Simple laravel package to work with aws-php-sdk and amazon cognito. Once installed it can generate api routes to work with cognito apis and generate and validate jwt tokens

Installation & Setup
------------------------

[](#installation--setup)

### Step 1

[](#step-1)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require iwouldrathercode/cognito
```

### Step 2

[](#step-2)

Run the setup command to install dependencies and link the storage folder to public folder

```
php artisan cognito:setup
```

### Step 3

[](#step-3)

Run the install command to publish the config files and migrations

```
php artisan cognito:install
```

### Step 4

[](#step-4)

Execute the migrations. This will update the users table and since passwords are no longer managed by laravel, this will also delete the password\_resets table

```
php artisan migrate
```

### Step 5

[](#step-5)

Update the config/auth.php with default guard as `api`

```
    ..
    ..

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

### Step 6

[](#step-6)

Update the config/auth.php, guards array with config of `api` using 'cognito' as driver

```
    ..
    ..
    'guards' => [
        ..
        ..

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

### Step 7

[](#step-7)

Ensure the env variables of the cognito UserPool and ClientID are at .env this will affect `congig/cognito.php` config file

```
AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID=
AWS_COGNITO_CLIENT_ID=
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This package will create /api routes to manage authentication

```
POST -> api/confirm-forgot-password -> confirm-forgot-password ›
Iwouldrathercode\Cognito\Http\Controllers\SelfServiceController@confirmForgotPassword

POST -> api/forgot-password -> forgot-password › Iwouldrathercode\Cognito\Http\Controllers\SelfServiceController@forgotPassword

POST -> api/login -> signin ›
Iwouldrathercode\Cognito\Http\Controllers\LoginController@login
