@delon/auth Authentication & Authorization Skill

This skill helps implement authentication and authorization using @delon/auth library.

Core Principles

Token Management

• JWT Storage: Secure token storage using DA_SERVICE_TOKEN
• Auto Refresh: Automatic token renewal before expiration
• Interceptors: Automatic token injection in HTTP requests
• Logout: Clean token removal and session cleanup

Authorization

• RBAC: Role-based access control
• Permissions: Fine-grained permission checking
• Guards: Route protection with role/permission checks
• ACL Integration: Works with @delon/acl for UI-level controls

Configuration

App Config

// src/app/app.config.ts
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideDelonAuth, DA_SERVICE_TOKEN, ITokenService } from '@delon/auth';
import { JWTTokenModel } from '@delon/auth';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideDelonAuth({
      token_send_key: 'Authorization',
      token_send_template: 'Bearer ${token}',
      token_send_place: 'header',
      login_url: '/passport/login',
      ignores: [/\/login/, /assets\//],
      allow_anonymous_key: 'allow_anonymous',
      executeOtherInterceptors: true,
      refreshTime: 3000, // Refresh token check interval (ms)
      refreshOffset: 6000 // Refresh token before expiration (ms)
    })
  ]
};

Token Model

// src/app/core/models/auth-token.model.ts
import { JWTTokenModel } from '@delon/auth';

export interface AuthTokenModel extends JWTTokenModel {
  token: string;
  uid: string;
  email: string;
  displayName: string;
  role: string;
  permissions: string[];
  exp: number;
}

Authentication Service

// src/app/core/services/auth.service.ts
import { Injectable, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { DA_SERVICE_TOKEN, ITokenService } from '@delon/auth';

      this.authToken.set(tokenData);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Token refresh failed:', error);
      await this.logout();
    }
  }

  /**
   * Check if user has specific role
   */
  hasRole(role: string): boolean {
    return this.userRole() === role;
  }

  /**
   * Check if user has specific permission
   */

   */
  private clearSession(): void {
    this.tokenService.clear();
    this.authToken.set(null);
    this.currentUser.set(null);
  }
}

Auth Guard

// src/app/core/guards/auth.guard.ts
import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, CanActivateFn } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from '@core/services/auth.service';

/**
 * Guard to protect routes requiring authentication
 */
export const authGuard: CanActivateFn = () => {
  const authService = inject(AuthService);
  const router = inject(Router);

  if (authService.isAuthenticated()) {
    return true;
  }

  return router.createUrlTree(['/passport/login']);
};

Role Guard

// src/app/core/guards/role.guard.ts
import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, CanActivateFn, ActivatedRouteSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from '@core/services/auth.service';

/**
 * Guard to protect routes by role
 */
export const roleGuard: CanActivateFn = (route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) => {
  const authService = inject(AuthService);
  const router = inject(Router);

  const requiredRole = route.data['role'] as string;

  if (!requiredRole) {
    console.warn('Role guard used without required role');
    return true;
  }

  if (authService.hasRole(requiredRole)) {
    return true;
  }

  // Redirect to unauthorized page
  return router.createUrlTree(['/exception/403']);
};

/**
 * Usage in routes:
 * {
 *   path: 'admin',
 *   component: AdminComponent,
 *   canActivate: [authGuard, roleGuard],
 *   data: { role: 'admin' }
 * }
 */

Permission Guard

// src/app/core/guards/permission.guard.ts
import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, CanActivateFn, ActivatedRouteSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from '@core/services/auth.service';

/**

 */
export const permissionGuard: CanActivateFn = (route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) => {

  const router = inject(Router);

  const requiredPermissions = route.data['permissions'] as string[];

    console.warn('Permission guard used without required permissions');
    return true;
  }

  const hasAccess = requireAll
    ? authService.hasAllPermissions(requiredPermissions)
    : authService.hasAnyPermission(requiredPermissions);

  if (hasAccess) {
    return true;
  }

  return router.createUrlTree(['/exception/403']);
};

/**

 *   canActivate: [authGuard, permissionGuard],
 *   data: { 
 *     permissions: ['read:tasks'], 
 *     requireAll: true

 * }
 */

Login Component

// src/app/routes/passport/login/login.component.ts
import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { AuthService } from '@core/services/auth.service';
import { SHARED_IMPORTS } from '@shared';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-login',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [SHARED_IMPORTS],
  template: `
    <div class="login-container">
      <nz-card>
        <h2>Login</h2>
        <form nz-form [formGroup]="loginForm" (ngSubmit)="handleLogin()">
          <nz-form-item>
            <nz-form-control nzErrorTip="Please input your email!">
              <nz-input-group nzPrefixIcon="mail">
                <input 
                  nz-input 
                  formControlName="email" 
                  placeholder="Email"
                  type="email"
                />
              </nz-input-group>
            </nz-form-control>
          </nz-form-item>

