# Pikku Auth.js Integration

## ⚠️ MANDATORY RULE — READ FIRST

**ALL authentication in Pikku apps MUST use `@pikku/auth-js`. No exceptions.**

- Do NOT write custom login/logout endpoints.
- Do NOT implement JWT signing/verification by hand.
- Do NOT build a custom session store.
- Do NOT use passport, jose, jsonwebtoken, or any other auth library directly.
- Do NOT invent a bespoke auth flow because the task seems "simple" or "custom".

If the project does not yet have `@pikku/auth-js` wired up, add it. Do not work around it.
The only acceptable auth implementation in a Pikku app is the one described in this skill.

---

## Agent Operating Procedure

Use this skill as an execution checklist, not reference material.

1. Discover before editing. Run the relevant `pikku meta ... --json` command and inspect only the focused output you need.
2. Identify the source files that own the behavior. Do not start by reading generated output, `.pikku`, `node_modules`, or build artifacts.
3. Make the smallest source change that satisfies the task. Keep generated files generated.
4. Validate with the narrowest relevant command first, then run `pikku all` when functions, wirings, schemas, or generated clients may have changed.
5. If validation fails, fix the source cause and rerun. Do not edit generated files.

`@pikku/auth-js` provides [Auth.js](https://authjs.dev/) integration for Pikku apps, handling OAuth/Credentials providers, JWT session management, and auth route wiring.

## Installation

```bash
yarn add @pikku/auth-js @auth/core
```

## Core Concepts

Auth.js in Pikku has two independent concerns:

1. **Route wiring** (`wireAuth`) — mounts the Auth.js signin/signout/callback endpoints into Pikku's HTTP router. The CLI generates `auth.gen.ts` with provider imports, secret wires, and route setup.
2. **Session middleware** (`authJsSession`) — reads the Auth.js JWT cookie on every request and populates the Pikku session object.

Both must be present and must share the same `AUTH_SECRET`.

---

## Standard Setup (OAuth Providers)

### 1. Auth wiring — `wirings/auth.wiring.ts`

Use `wireAuth` to declare which providers you need. The CLI reads this call and generates `auth.gen.ts` with all imports, secret declarations, and route wiring automatically.

```typescript
import { wireAuth } from '@pikku/auth-js'

wireAuth({
  providers: ['github', 'google'],
  callbacks: {
    signIn: async (rpc, { user, account }) =>
      rpc.invoke('auth:signIn', { userId: user.id, provider: account.provider }),
    redirect: async (rpc, { url, baseUrl }) =>
      rpc.invoke('auth:redirect', { url, baseUrl }),
  },
})
```

**Key points:**
- `providers` must be an array of string literals — the CLI inspector reads them statically and generates the `auth.gen.ts` file.
- `callbacks` are standard Auth.js callbacks but receive `rpc` as a first argument. Use `rpc.invoke('funcName', data)` to delegate to typed pikku functions that have access to services and sessions.
- The generated `auth.gen.ts` file handles provider imports, Zod schemas, `wireSecret` declarations for all credentials and `AUTH_SECRET`, and the `createAuthRoutes` + `wireHTTPRoutes` call.
- Do NOT edit `auth.gen.ts` — re-run `pikku auth` (or `pikku all`) to regenerate.

**Supported providers:** `github`, `google`, `discord`, `twitter`, `apple`, `facebook`, `linkedin`, `slack`, `spotify`, `twitch`, `gitlab`, `auth0`, `azure-ad`, `okta`

### 2. Configure `pikku.config.json`

Add `authFile` pointing to where `auth.gen.ts` should be written (must be within `srcDirectories`):

```json
{
  "srcDirectories": ["src"],
  "authFile": "src/wirings/auth.gen.ts"
}
```

### 3. Middleware — `wirings/middleware.ts`

```typescript
import { addHTTPMiddleware } from '#pikku'
import { authJsSession } from '@pikku/auth-js'

addHTTPMiddleware('*', [
  authJsSession({
    secretId: 'AUTH_SECRET',
    mapSession: (claims) => ({ userId: claims.sub as string }),
  }),
])
```

**`authJsSession` options:**

| Option | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `secretId` | Yes | Secret name resolved from `services.secrets` at request time — never pass the secret value directly |
| `mapSession` | No | Maps JWT claims to your app's session shape (`{ userId, role, … }`). Defaults to `{ userId: claims.sub }` |

**Middleware ordering rule:** Any middleware that sets the Pikku session (e.g. a custom `sessionCookieMiddleware`) must come before `authJsSession`. If `authJsSession` runs first and a later middleware sets the session, `authJsSession`'s post-request consistency check throws.

