Create your own provider

In this guide we will cover the creation of custom providers.

Introduction

Let's say you want to create a connector to your company SSO.

Create a provider

In your extension folder create a new Class that will proceed connection trough your SSO

extensions/my-extension/server/SsoProvider.ts
import type {
Profile,
ExternalLoginProvider,
} from "@front-commerce/core/external-login";

class SSOCompanyProvider implements ExternalLoginProvider {
name = "sso-company";

loginRoute(callbackUrl: string): string {
return `https://sso.mycompany.com/login/oauth2?callback=${callbackUrl}`;
}

async parseProfileFromProviderCallback(
request: Request
): Promise<Profile | undefined> {
try {
const requestJson = await request.json();
return {
email: requestJson.profile.email,
firstname: requestJson.profile.firstname,
lastname: requestJson.profile.lastname,
};
} catch (e) {
return undefined;
}
}
}

Register your provider

Then you need to register your brand-new provider into the external service thanks to the onServerServicesInit hook

extensions/my-extension/index.ts
...
import SSOCompanyProvider from "./server/SsoProvider";

return defineExtension({
...
unstable_lifecycleHooks: {
onServerServicesInit(services, _, _) {
services.ExternalLogin.registerProvider(new SSOCompanyProvider());
}
}
})

Your provider is now registered, you can test it by running your server and going to http://localhost:4000/external-login/sso-company

You can now, in your Login form, add a link to your new external login provider, the link of your provider will be the one used before: /external-login/provider-name.

You can check the and/or use the SocialLogin component to get you started.
