Lessons
Our series are curated collections of lessons that walk through a specific topic from beginning to end. Series are a great way to learn a topic in a structured way.
Setting Up Our REST Client
In this lesson, we'll take some time to get set up and get comfortable with a REST Client application. This will allow us to store our API endpoints within collections to simplify testing them as we build them out. In this series, I'll be using Hoppscotch
Our First API Endpoint to Get Our Organization's Details
In this lesson, we'll add the first endpoint to our API. With this endpoint we'll return back the Organization's details for the provided Access Token with the request.
The Goal of our REST API
In this lesson, we'll briefly give an overview of REST and how we'll be taking a practical approach to it when building our API.
Deleting/Revoking Access Tokens
In this lesson, we'll add the ability for our users to revoke an access token by deleting it out of our database.
Displaying & Copying A Newly Created Access Token
In this lesson, we'll add a secondary step to our access token creation flow that will display the newly created access token to the user one time, allow them to copy the token, then drop the token completely from memory.
Listing an Organization's Access Tokens
In this lesson, we'll query all of our organization's access tokens and filter out any tokens that are expired. Then, we'll list the organization's tokens showing it's name, abilities, when it was created, and when it was last used.
Opaque Access Tokens (OAT) vs JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
In this lesson, we'll take a step back to understand the differences between the tokens we're using, which are Opaque Access Tokens (OAT), and JSON Web Tokens (JWT). We'll discuss security, scalability, and what makes up each token.
Creating Access Tokens Part 2: Inertia/Vue
In this lesson, we'll rig up the create access token route we created in the last lesson to a form within our Vue application. We'll also stub the overall manage access tokens card for the organization itself.
Creating Access Tokens Part 1: AdonisJS
In this lesson, we'll add a route to the settings portion of our application allowing the user to create an opaque access token (OAT), with the desired permissions, for the active organization.
Defining Access Token Abilities & DTO
In this lesson, we'll finish up our preparation work by creating a data transfer object (DTO) for our access tokens. Then, we'll define what our token abilities will be within our application's API.
Separation of API & Web Auth Guard Concerns
In this lesson, we'll restrict our routes to their applicable authentication guard. Ensuring our web routes can properly authorize using their role-based authorization and our API can properly authorize using our access token abilities.
Configuring Access Token Auth on top of Session Auth
In this lesson, we'll get opaque access tokens configured within our AdonisJS application on top of the already configured session/web authentication. This will include configuring the guard and setting up the db access token provider.
Overview of our Database Schema
In this lesson, we'll take a high level look at our database's schema so that we have an understanding at the entities and models at play and how they relate to one another within our application.
Getting Familiar with our Web Project
In this lesson, we'll quickly walk through the web application we've cloned down to get familiar with the data at play, how it's presented to the user, and the features at hand.
Getting the Web Project Up & Running
We'll get our web project cloned down. Then, we'll get it configured by first creating our database and running our migrations and seeder. Lastly, we'll get a test SMTP email inbox set up through MailTrap.
Goal of this Series
We'll cover the scope of this series and show some of the functionalities we'll be building throughout, which include an access token management panel, opaque access token authentication using an organization model, and building an API.
AdonisJS Quick Tip #23.0
How to Install & Configure TailwindCSS 4 in AdonisJS 6 using Vite
In this lesson, we'll learn how to get TailwindCSS 4 installed and configured within a new AdonisJS 6 project using TailwindCSS' Vite plugin. We'll then discuss some of the key changes around configuring Tailwind within your project.
AdonisJS Quick Tip #22.0
Dump & Die Debugging in AdonisJS 6
In this lesson, we'll cover the dump and die feature in AdonisJS 6, and how we can use it to easily inspect and debug state and other variables within our application.