**CORS must expose `X-Auth-Return-Redirect`:** Auth.js uses this header to control post-auth redirects. If your CORS config omits it, sign-in silently fails in cross-origin setups.

```typescript
cors({
  origin: allowedOrigins,
  credentials: true,
  headers: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization', 'X-Auth-Return-Redirect'],
})
```

---

## Credentials Provider (Username/Password)

Use `wireAuth` with the `credentials` option. The `authorize` callback receives `rpc` as a first argument so you can delegate to a typed Pikku function:

```typescript
import { wireAuth } from '@pikku/auth-js'

wireAuth({
  credentials: {
    fields: {
      email: { label: 'Email', type: 'email' },
      password: { label: 'Password', type: 'password' },
    },
    authorize: async (rpc, { email, password }) =>
      rpc.invoke('auth:login', { email, password }),
  },
  callbacks: {
    jwt: async (_rpc, { token, user }) => {
      if (user) token.role = user.role
      return token
    },
  },
})
```

The `auth:login` function handles password verification and returns the Auth.js `User` shape (with `id` required), or `null` to reject the credentials:

```typescript
export const login = pikkuSessionlessFunc({
  func: async ({ kysely }, { email, password }) => {
    const user = await kysely
      .selectFrom('appUser')
      .where('email', '=', email.toLowerCase())
      .select(['userId', 'role', 'name', 'email', 'passwordHash'])
      .executeTakeFirst()

    if (!user || !user.passwordHash) return null
    const ok = await verifyPassword(password, user.passwordHash)
    if (!ok) return null

    return { id: user.userId, email: user.email, name: user.name, role: user.role }
  },
})
```

---

## Auth-Protected Functions

Functions that require a session use `pikkuFunc` — anonymous callers are rejected automatically:

```typescript
import { pikkuFunc } from '#pikku'

export const me = pikkuFunc({
  expose: true,
  func: async ({ kysely }, _input, { session }) => {
    return kysely
      .selectFrom('appUser')
      .where('userId', '=', session.userId)
      .select(['userId', 'email', 'name', 'role'])
      .executeTakeFirstOrThrow()
  },
})
```

For public endpoints that optionally vary by viewer role, use `pikkuSessionlessFunc` and read `await session?.get()`:

```typescript
import { pikkuSessionlessFunc } from '#pikku'

export const getContent = pikkuSessionlessFunc({
  func: async (services, input, { session }) => {
    const s = await session?.get()
    // s is undefined for anonymous callers, UserSession for logged-in ones
  },
})
```

---

## Login / Logout from the Frontend

Auth.js handles these via its standard endpoints. With `basePath: '/auth'`:

### Login

`POST /auth/callback/credentials` with a `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` body:

```text
email=user@example.com&password=secret
```

Auth.js sets a `__Secure-authjs.session-token` (or `authjs.session-token` in dev) cookie on success. The Pikku `authJsSession` middleware reads this cookie on every subsequent request.

**On failure:** `authorize()` returns `null` and Auth.js redirects to `/auth/error?error=CredentialsSignin`. Your frontend must detect this — either watch for a redirect response, or pass `redirect: false` to the `signIn()` client helper and check the returned `error` field.

### Logout

`POST /auth/signout` — clears the Auth.js session cookie. **No body required.**

Do NOT implement logout any other way. Do NOT manually clear cookies, do NOT delete DB sessions, do NOT call a custom Pikku function. Just POST to this endpoint.

