Airbnb Full Stack Clone – Enrich Auth0 Token using Auth0 Actions

Auth0 is a popular authentication and authorization platform that provides security and user management functionalities. Auth0 Actions allow you to extend the behavior of Auth0’s core authentication workflow by adding custom code.

In this tutorial, we will be focusing on how to enrich the Auth0 token using Auth0 Actions in an Airbnb Full Stack Clone project. By enriching the token, we can add additional information or attributes to the token that can be used by the application for various purposes such as personalization, access control, or auditing.

Steps to Enrich Auth0 Token using Auth0 Actions:

  1. Create an Auth0 Action in your Auth0 dashboard.
  2. Write code in the Auth0 Action to enrich the token with the desired information.
  3. Test the Auth0 Action to ensure it is working correctly.
  4. Integrate the enriched token into your Airbnb Full Stack Clone project.

Example Code for Enriching the Auth0 Token:

“`javascript
// sample code to enrich Auth0 token with user’s role
module.exports = async (user, context, callback) => {
const namespace = ‘https://yourapp.com/’;

user.app_metadata = user.app_metadata || {};

if (user.email === ‘admin@example.com’) {
user.app_metadata.roles = [‘admin’];
} else {
user.app_metadata.roles = [‘user’];
}

auth0.users.updateAppMetadata(user.user_id, user.app_metadata)
.then(() => {
context.idToken[`${namespace}roles`] = user.app_metadata.roles;
callback(null, user, context);
})
.catch((err) => {
callback(err);
});
};
“`

By following these steps and using the provided code snippet, you can enrich the Auth0 token with custom information that can enhance the security and functionality of your Airbnb Full Stack Clone project. Enjoy building secure and personalized applications with Auth0 Actions!
