Laravel Cognito Guard

Laravel authentication guard to validate JSON Web Tokens (JWT) issued by an AWS Cognito User Pool

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require graphene-ict/laravel-cognito-guard

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="GrapheneICT\CognitoGuard\Services\CognitoAuthServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
     * If persist_user_data is true the cognito guard will automatically create a new user
     * record anytime the user contained in a validated JWT
     * does not already exist in the users table.
     *
     * The new user will be created with the user attributes name, email, provider and provider_id so
     * it is required for you to add them at the list of fillable attributes in the model array, if you
     * wish to add more attributes from the cognito modify before it is saved or use the events.
     *
     */
    'persist_user_data' => true,

    'models' => [
        /*
         * When using this package, we need to know which
         * Eloquent model should be used for your user. Of course, it
         * is often just the "User" model but you may use whatever you like.
         *
         */
        'user' => [
            'model' => App\Models\User::class,
        ],
    ],
];

Since persist_user_data is true by default user will be automatically saved with the following attributes: name, email, provider and provider_id so adding them in the list of fillables is a must. If you wish to extend with more attributes using the class CognitoService modify the data before it is saved or use the events.

   $cognitoService = new CognitoService();
   $attributes = $cognitoService->getCognitoUserAttributes($token);

Usage

In configauth create additional guard with the coginto driver

   'api' => [
            'driver' => 'cognito',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

After that just apply it to the Authentication Defaults as option for authentication shown bellow

    'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'api',
        'passwords' => 'users',
    ],
