AuthenticationMethod

@vendure/core Source

An AuthenticationMethod represents the means by which a User is authenticated. There are two kinds: NativeAuthenticationMethod and ExternalAuthenticationMethod.

Signature

class AuthenticationMethod extends VendureEntity {    @Index()    @ManyToOne(type => User, user => user.authenticationMethods)    user: User;}

Extends: VendureEntity

This method is used when an external authentication service is used to authenticate Vendure Users. Examples of external auth include social logins or corporate identity servers.

Signature

class ExternalAuthenticationMethod extends AuthenticationMethod {    constructor(input: DeepPartial<ExternalAuthenticationMethod>)    @Column()    strategy: string;    @Column()    externalIdentifier: string;    @Column('simple-json')    metadata: any;}

This is the default, built-in authentication method which uses a identifier (typically username or email address) and password combination to authenticate a User.

Signature

class NativeAuthenticationMethod extends AuthenticationMethod {    constructor(input?: DeepPartial<NativeAuthenticationMethod>)    @Column()    identifier: string;    @Column({ select: false }) passwordHash: string;    @Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: true })    verificationToken: string | null;    @Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: true })    passwordResetToken: string | null;    @Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: true })    identifierChangeToken: string | null;    @Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: true })    pendingIdentifier: string | null;}

propertystring

verificationToken

propertystring | null

passwordResetToken

propertystring | null

identifierChangeToken

propertystring | null

A token issued when a User requests to change their identifier (typically an email address)
