Types

type Authenticator

type Authenticator struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Authenticator is an authenticator used in local development. In local development, we decode the JWT provided by the user. In production, we use AWS API Gateway to do this.

func New

func New(ctx context.Context, opts Opts) (*Authenticator, error)

New creates a new Authenticator.

func (*Authenticator) Authenticate

func (a *Authenticator) Authenticate(r *http.Request) (*auth.Claims, error)

Authenticate is used in development to get a user from a HWT identity token. In local development we parse the JWT provided by the user.

type Opts

type Opts struct {
	CognitoRegion string
	UserPoolID    string
}
