Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
JWT
-
Rails GraphQL authentication from scratch #2
To authenticate our users, we need to add jwt gem to our Gemfile
-
Secure Your Ruby App with JSON Web Tokens
jwt is a Ruby implementation of the RFC 7519 OAuth JSON Web Token standard. bcrypt is a Ruby binding for the OpenBSD bcrypt() password hashing algorithm.
-
Best way for user auth with a Rails API?
ruby-jwt is fairly easy to use on it's own without Devise. You might try that first and only add Devise if needed.
- JWT Ruby gem version 2.4.0-beta1 released
-
Dynamic JWT authentication and secrets rotation in Rails Applications
Generally speaking, the larger the application, the more internal and external services it has to talk to. External services usually have their own way of authenticating and authorizing third party API calls. With internal systems however, organisations prefer to use JWT tokens because of their inherent flexibility and versatility. A sample JWT based handshake between 2 rails applications using ruby-jwt would look like this -

Github: JayDoubleUti - A JWT authorization middleware for any web application!
Interesting. What's the difference between this and the standard ruby-jwt? https://github.com/jwt/ruby-jwt

Zitadel: The best of Auth0 and Keycloak combined
Disclosure: I work for FusionAuth.
Depends on what you are looking for.
If you want a standalone auth server, you can use FusionAuth in docker/docker-compose: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/installation-guide/docker
You can also package up a library; most major languages have one or more OAuth/OIDC libraries: https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper for Ruby, https://spring.io/projects/spring-security for Spring/Java, https://oauth2.thephpleague.com/ for PHP, https://pypi.org/project/oauthlib/ for Python.
https://oauth.net/code/ has a further selection of libraries in a variety of languages.

Need help implementing PKCE flow in Doorkeeper
Are there any code examples to implement the PKCE flow in Doorkeeper? I am a bit confused on how to implement it here: https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper/wiki/Using-PKCE-flow
-
Using the same backend for both web views & mobile app
For authorization we use Doorkeeper gem with PKCE flow.

Authelia is an open-source authentication/authorization server with 2FA/SSO
One thing that is missing from this list is open source language specific libraries. Projects such as https://oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2/server.html and https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper
Depending on your use case, for example if you only have one application, you might be better off running something embedded in your app, or independent but using the same runtime/deployment environment. Then, when you are ready to add another app or integration, you should be able to introduce a standalone auth system more easily if appropriate (because all your auth interactions should be relatively standardized). I'm a big fan of standalone auth systems as a way to simplify access control and give a single view of a user/customer, but you can also succeed using open source embedded libraries.
When the moment comes to introduce a standalone system, you should consider a few dimensions (this list pulled from a previous comment of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26360048 ):
* open source or not
