# Client Auth
Sign-in for SPAs and mobile apps: JSON session endpoints and Google and Apple OAuth, all issuing core auth sessions.
Use when a customer-facing SPA or mobile app needs login, signup, refresh and password reset against the same users as the app.

# @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-client-auth

Authentication for *external clients* of an [Open Mercato](https://github.com/open-mercato/open-mercato)
application — SPAs, mobile apps, and other first-party clients that are not
the `/backend` staff console. It provides JSON session endpoints, Google and
Apple OAuth, and a pluggable verifier/store architecture, all issuing regular
core-auth platform sessions (the same JWT + refresh-token pair as core login),
so signed-in clients look identical to the rest of the system regardless of
how they signed in.

## Status

**v0.2 — JSON session endpoints.** The full SPEC-055 §D contract — `login`,
`session` (whoami), `refresh`, `logout`, `signup`,
`password-reset/{request,confirm}` — is implemented under `/api/client_auth/*`
over core `AuthService`, alongside the v0.1 Google/Apple OAuth port, the
`issueSession()` seam, cookie/body transports, and the core-auth user store.

**Next:** the `better-auth` verifier engine (feature-gated; drawn from real
product need — OTP / passkeys / device flow) and an integration-test harness
(ephemeral host app in CI) are planned but not yet part of this repo — unit
tests cover the verifier/store/transport logic.

## Install

```bash
npm install @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-client-auth
# peer deps: @open-mercato/core, @open-mercato/shared, @mikro-orm/* (v7), next, zod
```

Register the module in your app's `src/modules.ts`:

```ts
const modules = [
  // ...core modules...
  { id: 'client_auth', from: '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-client-auth' },
]
```

The package ships the compiled module tree at `dist/modules/client_auth/`,
which is where the Open Mercato CLI resolves package-backed modules from.
Then run `yarn generate` (or `mercato generate`) and apply migrations.

## Endpoints

### Session (email/password)

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `POST /api/client_auth/login` | `{ email, password }` → verifies credentials, issues a session. Responds `{ ok, token, refreshToken, expiresAt, user }` **and** sets cookies. |
| `GET /api/client_auth/session` | Whoami. Reads the cookie or bearer token → `{ user, expiresAt }`; `401` when unauthenticated. |
| `POST /api/client_auth/refresh` | `session_token` cookie or `{ refreshToken }` → a fresh access JWT (`{ ok, token, expiresAt, user }` + cookie), reusing the same refresh token. `401` (+ cleared cookies) when the refresh token is invalid/expired. |
| `POST /api/client_auth/logout` | Revokes the session row (from the `session_token` cookie or `{ refreshToken }`) and clears cookies. |
| `POST /api/client_auth/signup` | `{ email, password, name? }` → creates a confirmed user in the default tenant with the base role, then issues a session (`201`). `409` when the email is taken; `403` when signup is disabled. |
| `POST /api/client_auth/password-reset/request` | `{ email, redirectTo? }` → **always** `{ ok: true }` (anti-enumeration). When the email exists, emits `client_auth.password_reset.requested` carrying the reset token so the host sends the email. |
| `POST /api/client_auth/password-reset/confirm` | `{ token, newPassword }` → resets the password (core revokes all of the user's sessions). `400` on an invalid/expired token. |

`expiresAt` is the **access-token** (8h) expiry — what clients use to schedule
a preemptive refresh; the refresh token lives `REFRESH_TOKEN_DAYS` (30d).

> **Password-reset email is the host's job.** The package creates the core
> `PasswordReset` token and emits `client_auth.password_reset.requested`
> (`{ userId, email, token, redirectTo, tenantId }`). Subscribe to it and send
> the email via your notifications stack with a link to your frontend's
> reset-password screen. The package intentionally owns no email templates.

### OAuth (Google / Apple)

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `POST /api/client_auth/oauth/google/init` | Start Google sign-in (returns the authorization URL). Body: `{ platform: 'web'\|'mobile', redirect? }` |