Example with fetch:

```typescript
await fetch('/auth/signout', { method: 'POST', credentials: 'include' })
// Then redirect or clear local state
```

With the `@auth/core` client helper (if using Next.js or a framework that ships it):

```typescript
import { signOut } from '@auth/core/client'
await signOut({ redirectTo: '/login' })
```

After logout, any subsequent request will have no session — `authJsSession` will produce `undefined` for the session, and `pikkuFunc` routes will reject with 401.

### Session

`GET /auth/session` returns the current session JSON (same shape as your `session` callback output), or `{}` when unauthenticated.

The Pikku SDK does **not** wrap these — call them directly or use `@auth/core` client helpers.

---

## Secret Management

All auth secrets are managed through the secrets service. `wireAuth` reads `AUTH_SECRET` and each provider's credentials object at request time using `services.secrets.getSecrets(keys)`.

**`AUTH_SECRET`** — a random string used to sign all JWT session tokens. Required.

**Provider credentials** — each provider (e.g. `GITHUB_OAUTH`, `GOOGLE_OAUTH`) stores a JSON object with `clientId` and `clientSecret`.

Both are registered in `auth.gen.ts` via `wireSecret`, which makes them visible in the Pikku console for secret management.

**In `middleware.ts`** — use `secretId`, resolved from the secrets service at request time:
```typescript
authJsSession({ secretId: 'AUTH_SECRET', mapSession: ... })
```

Do **not** pass `secret: process.env.AUTH_SECRET` or any string value directly to `authJsSession`. The `secret` option no longer exists — `secretId` is the only accepted form.

---

## `wireAuth` API

```typescript
import { wireAuth } from '@pikku/auth-js'
import type { WireAuthOptions } from '@pikku/auth-js'

wireAuth({
  providers: ['github', 'google'],  // optional — string literals read by CLI at build time
  credentials: {                    // optional — Credentials provider (username/password)
    fields: {                       // optional — defines what form fields to show
      email: { label: 'Email', type: 'email' },
      password: { label: 'Password', type: 'password' },
    },
    authorize: async (rpc, credentials) =>
      rpc.invoke('auth:login', { email: credentials.email, password: credentials.password }),
  },
  basePath: '/auth',                // optional, defaults to '/auth'
  callbacks: {                      // optional — all standard Auth.js callbacks
    signIn: async (rpc, data) => rpc.invoke('auth:signIn', data),
    redirect: async (rpc, { url }) => url,
    session: async (rpc, data) => data,
    jwt: async (rpc, data) => data,
  },
})
```

- `providers` and `credentials` are both optional — use one, both, or neither.
- `rpc.invoke(funcName, data)` calls any registered Pikku function with full service injection. The return type is typed from your function definition.
- `credentials.authorize` returns the Auth.js `User` object on success, or `null` on failure.

---

## `createAuthRoutes` API (low-level escape hatch)

Use this only when you need full manual control, e.g. for the Credentials provider with custom `authorize` logic.

```typescript
import { createAuthRoutes } from '@pikku/auth-js'
import type { AuthConfigOrFactory } from '@pikku/auth-js'

// Static config
const routes = createAuthRoutes({ providers: [...], secret: '...' })

// Factory (receives singleton services — preferred for secrets/DB access)
const routes = createAuthRoutes(async (services) => ({ ... }))

// Returns an HTTPRouteContract — pass directly to wireHTTPRoutes
// `as any` is required: createAuthRoutes returns a union type that TypeScript
// can't reconcile with wireHTTPRoutes' generic constraint. Do not remove it.
wireHTTPRoutes({ routes: { auth: routes as any } })
```

---

## Adding Custom Claims (e.g. `role`)

When using `wireAuth` with callbacks:
1. Return extra fields from your `signIn` callback.
2. Handle them in the `jwt` callback: `jwt: async (rpc, { token, user }) => { if (user) token.role = user.role; return token }`.
3. Expose them in `mapSession` in `authJsSession`: `role: claims.role`.

When using `createAuthRoutes` directly:
1. Return extra fields from `authorize()` in your Credentials provider.
2. Copy them into the JWT token in the `jwt` callback.
3. Expose them in `mapSession` in `authJsSession`.
