CustomAuth login with torus to get user private key
npm install customauth-singularity
!npm
> Web3Auth is where passwordless auth meets non-custodial key infrastructure for Web3 apps and wallets. By aggregating OAuth (Google, Twitter, Discord) logins, different wallets and innovative Multi Party Computation (MPC) - Web3Auth provides a seamless login experience to every user on your application.
This repo allows web applications to directly retrieve keys stored on the Torus Network. The attestation layer for the Torus Network is generalizable, below is an example of how to access keys via the SDK via Google.

- Typescript compatible. Includes Type definitions
- All API's return Promises
This module is distributed in 4 formats
- esm build dist/customauth.esm.js in es6 format
- commonjs build dist/customauth.cjs.js in es5 format
- commonjs build dist/customauth-bundled.cjs.js in es5 format with problematic packages bundled (benfits non-webpack users)
- umd build dist/customauth.umd.min.js in es5 format without polyfilling corejs minified
By default, the appropriate format is used for your specified usecase
You can use a different format (if you know what you're doing) by referencing the correct file
The cjs build is not polyfilled with core-js.
It is upto the user to polyfill based on the browserlist they target
CDN's serve the non-core-js polyfilled version by default. You can use a different
jsdeliver
``js`
unpkg
`js`
This is a plugin that works only on the client side. So please register it as a ssr-free plugin.

Add @toruslabs/customauth to your project:
To allow your web app to retrieve keys:
Install the package
npm i @toruslabs/customauth
or
CustomAuth Sdk supports two modes of login (uxMode: "popup" and uxMode: "redirect") (default: popup)
#### Popup Flow:
1. Serve service worker from baseUrl where baseUrl is the one passed while instantiating CustomAuth for specific login (example http://localhost:3000/serviceworker/). If you're already using a sw, pls ensure to port over the fetch override from our service worker
2. For browsers where service workers are not supported or if you wish to not use service workers, create and serve redirect page from baseUrl/redirect where baseUrl is the one passed while instantiating CustomAuth for specific login ( example http://localhost:3000/serviceworker/)
3. At verifier's interface (where you obtain client id), please use baseUrl/redirect (eg: http://localhost:3000/serviceworker/redirect) as the redirect_uri where baseUrl is the one passed while instantiating CustomAuth
4. Instantiate the package
`js`
const torus = new CustomAuth({
baseUrl: "http://localhost:3000/serviceworker/",
network: "testnet", // details for test net
});
await torus.init();
5. Trigger the login with your own client id (This opens a popup of OAuth provider page)
`js`
const loginDetails = await torus.triggerLogin({
typeOfLogin: "google",
verifier: "YOUR VERIFER DEPLOYED BY TORUS",
clientId: "MY CLIENT ID GOOGLE",
});
Note: If you're using redirectToOpener, modify the origin of postMessage from "http://localhost:3000" to your hosted domain in redirect.html and sw.js
#### Redirect flow
1. At verifier's interface (where you obtain client id), please use baseUrl/auth (eg: http://localhost:3000/auth) as the redirect_uri where baseUrl is the one passed while instantiating CustomAuth
2. Instantiate the package
`js`
const torus = new CustomAuth({
baseUrl: "http://localhost:3000/serviceworker/",
redirectPathName: "auth",
network: "testnet", // details for test net
uxMode: "redirect",
});
await torus.init({ skipSw: true });
3. Trigger the login with your client id. (This redirects the user to OAuth provider page)
`js`
await torus.triggerLogin({
typeOfLogin: "google",
verifier: "YOUR VERIFER DEPLOYED BY TORUS",
clientId: "MY CLIENT ID GOOGLE",
});
4. The OAuth login completes and the OAuth provider will redirect you to baseUrl/auth with hashParams
In this page, use the following code to get the login details
`js`
const torus = new CustomAuth({
baseUrl: location.origin,
redirectPathName: "auth",
uxMode: "redirect",
network: "testnet",
});
const loginDetails = await torus.getRedirectResult();
5. Once you get the login details, you can choose to take the user anywhere else in your app
Please refer to examples
- vue for popup flow
- vue for redirect flow
- react for popup flow
- nextjs for popup flow
- nextjs for redirect flow
- angular for popup flow
- angular for redirect flow
- gatsby for configuration
- firebase for for Firebase setup
Hosted Example for testing
The following links help you create OAuth accounts with different login providers
- Google
- Facebook
- Reddit
- Twitch
- Discord
For other verifiers,
- you'll need to create an Auth0 account
- create an application for the login type you want
- Pass in the clientId, domain of the Auth0 application into the torus login request
- Due to browser restrictions on popups, you should reduce the time taken between user interaction and the login popups being opened. This is highly browser dependent, but the best practice for this is to separate the initialization of the SDK and the user login method calls.
1. Question: My Redirect page is stuck in iOS Chrome
Answer:
iOS Chrome doesn't support service workers. So, you need to serve a fallback html page redirect.html
Please check if redirect.html is being served correctly by navigating to . It should show a loader
For nginx, here is a simple server configuration
`nginx
location ~* (/serviceworker/redirect) {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src https:; script-src https: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src https: 'unsafe-inline';";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload";
default_type "text/html";
alias PATH_TO_REDIRECT_HTML_FILE;
autoindex off;
}
`
Alternatively, you can configure your redirect url to include redirect.html by passing in an option redirectPathName: 'redirect.html' while instantiating the sdk.
Please remember to change the oauth redirect url to reflect this change
2. Question: Discord Login only works once in 30 min
Answer:
Torus Login requires a new token for every login attempt. Discord returns the same access token for 30 min unless it's revoked. Unfortunately, it needs to be revoked from the backend since it needs a client secret. Here's some sample code which does it
`js
const axios = require("axios").default;
const FormData = require("form-data");
const { DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET, DISCORD_CLIENT_ID } = process.env;
const { token } = req.body;
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("token", token);
await axios.post("https://discord.com/api/oauth2/token/revoke", formData, {
headers: {
...formData.getHeaders(),
Authorization: Basic ${Buffer.from(${DISCORD_CLIENT_ID}:${DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET}, "binary").toString("base64")},`
},
});
3. Question: How to initialise web3 with private key (returned after login) ?
Answer:
One can use privateKeyToAccount method to initialise web3 with a privatekey. If you are supplying a hexadecimal number, it must have 0x prefix in order to be in line with other Ethereum libraries.
`js`
web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount(PRIVATE_KEY);
- This package requires a peer dependency of @babel/runtime
- Node 14+
> Note: If you are using the redirectToOpener` option, you _must_ update your redirect.html to allow whitelisted URIs
