api_guard VS rodauth-rails

I built a Rails authenticated API for my react native app using api_guard (https://github.com/Gokul595/api_guard) and it works great. I evaluated a lot of different solutions (knock, devise, jwt_sessions, etc.) and api_guard has the best features out of the box for JWT and easy to set up. If you are thinking about option 2, look into api_guard.

https://github.com/Gokul595/api_guard is a nice little gem for API auth using JWTs. Most of it is honestly not that hard to implement yourself though

In this article, I would like to show how to set each of these up in a Rails app that uses rodauth-rails. I'll be using Safari on macOS Ventura, and have iCloud Keychain sync enabled, which is a requirement for Apple passkeys.

Once I felt things were functioning well enough, I extracted the glue code into the rodauth-rails gem and added tests. I also included an install generator, which created the initial skeleton with sensible default configuration. A new Roda superclass provided a convenience configure method for loading the Rodauth plugin together with the rails feature.

FWIW I'm using rodauth and I like it: https://github.com/janko/rodauth-rails

My question is pretty much in the title. Is it possible to do Omniauth in a Rails API Only app? I've been looking into devise-token-auth and rodauth-rails. rodauth-rails has a tutorial for Omniauth (https://github.com/janko/rodauth-rails/wiki/OmniAuth), but it is using a Rails monolith.

I didn't create it, it was created by Jeremy Evans, I just contribute to it occasionally ;). I created the Rails integration, because I wanted to bring it into the Rails ecosystem, and I recently started recording screencasts. So I'm biased in that sense :)

$/myapp> bundle info rodauth-rails * rodauth-rails (0.18.1) Summary: Provides Rails integration for Rodauth. Homepage: https://github.com/janko/rodauth-rails Path: /Users/shino/.rbenv/versions/3.0.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/rodauth-rails-0.18.1

I don't know if you've seen, but I wrote a guide that shows an integration, which you can use for now. This is also what the official demo Rails app uses.
