node-oidc-provider VS Koa

I don't have a direct answer for your questions but do suggest the canonical OAuth 2.0 implementation may be helpful for your learning too. LMK your thoughts. ➔ https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

I could recommend https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider supports most of the oidc/oauth 2 rabbit hole specs.

This library forms the basis of a number of OIDC providers we, err, provide to our users.

You can also easily setup an OIDC server in Node using a certified OIDC lib like oidc-provider.

If it's nodejs auth servers you're after, look no further than here. Use it as-is, or as a library to build your own richer app.

You can take a look on node-oidc-provider

I am a little confused on how to implement an Auth server in node.js. There are plenty of libs that seem to do just that (ex: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider) and then there's passport, which seems to be a full-fledged authentication framework? Will it serve my purpose or would it be overkill and I should just stick with simple libs like the one I mentionned. I can't seem to understand the difference between the two. Can someone explain?

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | NodeJS Dev with OpenID Connect experience

Looking for a NodeJS developer with OpenID / OAuth 2.0 experience to help with upgrading an OpenID Connect implementation. Specifically, the OpenID service depends on v6 of this library: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

We would like a review of our current implementation, and help with finishing a mostly-completed upgrade to v7 before we onboard 3rd-parties to our authentication and authorization infrastructure. We estimate the contract length to be between 1 - 2 months, part-time. To apply, send your CV and hourly rate to [email protected]. Please be sure to highlight your experience with the relevant technologies and protocols.

Have you looked for other OIDC/OAuth2 packages. Here's one in Node. That seems very interesting. https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

I'm passing familiar with this area, but not as familiar as I should be...

How does this compare to something like this - https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

Are they addressing the same need? Is Ory looking to get certified in these area? (Is it already?)

Since "Express.js is an old framework that has not evolved for a long time. It's not a good choice for new projects since it can easily lead to security issues and memory leaks." -- H3. Which is also the case for Koa.

In this example, we're using the serverless framework to quickly set up the Lambda function along with an API gateway for the entry point. The lambda function is a simple Koa REST API with a few functional endpoints.

The initial step is to create our entry point, from where the page will be rendered. In this case, we will use the koa framework.

Koa.js: By the team behind Express, Koa.js utilized async/await for middleware, resulting in cleaner and more readable code.

Koa -Next Generation Node Microservice Framework

Backend is more tricky. - RESTful APIs I prefer Koajs - For a RPC/microsevice, I have only used gRPC - For a CLI, yargs and inquirer

There are lot of different frameworks out there. If you learn one, there is no guarantee that the next job you find will use the same. For example if you learn Express and the next one used Koa or Nest.

Koa.js is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application infrastruc­ture, which provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applica­tions. It is an open-source framework developed and maintained by the creators of Express.js, the most popular web framework for Node.js.
