Documentation

keycloak-capacitor

This is an extended version of the existing keycloak.js Adapter. It's the same code, I try to keep it up-to-date. The version of keyloak and this package match. The only difference are 2 more adapters for capacitor. It's possible to provide custom adapters, but the original library implements a lot of private methods, which are not accessible with custom adapters. Therefore, duplicate implementations are required for custom adapters.

There is an open discussion about implementing the capacitor adapter in the original library here: keycloak/keycloak#10174

Original (v19.0.1) Implementation:

Official Documentation:

Extensions:

  • Added capacitor adapter
  • Added capacitor-native adapter

Adapter: capacitor-native

Adapter to use the system browser.

Prerequisites

  • Setup your iOS App to work with universal links (see official docs linked above)
  • Setup your Android App to work with deep links

The adapter will directly access Capacitors app api to listen to iOS (universal links) and Android deep links. Also the native browser will be opened for the login/logout/register and account management pages.

Usage

  1. Install package
npm i keycloak-capacitor
  1. Use it
public keycloak: Keycloak.KeycloakInstance;

constructor()
{

    this.keycloak = Keycloak({
        clientId: 'webapp',
        realm: 'master',
        url: 'http://localhost:8080/auth/'
    });
    this.keycloak.init({
        adapter: 'capacitor-native',
        responseMode: 'query',
        redirectUri: 'http://localhost:8100'
    });

    // Test if it works, when coming back from this.keycloak.login();
    this.keycloak.onAuthSuccess = () => {
        console.log('authenticated!');
    };

}
