Serverpod Auth

Serverpod Authentication

Serverpod has authentication built in. Projects created with serverpod create have it enabled by default (unless --no-auth, or the project has no database), pre-configured with email and already wired up in lib/server.dart and in the Flutter app.

In server application code, import package:serverpod_auth_idp_server/core.dart and package:serverpod_auth_idp_server/providers/<provider>.dart. Do NOT import package:serverpod_auth_idp_server/serverpod_auth_idp_server.dart — that library exists for the code generator.

Server-side

Require the user to be signed in or have a specific scope

class MyEndpoint extends Endpoint {
  // Require the user to be signed in to access methods in this endpoint.
  @override
  bool get requireLogin => true;

  // Require the user to have the admin scope.
  @override
  Set<Scope> get requiredScopes => {Scope.admin};

  // This method can only be accessed if the user is admin.
  Future<void> myMethod(Session session) async {
    ...
  }
  ...
}

User id and info

import 'package:serverpod_auth_idp_server/core.dart';

// Get authenticated user's ID.
final userIdUuidValue = session.authenticated?.authUserId;

// Get the user profile (full name, email, etc)
var userProfile = await session.authenticated?.userProfile(session);

// Find a user profile by email.
final profiles = await AuthServices.instance.userProfiles.admin
    .listUserProfiles(
      session,
      email: email.toLowerCase(),
      limit: 1,
    );
final userProfile = profiles.firstOrNull;

// Get authentication info for user id (for editing scopes, etc).
final authUsers = AuthServices.instance.authUsers;
final authUser = await authUsers.get(
  session,
  authUserId: userProfile.authUserId,
);

Flutter app

Use SignInWidget to sign the user in. It provides its own Material surface, so it also renders correctly when mixed with non-Material design systems:

SignInWidget(
  client: client,
  onAuthenticated: () => _showSnackBar(message: 'User authenticated.'),
  onError: (error) => _showSnackBar(message: 'Authentication failed: $error'),
)

• Signed-in state: client.auth.isAuthenticated. Rebuild on changes by listening to client.auth.authInfoListenable (a ValueListenable<AuthSuccess?>, so ValueListenableBuilder works too), and remove the listener in dispose.
• Sign out: client.auth.signOutAllDevices() or client.auth.signOutDevice().
• User profile (email, full name, etc): await client.modules.serverpod_auth_core.userProfileInfo.get().
