Look inside
As the sole engineer for PrincipalStack, an online developer-focused publication, your task is to use an authorization server to log in users and enable your internal team to work in both the newly built community-engaging, single-page application (SPA) and the main (legacy) application—under the same identity. When you’re done, you’ll have leveraged tools including browser-provided JavaScript APIs and HTML to modify the SPA so that it can request, store, and use access tokens tied to that single identity to call the API.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for intermediate JavaScript developers with some experience working with JavaScript in the browser, including basic browser debugging. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Basic JavaScript (declare variables, use loops and branches, object and array destructuring, debugging, error handling, etc.)
- Basic Node.js (including npm and Express.js)
- Basic command line/terminal proficiency
- Basic and intermediate in-browser development tool use (such as network call tracing (including URL parameters and request headers) and cookie management)
- Basic HTML
- Use npm to create a new JS project and manage packages
- Store and use environment variables in a Node environment
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn tools and skills for modifying a SPA so that it can request, store, and use access tokens tied to that single identity to call the API.
- Install and configure packages using the Node Package Manager (npm)
- Use Webpack to compile loaded npm packages into browser-loaded JavaScript code
- Generate secure, random string values using OpenSSL
- Use an open-source library to validate ID tokens from the authorization server response
- Fetch and cache the metadata from an authorization server to find authorization, token, and logout endpoints
- Fetch and cache public keys (JWKS) from an authorization server to validate access tokens
- Implement PKCE to augment the authorization code exchange
- Use the browser's built-in storage, fetch, DOM, and crypto APIs to persist data, load views, and make requests
- Use event listeners to handle user interaction
- Map available scopes to routes in the application
