# {metadata.title}

The Auth Module is the `@medusajs/auth` NPM package that provides authentication-related features in your Medusa and Node.js applications.

## Features

### Basic User Authentication

With the Auth Module, authenticate users using their email and password credentials.

```ts
const { success, authIdentity, 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) {
  // incorrect authentication details
  throw new Error(error)
}
```

### 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, authIdentity, 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 (!authIdentity && location) {
  res.redirect(location)
  return
}

// in callback API route
const { success, authIdentity } =
  await authModuleService.validateCallback("google", {
    url: req.url,
    headers: req.headers,
    query: req.query,
    body: req.body,
    authScope: "admin",
    protocol: req.protocol,
  } as AuthenticationInput)
```

## 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:

<CodeTabs groupId="resource-type">
  <CodeTab label="API Route" value="api-route">

  ```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<void> {
    const authModuleService: IAuthModuleService =
      req.scope.resolve(ModuleRegistrationName.AUTH)

    res.json({
      authIdentitys: 
        await authModuleService.listAuthIdentities(),
    })
  }
  ```

  </CodeTab>
  <CodeTab label="Subscriber" value="subscribers">

  ```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 authIdentitys = await authModuleService
      .listAuthIdentities()
  }
  ```

  </CodeTab>
  <CodeTab label="Workflow Step" value="workflow-step">

  ```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 (_, { container }) => {
    const authModuleService: IAuthModuleService =
      container.resolve(
        ModuleRegistrationName.AUTH
      )
    const authIdentitys = await authModuleService
      .listAuthIdentities()
  })
  ```
