Does Frontity handle WP Auth?

[juliomaradiaga1120]

Hey all,

I’d like to build something akin to a classified ads site, the idea to use wordpress would be to pair with woocommerce and the subscription & membership plugins.

Frontity looks really cool, but I haven´t really seen anything on Auth handling, which would be a must for my project as people would ideally be buying ads.

Regards.

Hi @juliomaradiaga1120

Can you provide a specific use case you need the require Auth for a request in a Frontity project?

Here you have some threads that may help you with this:

• How to implement basic authentication?
• Send authorization header
• Protected routes with Frontity
• JWT with Frontity

Well in my case just web apps in general, where each user has a account and potentially buys services that have to be tied to that account.

I would also love to have authentication and not only Email/Password, how about OAUTH with google, facebook and so on… this is a must have on every modern website, any chance we will see something in that direction?

Hi @zelamedia,

besides the resources related to implement basic authorization provided above, here you have a Feature Discussion about adding a very easy way of adding custom headers in the requests done from Frontity

Support for custom headers in Source packages

Description Source packages should be able to access custom headers that they must send when requesting data from the APIs. Examples The most obvious example is the Authorization header: Basic Auth: Authorization: Basic YWFhOmJiYg JWT Auth: Authorization: Bearer XXXXX.YYYYY.ZZZZZ Possible solution We could use state.source.headers for this. If a user needs to add headers for a specific site, they can do so in their frontity.settings.js file. If a package needs to set a header, they ca…

This FD may help a lot to Frontity developers to implement any kind of Auth strategies.

Feel free to join the conversation and add your feedback about this feature.

Just an additional piece of info: The feature linked by @juanma (Support for custom headers in source packages) is currently being worked on and will enable users to use e.g. Basic Auth to authenticate with the WordPress API.
