. You'll need to either create a clone / fork of the Dev App or need to deploy it to a real device to test.

2. The app hangs after authentication

   If 1 does not solve your problem, please make sure you have cordova-plugin-customurlscheme installed or an appropirate plugin to handle the callback (like deeplinks / universal links) and you are handling the callback appropriately
