# Auth architecture
|
|
|
|
Current implementation: **SvelteKit directly + PocketBase**. Hono is **not** part of
|
|
auth today — it is reserved for future services (email, etc.). The `/api` proxy target
|
|
still points at it, but no auth traffic flows through it.

## Roles (in the `users` collection)
|
|
|
|
| Role | Auth | Session cookie | Record in |
|
|
| -------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------- |
|
|
| Admin | PB email + password | `pb_token` (24hr JWT) | `users` (role `parent`) |
|
|
| Member | Invite OTP + server-derived password | `pb_token` (httpOnly) | `users` (role `child`) |
|
|
| Superuser| PB `_superusers` (server-side only, `pb-admin`) | — | — |
|
|
|
|
- **Admins (parents)** authenticate via email/password → PB JWT in an httpOnly `pb_token`
|
|
cookie. The session user is `{ id, name, username, role: 'parent', famId, color }`.
|
|
- **Members (children)** are `users` records with `role='child'`; their PB `username` is the composite `{famSlug}:{handle}` (globally unique auth identity) where `handle` is the whitespace-free lowercase form of their name, and `name` keeps the raw display name. Their PB password is
|
|
**derived** server-side as `MEMBER_SECRET + famSlug + username` (they never know or type it).
|
|
Access is gated by a 20-minute OTP in `user_configs`. On join they `authWithPassword` and get
|
|
the same httpOnly `pb_token` cookie. There is no separate `members` collection anymore.
|
|
- **Platform superuser** (`_superusers`) is used only server-side by `pb-admin.ts` for
|
|
cross-family / signup / OTP writes. Not an app role.
|
|
|
|
## Request lifecycle (authenticated)
|
|
|
|
1. Browser sends request; sends cookie `pb_token` (httpOnly, sameSite=lax, secure in prod).
|
|
2. `hooks.server.ts` extracts the token.
|
|
3. `createPbClient(token)` builds a PB client pre-authenticated as that user.
|
|
4. `pb.collection('users').authRefresh()`:
|
|
- validates the token (PB JWTs can't be checked offline),
|
|
- returns the fresh record → `event.locals.user = { id, name, username, role, famId, color }`,
|
|
- returns a fresh token; if it changed, the cookie is rolled forward.
|
|
5. Route guard runs (public / authed / admin-only).
|
|
6. `+page.server.ts` / `+server.ts` use `locals.user` for identity; use the token-backed
|
|
PB client for any CRUD so PB's collection rules apply.
|
|
|
|
Because `pb_token` is httpOnly, the browser PB SDK cannot read it from `document.cookie`.
|
|
It is instead seeded from the SSR `page.data.pbToken` prop via `initPb(token)` in the
|
|
`[fam]/+layout.svelte` `onMount`.
|
|
|
|
## Signup flow (`/signup`)
|
|
|
|
Multi-step form on a single route. All steps run as **form actions** on the server; the
|
|
`use:enhance` handler only advances the step on a non-failure result.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Step 1 (?/signup) familyName + yourName + email + password
|
|
· create fams → fam (slug = slugify(familyName))
|
|
· create users → parent (role 'parent', name = yourName, username = `{famSlug}:{handle(yourName)}`)
|
|
· create settings
|
|
· authWithPassword(email, password) → set httpOnly pb_token cookie → step 2
|
|
|
|
Step 2 (?/child) child's first name (optional)
|
|
· issueAccess() → upserts child user + OTP → returns { code, joinUrl } → step 3
|
|
· or "Skip for now" → dashboard
|
|
|
|
Step 3 show OTP join code + joinUrl (+ "Go to dashboard" link)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All create calls use the superuser client (`createSuperClient` / `pbAdmin`), which bypasses
|
|
PB collection rules. PB requires a `username` on `users` auth records — for both parents and
|
|
children it's the composite `{famSlug}:{handle}` (globally unique so PB's auth-identity
|
|
unique index holds, even though the URL segment is only per-family), where `handle` is the
|
|
whitespace-free lowercase form of the name (`"Joe Edhook"` → `joeedhook`). `name` keeps the
|
|
raw human-entered display name. The URL segment is `handleOf(username)` (part after the last
|
|
`:`) → `/{famSlug}/{handle}`; parents still authenticate with email+password and land on the
|
|
fam dashboard `/{famSlug}`.
|
|
|
|
## Child join flow (`/{famSlug}/join/{username}?code=…`)
|
|
|
|
1. Admin issues a child in Settings → `issueAccess` (`member-otp.ts`):
|
|
`createChild({ name, famId, famSlug })` upserts the `users` record
|
|
(`username = {famSlug}:{handle(name)}`, `name` = display, password = derived), and upserts a
|
|
`user_configs` row with a 20-min `otp`. Returns `{ otp, joinUrl }`.
|
|
2. The join page auto-fills the OTP from the `?code=` query param; the child submits the form.
|
|
3. `redeemOtp` verifies the fam slug, the child role, the OTP + its TTL, then
|
|
`authWithPassword(famUsername(famSlug, handle), derivePassword(famSlug, handle))` and returns a fresh JWT,
|
|
which is set as the `pb_token` cookie.
|
|
4. Child is redirected to their own kanban `/{famSlug}/{username}`.
|
|
|
|
## Key decisions to replicate in another project
|
|
|
|
- **Server-only PB client** lives in `src/lib/server/`; never imported by browser code.
|
|
Secrets (superuser creds, `MEMBER_SECRET`) stay server-side.
|
|
- **Absolute PB base URL** in the SDK (e.g. `http://host:8090`), NOT a relative `/pb`.
|
|
All calls run in Node where relative URLs fail. The Vite `/pb` proxy is a browser-only
|
|
convenience and is unnecessary for server-side calls.
|
|
- **Env vars**: read via `$app/env/private` for private vars (declared in `src/env.ts`),
|
|
never `$app/env/public`.
|
|
- **`createSuperClient`** = anonymous client + `_superusers` auth, used for signup and OTP
|
|
writes. Superusers bypass PB collection rules.
|
|
- **Session cookie**: PB JWT in `pb_token`, `httpOnly:true`; expiry governed by the token's
|
|
`exp`, cookie `maxAge` is just a ceiling; `authRefresh` rolls it forward.
|
|
- **Authz boundary** lives in PocketBase collection rules (famId scoping), not just app code.
|
|
- **Child identity** is a `users` record; `username` (slug) is used for URLs and the derived
|
|
password, `name` for display. Never store raw `deviceToken`; the OTP gate is transient. |
