# Stacks Authentication & Authorization The `@stacksjs/auth` package provides comprehensive authentication and authorization for Stacks applications, built on `@stacksjs/ts-auth`. ## Key Paths - Core package source: `storage/framework/core/auth/src/` - Configuration: `config/auth.ts` - Security config: `config/security.ts` - Hashing config: `config/hashing.ts` - Application gates: `app/Gates.ts` - Application middleware: `app/Middleware/` - Middleware aliases: `app/Middleware.ts` - Auth types: `storage/framework/core/types/src/auth.ts` ## Source Files ``` auth/src/ ├── index.ts # All re-exports ├── authentication.ts # Auth class - core auth logic ├── authenticator.ts # 2FA and personal access client ├── client.ts # Client re-exports ├── middleware.ts # Auth middleware handler ├── rate-limiter.ts # RateLimiter class (5 attempts, 15min lockout) ├── passkey.ts # WebAuthn/Passkey support ├── password/reset.ts # Password reset flow ├── register.ts # User registration ├── user.ts # Auth user helpers ├── tokens.ts # Token CRUD, scopes, refresh tokens, OAuth clients ├── gate.ts # Authorization gates & policies ├── policy.ts # BasePolicy class + discovery ├── authorizable.ts # User authorization mixin ├── rbac.ts # Full RBAC system ├── email-verification.ts # Email verification flow └── session-auth.ts # Session-based SPA auth ``` ## Auth Class (authentication.ts) — Static Methods ### Login & Authentication - `Auth.attempt(credentials: AuthCredentials): Promise<boolean>` — validate credentials without creating token - `Auth.validate(credentials: AuthCredentials): Promise<boolean>` — alias for attempt - `Auth.login(credentials: AuthCredentials, options?: TokenCreateOptions): Promise<{ user, token } | null>` — login and create token - `Auth.loginUsingId(userId: number, options?: TokenCreateOptions): Promise<{ user, token } | null>` — login by user ID - `Auth.logout(): Promise<void>` — revoke current token ### Personal access tokens (Sanctum-shaped) `oauth_access_tokens` is polymorphic: `tokenable_type` holds the owner's TABLE name (`users`, `authors`) and `tokenable_id` its id there, so any model declaring `useAuth` can hold tokens - not only `User`. - `createToken(id, name, scopes, { tokenableType })` — mint one. Returns the plaintext ONCE (`plainTextToken`); the table stores a hash and nothing can recover it afterwards. `tokenableType` defaults to `users`. - `tokens(id, tokenableType?)` — list an owner's live tokens. - `tokenCan(scope)` / `tokenCanAll` / `tokenCanAny` / `tokenAbilities` — check the current request's token. - `revokeToken`, `revokeTokenById`, `revokeAllTokens(id, type?)`, `revokeOtherTokens(id, type?)` — revocation also revokes the paired refresh token, which a raw row delete does not. - `setTrailActor(id)` — attribute writes in a queue job or CLI run that has no request to read a user from. The `PersonalAccessToken` model maps the same table, so `owner.with('tokenable')` lists exactly what `createToken` minted. It deliberately generates no CRUD routes: minting and revoking both carry semantics a generic route does not. - `Auth.once(credentials: AuthCredentials): Promise<boolean>` — one-time auth without token - `Auth.requestToken(credentials, clientId, clientSecret): Promise<{ token } | null>` — OAuth token request ### User State - `Auth.user(): Promise<UserModel | undefined>` — get authenticated user from bearer token - `Auth.check(): Promise<boolean>` — is user authenticated? - `Auth.guest(): Promise<boolean>` — is user a guest? - `Auth.id(): Promise<number | undefined>` — get authenticated user ID - `Auth.setUser(user: