Plugin to add Shopify authentication to Actionhero
Still early stages, would love any input!
To configure your Actionhero server to authenicate with shopify oAuth:
- Add this plugin to your actionhero project
npm install ah-shopify-auth-plugin
. Also, if you want to store your creditnails in a file rather than your server's ENVIRONMENT, you cannpm install dotenv
. - Include this plugin in your
config/plugins.ts
.
import { join } from "path";
export const DEFAULT = {
plugins: () => {
return {
"ah-shopify-auth-plugin": {
path: join(__dirname, "..", "node_modules", "ah-shopify-auth-plugin")
}
};
}
};
- Set the required enviornment variables, either in your ENV or
.env
. This plugin requitesSHOPIFY_API_KEY
andSHOPIFY_API_SECRET
.
SHOPIFY_API_KEY=[YOUR_SHOPIFY_API_KEY]
SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=[YOUR_SHOPIFY_API_SECRET]
- Add a
shopifyAuth.ts
to yourconfig
directory with the following:
const path = require("path");
export const DEFAULT = {
shopifyAuth: config => {
return {
apiKey: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_KEY,
apiSecret: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_SECRET,
scopes: 'read_products',
ignoredDirectories: ["static"] //array of ignored directories (top level only)
};
}
};
- In most cases change your default route in
config/servers/web.ts
to be "api" rather than "file" (this plugin only authenticates api calls)
Shopify and chrome now require cookies to be SameSite=none. To do this you need to add these attributes to your sessionID cookie in config/servers/web.ts
:
...
// Settings for determining the id of an http(s) request (browser-fingerprint)
fingerprintOptions: {
cookieKey: "sessionID",
toSetCookie: true,
onlyStaticElements: false,
settings: {
path: "/",
expires: 3600000,
sameSite: "None",
secure: true
}
},
...
Auth Token and scopes are saved on the session object. Like this:
{
shopifySession: {
access_token: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
scope: 'read_products',
shop: 'some-store.myshopify.com'
}
}
If you need to do something with the Shopify authToken once a user authenticates you can overwrite the function:
api.shopifyAuth.afterAuth = async (data, shopifySession) => {
// Overwrite this function process the shopify access token after its been recieved
log("Shopify Authorization Complete!");
return;
}
the data
object is the same data
object passed to Actionhero actions, and the shopifySession
is structured as above.