          <nz-form-item>
            <nz-form-control nzErrorTip="Please input your password!">
              <nz-input-group nzPrefixIcon="lock">
                <input 
                  nz-input 
                  formControlName="password" 
                  placeholder="Password"
                  type="password"
                />
              </nz-input-group>
            </nz-form-control>
          </nz-form-item>

          @if (error()) {
            <nz-alert 
              nzType="error" 
              [nzMessage]="error()!" 
              nzShowIcon 
            />
          }

          <button 
            nz-button 
            nzType="primary" 
            nzBlock 
            [nzLoading]="loading()"
            [disabled]="loginForm.invalid"
          >
            Login
          </button>
        </form>
      </nz-card>
    </div>
  `
})
export class LoginComponent {
  private fb = inject(FormBuilder);
  private authService = inject(AuthService);

  loading = signal(false);
  error = signal<string | null>(null);

  loginForm: FormGroup = this.fb.group({
    email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
    password: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(6)]]
  });

  async handleLogin(): Promise<void> {
    if (this.loginForm.invalid) return;

    this.loading.set(true);
    this.error.set(null);

    try {
      const { email, password } = this.loginForm.value;
      await this.authService.login(email, password);
    } catch (err) {
      this.error.set(err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Login failed');
    } finally {
      this.loading.set(false);
    }
  }
}

HTTP Interceptor (Auto Token Injection)

@delon/auth automatically provides an interceptor when configured. No manual implementation needed!

// Automatic token injection in all HTTP requests
// Configured in app.config.ts with provideDelonAuth()

// Example HTTP call - token automatically added
this.http.get('/api/tasks').subscribe(tasks => {
  // Authorization: Bearer {token} header automatically added
});

Component-Level Permission Check

import { Component, inject, computed } from '@angular/core';
import { AuthService } from '@core/services/auth.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-task-list',
  template: `
    @if (canCreate()) {
      <button nz-button nzType="primary" (click)="createTask()">
        Create Task
      </button>
    }

    @if (canEdit()) {
      <button nz-button (click)="editTask()">Edit</button>
    }

    @if (canDelete()) {
      <button nz-button nzDanger (click)="deleteTask()">Delete</button>
    }
  `
})
export class TaskListComponent {
  private authService = inject(AuthService);

  canCreate = computed(() => this.authService.hasPermission('create:tasks'));
  canEdit = computed(() => this.authService.hasPermission('edit:tasks'));
  canDelete = computed(() => this.authService.hasPermission('delete:tasks'));
}

Integration with @delon/acl

// src/app/app.config.ts
import { provideDelonACL } from '@delon/acl';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideDelonACL()
  ]
};

// Sync permissions to ACL
import { ACLService } from '@delon/acl';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class AuthService {
  private aclService = inject(ACLService);

  private syncPermissionsToACL(permissions: string[], role: string): void {
    this.aclService.setRole([role]);
    this.aclService.setAbility(permissions);
  }
}

Routes Configuration

// src/app/routes/routes.ts
import { Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { authGuard } from '@core/guards/auth.guard';
import { roleGuard } from '@core/guards/role.guard';
import { permissionGuard } from '@core/guards/permission.guard';

export const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    canActivate: [authGuard],
    children: [
      {
        path: 'dashboard',
        loadComponent: () => import('./dashboard/dashboard.component')
      },
      {
        path: 'admin',
        canActivate: [roleGuard],
        data: { role: 'admin' },
        loadComponent: () => import('./admin/admin.component')
      },
      {
        path: 'tasks',
        canActivate: [permissionGuard],
        data: { 
          permissions: ['read:tasks'],
          requireAll: true
        },
        loadComponent: () => import('./tasks/task-list.component')
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    path: 'passport',
    children: [
      {
        path: 'login',
        loadComponent: () => import('./passport/login/login.component')
      }
    ]
  }
];

Checklist

When implementing authentication:

• [ ] Configure @delon/auth in app.config.ts
• [ ] Create AuthService with token management
• [ ] Implement login/logout methods
• [ ] Set up token refresh mechanism
• [ ] Create auth guard for protected routes
• [ ] Create role/permission guards as needed
• [ ] Integrate with Firebase Auth
• [ ] Sync permissions with @delon/acl
• [ ] Handle token expiration
• [ ] Test authentication flow
• [ ] Test authorization checks
• [ ] Handle error states (invalid credentials, network errors)
