AWS SAM User Api Template

Description

This an AST (AWS Serverless Application Model Template) for a user api with simple username and password sign up pair. Allowing you to create, read, update and delete users. Authentication is done simply using JWT tokens without Cognito support which uses the minimal amount of resources in AWS. Only simplest of features are implemented to allow you to build on top of it including the ability to add additional fields to the user model etc. HTTP API is used as the API Gateway type as it support both with and without authorizer to a route.

Requirements

Implementation

User Api

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Create a Parameter Store entry in AWS for the JWT secret
    • With AWS CLI
      aws ssm put-parameter --name /{ProjectName}/{Env}/user-api/jwt-secret --type SecureString --value <your-secret>
    • With AWS Console
      Go to the AWS Console and navigate to the Parameter Store. Create a new parameter with the name /{ProjectName}/{Env}/user-api/jwt-secret and the value of your secret.
  3. Update your project name and environment
    • In the template.yaml file
      Update the Project and Env parameters
    • Override the parameter when deploy using --parameter-overrides
      sam deploy --parameter-overrides Project=<your-project-name> Env=<your-env>
  4. Build the application with sam build
  5. Remove the samconfig.tomlfrom the .gitignore file, allowing you to save the deployment configuration
  6. Deploy the application with sam deploy --guided for the first time and sam deploy after that

Other Apis

After deploying the user api you can deploy other apis with also implementing the JWT authenticator.

# only the relevant parts are shown
# more info can be found in the UserApi template
SampleApi:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::HttpApi
    # or AWS::Serverless::Api 
    # if a route must or must not include the authorization header
    # while HttpApi allow a route to have both with and without authorization
    # more details can be found in the AWS documentation
    Properties:
      # the actual authorizer implementation
      Auth:
        DefaultAuthorizer: LambdaRequestAuthorizer
        Authorizers:
          LambdaRequestAuthorizer:
            FunctionArn: !ImportValue JwtAuthFunctionArn
            FunctionInvokeRole: !ImportValue JwtAuthenticatorFunctionInvokeRoleArn
            AuthorizerPayloadFormatVersion: 2.0
            EnableSimpleResponses: true
