Rask.Auth.Api 0.21.1-alpha.0.87

Rask.Auth.Api

Accounts as JSON endpoints, for an ASP.NET Core app that renders no Rask components — a TypeScript SPA host, a meta-framework host, or a plain ASP.NET app where the front end owns the UI.

Register, sign in, sign out, /me, email confirmation and password reset, all at /api/auth, backed by ASP.NET Core Identity (versioned password hashing, lockout, security stamps, token providers). The first account to register becomes the administrator.

builder.Services.AddRaskAuth<AppDbContext>();
builder.Services.AddAuthorization();

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapRaskAuth();          // POST /register, /login, /logout — GET /me — plus the recovery flows

Map the tables in OnModelCreating and create the schema:

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder) => modelBuilder.AddRaskAuth();

rask db add AddAuth && rask db update

Declare the account type once, anywhere in the app — the generator finds it, and adding a column is adding a property:

public class User : IdentityUser
{
}

Which package

Reference one of the first two, never both: Rask.Auth already contains this package.

Why it is separate

Rask.Core — the renderer — is not a package of its own. It travels inside the host packages that render components (Rask.Server, Rask.Wasm), so a host that renders nothing ships no copy of it. A battery that needed Core could therefore not run on Rask.Spa.Hosting or Rask.Meta.Hosting at all: the assembly is simply absent and the app aborts before Main.

This package is the accounts battery with that dependency removed. It talks to the wire contract in Rask.Wire — the /api/auth paths, the request and response shapes, AuthResult — which the browser-side Rask.Auth.Client also takes, so both halves agree without either one carrying the renderer.

Bearer tokens

Cookies are the default and the right answer for anything running in a page. A non-browser caller opts in:

builder.Services.AddRaskAuth<AppDbContext>(o => o.Bearer = new BearerOptions { SigningKey = key });

Then send X-Rask-Auth-Mode: bearer alongside X-Rask-Auth and a sign-in answers with a token in the body — never a cookie, never a header, so nothing stores it on the caller's behalf.

Email

Confirmation and reset links go out through the app's own mail queue (Rask.Mail), so they survive a restart between "the account exists" and "the email went out". An app with no mail battery is told it cannot send a reset link rather than silently queueing one nowhere.
