Enabling Sign-in With Social Identity Providers Like Facebook or Google

Introduction

In this solution, we will enable sign-in with social identity providers like Facebook and Google using Pulumi in TypeScript. This involves setting up an authentication service that integrates with these social identity providers, allowing users to sign in using their existing social media accounts. The key services involved in this solution are AWS Cognito for managing user authentication and Pulumi for infrastructure as code.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set Up AWS Cognito User Pool

We will create an AWS Cognito User Pool to manage user authentication. This user pool will be configured to allow sign-in with social identity providers like Facebook and Google.

Step 2: Configure Identity Providers

Next, we will configure the identity providers (Facebook and Google) in the AWS Cognito User Pool. This involves setting up the necessary credentials and permissions for these providers.

Step 3: Create Pulumi Program

We will create a Pulumi program in TypeScript to automate the creation and configuration of the AWS Cognito User Pool and the identity providers. This program will use the Pulumi AWS SDK to interact with AWS services.

Step 4: Deploy the Pulumi Program

Finally, we will deploy the Pulumi program to create the AWS Cognito User Pool and configure the identity providers. This will enable sign-in with social identity providers for our application.

Key Points

• AWS Cognito User Pool is used to manage user authentication.
• Identity providers like Facebook and Google need to be configured with the necessary credentials and permissions.
• Pulumi is used to automate the creation and configuration of the AWS Cognito User Pool and identity providers.
• The Pulumi program is written in TypeScript and uses the Pulumi AWS SDK.

Conclusion

By following this solution, you can enable sign-in with social identity providers like Facebook and Google for your application using Pulumi in TypeScript. This approach leverages AWS Cognito for managing user authentication and Pulumi for infrastructure as code, providing a scalable and automated solution for integrating social identity providers.

Full Code Example

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create a Cognito User Pool
const userPool = new aws.cognito.UserPool("userPool", {
    name: "my-user-pool",
    autoVerifiedAttributes: ["email"],
    aliasAttributes: ["email"],
});

// Create a Cognito User Pool Client
const userPoolClient = new aws.cognito.UserPoolClient("userPoolClient", {
    userPoolId: userPool.id,
    generateSecret: false,
    allowedOauthFlows: ["code"],
    allowedOauthScopes: ["email", "openid"],
    supportedIdentityProviders: ["COGNITO", "Facebook", "Google"],
    callbackUrls: ["https://example.com/callback"],
    logoutUrls: ["https://example.com/logout"],
});

// Create a Facebook Identity Provider
const facebookProvider = new aws.cognito.IdentityProvider("facebookProvider", {
    userPoolId: userPool.id,
    providerName: "Facebook",
    providerType: "Facebook",
    providerDetails: {
        client_id: "your-facebook-app-id",
        client_secret: "your-facebook-app-secret",
        authorize_scopes: "email,public_profile",
    },
    attributeMapping: {
        email: "email",
        username: "id",
    },
});

// Create a Google Identity Provider
const googleProvider = new aws.cognito.IdentityProvider("googleProvider", {
    userPoolId: userPool.id,
    providerName: "Google",
    providerType: "Google",
    providerDetails: {
        client_id: "your-google-client-id",
        client_secret: "your-google-client-secret",
        authorize_scopes: "openid email profile",
    },
    attributeMapping: {
        email: "email",
        username: "sub",
    },
});

export const userPoolId = userPool.id;
export const facebookProviderName = facebookProvider.providerName;
export const googleProviderName = googleProvider.providerName;
export const userPoolClientId = userPoolClient.id;
