# Amur
Simple OAuth for Plug apps. Amur gives you a small OAuth callback flow and provider normalization layer. It is Plug-based and does not require Phoenix.
## Installation
Add `amur` to your dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:amur, "~> 0.2"}
]
end
```
## Setup
### 1. Configure your OAuth providers
```elixir
# config/runtime.exs
config :amur,
base_url: "http://localhost:4000",
providers: [
github: [
client_id: System.fetch_env!("GITHUB_CLIENT_ID"),
client_secret: System.fetch_env!("GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET")
]
],
on_success: &MyAppWeb.AuthController.on_success/2,
on_failure: &MyAppWeb.AuthController.on_failure/2
```
| Key | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `base_url` | no | Base URL used to build the `redirect_uri` (`#{base_url}/auth/:provider/callback`). Defaults to `""`. |
| `providers` | yes | Keyword list of provider configurations. Each key is a provider name, each value is either a keyword list of credentials or a custom provider module. |
| `on_success` | yes | A `{module, function, args}` MFA tuple or a function capture of arity 2, called with `(conn, normalized_user)`. |
| `on_failure` | no | Same format as `on_success`, called with `(conn, reason)`. Defaults to a redirect to `/`. |
### 2. Mount the router
```elixir
# Phoenix
scope "/auth", alias: false do
pipe_through :browser
forward "/", Amur.Router
end
```
The `alias: false` on the scope is required — without it Phoenix rewrites `Amur.Router` as `YourAppWeb.Amur.Router`.
Inside a browser pipeline, session and flash helpers are available for your callbacks.
Amur works with `Plug.Router` too:
```elixir
# Plug
forward "/auth", to: Amur.Router
```
The router exposes three endpoints:
| Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|
| `GET /auth/:provider` | Initiates the OAuth flow |
| `GET /auth/:provider/callback` | Handles the provider callback |
| `GET /auth/logout` | Clears Amur's stored session params |
### 3. Add an auth controller
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.AuthController do
import Plug.Conn
import Phoenix.Controller
def on_success(conn, user) do
conn
|> put_flash(:info, "Logged in as #{user.email}")
|> redirect(to: "/")
|> halt()
end
def on_failure(conn, reason) do
conn
|> put_flash(:error, "Authentication failed")
|> redirect(to: "/")
|> halt()
end
end
```
The normalized `user` map has the following shape:
```elixir
%{
provider: "github", # the provider atom as a string
uid: "12345", # provider-specific user ID
email: "user@example.com",
name: "username",
avatar: "https://..."
}
```
Different providers may return different fields. See each provider module's `normalize_user/1` for the exact shape.
### 4. (Optional) Clear the session on logout
```elixir
# In your own logout handler
Amur.logout(conn)
```
This deletes the `:amur_session_params` key from the session. The `GET /auth/logout` endpoint calls this automatically and redirects to `/`.
## Built-in providers
Amur ships with support for the following providers:
Apple, Auth0, Azure AD, Basecamp, Bitbucket, DigitalOcean, Discord, Facebook, GitHub, GitLab, Google, Hack Club, Instagram, LINE, LinkedIn, Slack, Spotify, Strava, Stripe, Telegram, Twitch, Twitter (X), VK, Zitadel
Each is a thin wrapper around the corresponding [Assent](https://github.com/pow-auth/assent) strategy.
## Custom providers
You can define your own provider module using the `Amur.Provider` behaviour:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Auth.CustomProvider do
use Amur.Provider
def strategy, do: Assent.Strategy.OAuth2
def base_config do
[
base_url: "https://api.example.com",
authorization_endpoint: "/oauth/authorize",
token_endpoint: "/oauth/token",
user_endpoint: "/user"
]
end
def normalize_user(user) do
%{uid: user["id"], email: user["email"], name: user["name"]}
end
end
```
Then reference it in your config:
```elixir
config :amur,
providers: [
my_provider: MyApp.Auth.CustomProvider
]
```
## Scopes
To request specific OAuth scopes, pass them in your provider config:
```elixir
config :amur,
providers: [
github: [
client_id: "..",
client_secret: "..",
scopes: "user:email,read:org"
]
]
```
