import { CodeTabs, CodeTab } from "docs-ui" export const metadata = { title: `Auth Module`, } # {metadata.title} The Auth Module is the `@medusajs/auth` NPM package that provides authentication-related features in your Medusa and Node.js applications. --- ## Features ### Authenticate Users With the Auth Module, authenticate users using their credentials. ```ts const { success, authUser, error } = await authModuleService.authenticate("emailpass", { url: req.url, headers: req.headers, query: req.query, body: req.body, authScope: "admin", protocol: req.protocol, } as AuthenticationInput) if (!success) { throw new Error(error) } // user is authenticated ``` ### Third-Party and Social Authentication The Auth Module supports a variety of authentication methods, such as authenticating with third-party services and social platforms. ```ts // in authentication API route const { success, authUser, location } = await authModuleService.authenticate("google", { url: req.url, headers: req.headers, query: req.query, body: req.body, authScope: "admin", protocol: req.protocol, } as AuthenticationInput) if (!authUser && location) { res.redirect(location) return } // in callback API route const { success, authUser } = await authModuleService.validateCallback("google", { url: req.url, headers: req.headers, query: req.query, body: req.body, authScope: "admin", protocol: req.protocol, } as AuthenticationInput) ``` --- ## Configure Auth Module After installing the `@medusajs/auth` package in your Medusa application, add it to the `modules` object in `medusa-config.js`: ```js title="medusa-config.js" const modules = { // ... auth: { resolve: "@medusajs/auth", options: { providers: [ // ... ], }, }, } ``` ### Module Options Refer to [this documentation](./module-options/page.mdx) for details on the module's options. --- ## How to Use Auth Module's Service You can use the Auth Module's main service by resolving from the Medusa container the resource `ModuleRegistrationName.AUTH` imported from `@medusajs/modules-sdk`. For example: ```ts title="src/api/store/custom/route.ts" import { MedusaRequest, MedusaResponse } from "@medusajs/medusa" import { IAuthModuleService } from "@medusajs/types" import { ModuleRegistrationName } from "@medusajs/modules-sdk" export async function GET( req: MedusaRequest, res: MedusaResponse ): Promise { const authModuleService: IAuthModuleService = req.scope.resolve(ModuleRegistrationName.AUTH) res.json({ authUsers: authModuleService.list(), }) } ``` ```ts title="src/subscribers/custom-handler.ts" import { SubscriberArgs } from "@medusajs/medusa" import { IAuthModuleService } from "@medusajs/types" import { ModuleRegistrationName } from "@medusajs/modules-sdk" export default async function subscriberHandler({ container, }: SubscriberArgs) { const authModuleService: IAuthModuleService = container.resolve(ModuleRegistrationName.AUTH) const authUsers = await authModuleService.list() } ``` ```ts title="src/workflows/hello-world/step1.ts" import { createStep } from "@medusajs/workflows-sdk" import { IAuthModuleService } from "@medusajs/types" import { ModuleRegistrationName } from "@medusajs/modules-sdk" const step1 = createStep("step-1", async (_, context) => { const authModuleService: IAuthModuleService = context.container.resolve( ModuleRegistrationName.AUTH ) const authUsers = await authModuleService.list() }) ```
