authenticate method

@override Future<AngelAuthResult> authenticate({ String? type, dynamic credentials, String authEndpoint = '/auth', @deprecated String reviveEndpoint = '/auth/token', })

Authenticates against the server.

This is designed with package:angel_auth in mind.

The type is appended to the authEndpoint, ex. local becomes /auth/local.

The given credentials are sent to server as-is; the request body is sent as JSON.

Implementation

@override
Future<AngelAuthResult> authenticate(
    {String? type,
    credentials,
    String authEndpoint = '/auth',
    @deprecated String reviveEndpoint = '/auth/token'}) async {
  type ??= 'token';

  var segments = baseUrl.pathSegments
      .followedBy(_p.split(authEndpoint))
      .followedBy([type]);

  //var p1 = p.joinAll(segments).replaceAll('\\', '/');

  var url = baseUrl.replace(path: _p.joinAll(segments));
  http.Response response;

  if (credentials != null) {
    response = await post(url,
        body: json.encode(credentials), headers: _writeHeaders);
  } else {
    response = await post(url, headers: _writeHeaders);
  }

  if (_invalid(response)) {
    throw failure(response);
  }

  try {
    //var v = json.decode(response.body);
    _log.info(response.headers);

    var v = jsonDecode(response.body);

    if (v is! Map || !v.containsKey('data') || !v.containsKey('token')) {
      throw AngelHttpException.notAuthenticated(
          message: "Auth endpoint '$url' did not return a proper response.");
    }

    var r = AngelAuthResult.fromMap(v);
    _onAuthenticated.add(r);
    return r;
  } on AngelHttpException {
    rethrow;
  } catch (e, st) {
    _log.severe('Authentication failed');
    throw failure(response, error: e, stack: st);
  }
}