UserModel): void` — manually set user ### Token Creation - `Auth.createTokenForUser(user, options?: TokenCreateOptions): Promise<NewAccessToken>` - `Auth.createToken(user, name?, abilities?): Promise<AuthToken>` ### Token Validation - `Auth.validateToken(token: string): Promise<boolean>` — validate bearer token - `Auth.getUserFromToken(token: string): Promise<UserModel | undefined>` - `Auth.currentAccessToken(): Promise<PersonalAccessToken | undefined>` ### Token Abilities (Scopes) - `Auth.tokenCan(ability: string): Promise<boolean>` - `Auth.tokenCant(ability: string): Promise<boolean>` - `Auth.tokenAbilities(): Promise<string[]>` - `Auth.tokenCanAll(abilities: string[]): Promise<boolean>` - `Auth.tokenCanAny(abilities: string[]): Promise<boolean>` ### Token Management - `Auth.tokens(userId?: number): Promise<PersonalAccessToken[]>` - `Auth.revokeToken(token: string): Promise<void>` - `Auth.revokeTokenById(tokenId: number): Promise<void>` - `Auth.revokeAllTokens(userId?: number): Promise<void>` - `Auth.revokeOtherTokens(userId?: number): Promise<void>` - `Auth.pruneExpiredTokens(): Promise<number>` - `Auth.pruneRevokedTokens(): Promise<number>` - `Auth.rotateToken(oldToken: string): Promise<AuthToken | null>` - `Auth.findToken(tokenId: number): Promise<PersonalAccessToken | null>` ### Utility - `Auth.guard(name?: string): typeof Auth` — select guard (returns self) - `Auth.viaRemember(): boolean` — always false currently - `Auth.clearState(): void` — clear cached user/token ## Token System (tokens.ts) ### Access Tokens - `tokens(userId: number): Promise<AccessToken[]>` - `findToken(plainTextToken: string): Promise<AccessToken | null>` - `currentAccessToken(): Promise<AccessToken | null>` - `createToken(userId, name?, scopes?, options?): Promise<PersonalAccessTokenResult>` - Options: `{ expiresInMinutes?, withRefreshToken?, refreshExpiresInDays? }` ### Refresh Tokens - `refreshToken(refreshTokenPlain, options?): Promise<RefreshTokenResult>` - `validateRefreshToken(refreshTokenPlain): Promise<boolean>` - `revokeRefreshToken(refreshTokenPlain): Promise<void>` - `revokeAllRefreshTokens(userId): Promise<void>` -

`revokeAllTokens(userId): Promise<void>` - `revokeOtherTokens(userId): Promise<void>` - `deleteExpiredTokens(): Promise<number>` - `deleteRevokedTokens(daysOld?): Promise<number>` ### Token Scopes - `tokenCan(scope): Promise<boolean>` - `tokenCant(scope): Promise<boolean>` - `tokenCanAll(scopes): Promise<boolean>` - `tokenCanAny(scopes): Promise<boolean>` - `tokenAbilities(): Promise<string[]>` - `parseScopes(scopes: string | string[] | null | undefined): TokenScopes` ### OAuth Clients - `clients(userId): Promise<OAuthClient[]>` - `findClient(clientId): Promise<OAuthClient | null>` - `createClient(options: CreateClientOptions): Promise<CreateClientResult>` - `revokeClient(clientId): Promise<void>` ## Two-Factor Authentication (authenticator.ts) - `generateTwoFactorSecret(): string` - `generateTwoFactorToken(secret: Secret): Promise<Token>` - `verifyTwoFactorCode(token: Token, secret: Secret): Promise<boolean>` - `generateTwoFactorUri(user?, service?, secret?): string` - `createPersonalAccessClient(): Promise<Result<string, never>>` ### Re-exported from @stacksjs/ts-auth - `generateTOTP`, `verifyTOTP`, `generateTOTPSecret`, `totpKeyUri` ## Authorization Gates (gate.ts) ### Gate Functions - `define<T>(ability: string, callback: GateCallback<T>): void` - `policy(model: string | { name }, policyClass: new () => Policy): void` - `before(callback): void` — run before any gate check - `after(callback): void` — run after any gate check -
