/authenticate route to get the Bearer Token of the user given their username and pass using Clerk
How can I fix this httpAction to use Clerk to get the Bearer token of the user based on the username and password that the user will provide in the request body of the api call to convex:
import { httpAction } from "../_generated/server";
import { Clerk } from "@clerk/clerk-js";
export const authenticateHandler = httpAction(async (ctx, request) => {
try {
// Parse the request body
const { User, Secret } = await request.json();
// Authenticate the user using Clerk's users API
const user = await clerk.users.verifyPassword({ identifier: User, password: Secret });
if (user) {
// Create a session for the authenticated user
const session = await clerk.sessions.createSession({ userId: user.id });
// Retrieve the session token
const token = session.token;
// If authentication is successful, return the token
return new Response(JSON.stringify({
token: token,
}), { status: 200 });
}
} catch (error: any) {
if (error.message.includes("invalid credentials")) {
// Return 401 if the user or password is invalid
return new Response("The user or password is invalid.", { status: 401 });
}
// If any required fields are missing, return 400
if (error.message.includes("missing fields")) {
return new Response("There is missing field(s) in the AuthenticationRequest or it is formed improperly.", { status: 400 });
}
// Return 501 if the system does not support authentication
return new Response("This system does not support authentication.", { status: 501 });
}
// Ensure a Response is returned if no other conditions are met
return new Response("An unexpected error occurred.", { status: 500 });
// return new Response(JSON.stringify({messsage: "Hello world!"}), {
// status: 200,
// });
});import { httpAction } from "../_generated/server";
import { Clerk } from "@clerk/clerk-js";
export const authenticateHandler = httpAction(async (ctx, request) => {
try {
// Parse the request body
const { User, Secret } = await request.json();
// Authenticate the user using Clerk's users API
const user = await clerk.users.verifyPassword({ identifier: User, password: Secret });
if (user) {
// Create a session for the authenticated user
const session = await clerk.sessions.createSession({ userId: user.id });
// Retrieve the session token
const token = session.token;
// If authentication is successful, return the token
return new Response(JSON.stringify({
token: token,
}), { status: 200 });
}
} catch (error: any) {
if (error.message.includes("invalid credentials")) {
// Return 401 if the user or password is invalid
return new Response("The user or password is invalid.", { status: 401 });
}
// If any required fields are missing, return 400
if (error.message.includes("missing fields")) {
return new Response("There is missing field(s) in the AuthenticationRequest or it is formed improperly.", { status: 400 });
}
// Return 501 if the system does not support authentication
return new Response("This system does not support authentication.", { status: 501 });
}
// Ensure a Response is returned if no other conditions are met
return new Response("An unexpected error occurred.", { status: 500 });
// return new Response(JSON.stringify({messsage: "Hello world!"}), {
// status: 200,
// });
});
