@simonhaenisch/koa-shopify-auth

Middleware to authenticate a Koa application with Shopify.

Same as @shopify/koa-shopify-auth but with some fixes and improvements so that it kind of works. Sadly it seems the Shopify team doesn't care much about community contributions, often not even leaving a comment (see #791, #1099, #1148, #1359 or #1407). They also don't seem to follow semver so well (see #1498 (comment)).

Important: the verifyToken cookie fix requires a secure context for the cookies to work (see https://github.com/pillarjs/cookies#secure-cookies), which means that you'll have to set koa.proxy = true (see koa docs); that will make koa trust proxy-related headers, which is needed so that koa makes the context secure for requests to relative paths like /api/auth. For development you'll have to use a tool like cloudflared or ngrok to proxy a secure connection to http://localhost.

Fixes:

  • prefix works for all routes (08f2c56)
  • verifyToken properly redirects to auth if the token has expired (43b51a6)
  • prevent xss attacks through shop query param everywhere (bb860f0)
  • verifyToken also sets same-site cookie options for Chrome (5079bee)
  • stop the "enable cookies" page from flashing when it auto-redirects (39af5ba)
  • stop StorageAccessHelper from prematurely redirecting to the appTargetUrl instead of authentication (b311479)

Features:

  • new appTargetUrl option and join paths more safely (43aee2f)

Installation

$ npm install @simonhaenisch/koa-shopify-auth

Usage

This package exposes shopifyAuth by default, and verifyRequest as a named export.

import shopifyAuth, {verifyRequest} from '@shopify/koa-shopify-auth';

shopifyAuth

Returns an authentication middleware taking up (by default) the routes /auth and /auth/callback.

app.use(
  shopifyAuth({
    // if specified, mounts the routes off of the given path
    // eg. /shopify/auth, /shopify/auth/callback
    // defaults to ''
    prefix: '/shopify',
    // your shopify app api key
    apiKey: SHOPIFY_API_KEY,
    // your shopify app secret
    secret: SHOPIFY_SECRET,
    // scopes to request on the merchants store
    scopes: ['write_orders, write_products'],
    // set access mode, default is 'online'
    accessMode: 'offline',
    // callback for when auth is completed
    afterAuth(ctx) {
      const {shop, accessToken} = ctx.session;

      console.log('We did it!', accessToken);

      ctx.redirect('/');
    },
  }),
);

/auth

This route starts the oauth process. It expects a ?shop parameter and will error out if one is not present. To install it in a store just go to /auth?shop=myStoreSubdomain.

/auth/callback

You should never have to manually go here. This route is purely for shopify to send data back during the oauth process.

verifyRequest

Returns a middleware to verify requests before letting them further in the chain.

app.use(
  verifyRequest({
    // path to redirect to if verification fails
    // defaults to '/auth'
    authRoute: '/foo/auth',
    // path to redirect to if verification fails and there is no shop on the query
    // defaults to '/auth'
    fallbackRoute: '/install',
  }),
);

Example app

import 'isomorphic-fetch';

import Koa from 'koa';
import session from 'koa-session';
import shopifyAuth, {verifyRequest} from '@shopify/koa-shopify-auth';

const {SHOPIFY_API_KEY, SHOPIFY_SECRET} = process.env;

const app = new Koa();
app.keys = [SHOPIFY_SECRET];

app
  // sets up secure session data on each request
  .use(session({ secure: true, sameSite: 'none' }, app))

  // sets up shopify auth
  .use(
    shopifyAuth({
      apiKey: SHOPIFY_API_KEY,
      secret: SHOPIFY_SECRET,
      scopes: ['write_orders, write_products'],
      afterAuth(ctx) {
        const {shop, accessToken} = ctx.session;

        console.log('We did it!', accessToken);

        ctx.redirect('/');
      },
    }),
  )

  // everything after this point will require authentication
  .use(verifyRequest())

  // application code
  .use(ctx => {
    ctx.body = '🎉';
  });

Gotchas

Fetch

This app uses fetch to make requests against shopify, and expects you to have it polyfilled. The example app code above includes a call to import it.

Session

Though you can use shopifyAuth without a session middleware configured, verifyRequest expects you to have one. If you don't want to use one and have some other solution to persist your credentials, you'll need to build your own verifiction function.

Testing locally

By default this app requires that you use a myshopify.com host in the shop parameter. You can modify this to test against a local/staging environment via the myShopifyDomain option to shopifyAuth (e.g. myshopify.io).
