Guardian - exclude routes from needing authentication


Currently I have setup Guardian authentication with the following configuration:

pipeline :api do
  plug :accepts, ["json"]
  plug MyApp.AuthAccessPipeline
end
defmodule MyApp.AuthAccessPipeline do
  use Guardian.Plug.Pipeline, otp_app: :my_app

  plug Guardian.Plug.VerifySession, claims: %{"typ" => "access"}
  plug Guardian.Plug.VerifyHeader, claims: %{"typ" => "access"}
  plug Guardian.Plug.EnsureAuthenticated
  plug Guardian.Plug.LoadResource, allow_blank: true
end

My routes are setup like this:

scope "/api/v1", MyAppWeb do
    pipe_through :api

  resources "/users", UserController, except: [:new, :edit]

  post "/auth/sign_up", UserController, :sign_up
  post "/auth/sign_in", UserController, :sign_in
  post "/auth/forgot_password", UserController, :forgot_password
end

How I do set this pipeline so the /auth/* routes can be accessed without authentication?


Solution

  • I was able to solve this issue by setting up my routes like this:

    pipeline :anonymous do
      plug :accepts, ["json"]
    end
    
    pipeline :protected do
      plug :accepts, ["json"]
      plug MyApp.AuthAccessPipeline
    end
    
    scope "/api/v1/auth", MyAppWeb do
      pipe_through :anonymous
    
      post "/sign_up", UserController, :sign_up
      post "/sign_in", UserController, :sign_in
      post "/forgot_password", UserController, :forgot_password
    end
    
    scope "/api/v1", MyAppWeb do
      pipe_through :protected
    
      resources "/users", UserController, except: [:new, :edit]
    end
