Spring Boot, Security, MongoDB, Angular 8: Build Authentication

A comprehensive step by step tutorial on learning to build web application authentication using Spring Boot, Security, MongoDB, and Angular 8. In this tutorial, we have to build Spring Boot, Spring Security Core, and MongoDB RESTful Authentication as the backend. The Angular 8 used as the frontend using the `HttpClient`, `HttpInterceptor`, and `RouteGuard` modules. The secure page guarded by Angular 8 Route Guard and the secure RESTful API guarded by Spring Security REST. This should be a great combination of a secure modern web application.

Jumps to the steps:

• Generate a New Spring Boot Gradle Project
• Create Product, User and Role Model or Entity Classes
• Create Product, User and Role Repository Interfaces
• Create a Custom User Details Service
• Configure Spring Boot Security Rest
• Create Product and Authentication Controllers
• Install or Update Angular 8 CLI and Create Application
• Add Routes for Navigation between Angular 8 Pages/Component
• Create a custom Angular 8 HttpInterceptor
• Create Services for Accessing Product and Authentication API
• Display List of Product using Angular 8 Material
• Create the Angular 8 Login and Register Page
• Secure the Guarded Products Page using Angular 8 Route Guard
• Run and Test The Authentication of The Spring Boot, Security, MongoDB, and Angular 8 Web Application

The flow of the web application looks like below Sequence Diagram.

The Angular 8 application starts with the secure and route guarded page list of products without authorization headers. The Angular 8 redirect to the Login page. After login with the valid credential, the Angular 8 got the JWT token that validates with Route guard also send together with Authorization headers bearer. In the products list page, the Angular 8 application request products API to Spring Boot Security API include authorization headers. Finally, the Angular 8 page displaying the list of products.

The following tools, frameworks, libraries, and modules are required for this tutorial:

1. Java Development Kit (JDK) 8
2. Gradle
3. Spring Boot
4. Spring Data MongoDB
5. MongoDB
6. Spring Security
7. Spring Initializer
8. Angular 8
9. IDE or Text Editor (We are using VSCode)
10. Terminal or cmd

We assume that you already installed all required software, tools, and frameworks. So, we will not cover how to install that software, tools, and frameworks. Notes: We are using Spring Boot 2.1.6 (Stable version), JDK 1.8.0_92, and Angular 8.0.6.

Generate a New Spring Boot Gradle Project

To create or generate a new Spring Boot Application or Project, simply go to Spring Initializer. Fill all required fields as below then click on Generate Project button.

The project will automatically be downloaded as a Zip file. Next, extract the zipped project to your java projects folder. On the project folder root, you will find `build.gradle` file for register dependencies, initially it looks like this.

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.1.6.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
    id 'war'
}

apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

group = 'com.djamware'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    providedRuntime 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-test'
}

Now, you can work with the source code of this Spring Boot Project using your own IDE or Text Editor. We are using Visual Studio Code (VSCode). In the terminal or command line go to the extracted project folder then run the command to open VSCode.

cd spring-angular-auth
code .

Next, we have to add the JWT library to the `build.gradle` as the dependency. Open and edit `build.gradle` then add this line to dependencies after other implementation.

implementation 'io.jsonwebtoken:jjwt:0.9.1'

Next, compile the Gradle Project by type this command from Terminal or CMD.

gradle compileJava

Next, open and edit `src/main/resources/application.properties` then add these lines.

spring.data.mongodb.database=springmongodb
spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017

Create Product, User and Role Model or Entity Classes

We will be creating all required models or entities for products, user and role for Spring Boot login. Create a new folder and files inside that new folder.

mkdir src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models/Products.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models/User.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models/Role.java

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models/Products.java` then add these package and imports of Spring Framework ID and Document.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.models;

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;

Next, add these lines of codes for class, fields, document annotation that map to MongoDB collection, constructors, and getter/setter for each field.

@Document(collection = "products")
public class Products {

    @Id
    String id;
    String prodName;
    String prodDesc;
    Double prodPrice;
    String prodImage;

    public Products() {
    }

    public Products(String prodName, String prodDesc, Double prodPrice, String prodImage) {
        super();
        this.prodName = prodName;
        this.prodDesc = prodDesc;
        this.prodPrice = prodPrice;
        this.prodImage = prodImage;
    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getProdName() {
        return prodName;
    }

    public void setProdName(String prodName) {
        this.prodName = prodName;
    }

    public String getProdDesc() {
        return prodDesc;
    }

    public void setProdDesc(String prodDesc) {
        this.prodDesc = prodDesc;
    }

    public Double getProdPrice() {
        return prodPrice;
    }

    public void setProdPrice(Double prodPrice) {
        this.prodPrice = prodPrice;
    }

    public String getProdImage() {
        return prodImage;
    }

    public void setProdImage(String prodImage) {
        this.prodImage = prodImage;
    }

}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models/User.java` then add these package and imports of Spring Framework ID, IndexDirection, Indexed, DBRef, and Document.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.models;

import java.util.Set;

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexDirection;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.Indexed;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.DBRef;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;

Add these lines of Java codes that contain document annotation that map to the MongoDB collection, class name, fields, constructors, and getter/setter of the fields.

@Document(collection = "users")
public class User {

    @Id
    private String id;
    @Indexed(unique = true, direction = IndexDirection.DESCENDING, dropDups = true)
    private String email;
    private String password;
    private String fullname;
    private boolean enabled;
    @DBRef
    private Set<Role> roles;

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }
    public String getFullname() {
        return fullname;
    }
    public void setFullname(String fullname) {
        this.fullname = fullname;
    }
    public boolean isEnabled() {
        return enabled;
    }
    public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        this.enabled = enabled;
    }
    public Set<Role> getRoles() {
        return roles;
    }
    public void setRoles(Set<Role> roles) {
        this.roles = roles;
    }

}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/models/Role.java` then add these package name and imports of Spring Framework ID, IndexDirection, Indexed, DBRef, and Document.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.models;

import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.IndexDirection;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.index.Indexed;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;

Add these lines of codes that contain document annotation that map to MongoDB collection, class name, fields/variables, constructors, and getter/setter for each field/variables.

@Document(collection = "roles")
public class Role {

	@Id
    private String id;
    @Indexed(unique = true, direction = IndexDirection.DESCENDING, dropDups = true)

    private String role;
	public String getId() {
		return id;
	}
	public void setId(String id) {
		this.id = id;
	}
	public String getRole() {
		return role;
	}
	public void setRole(String role) {
		this.role = role;
	}
    
}

If you want easier Java class creation, auto import organization, generate constructor, and generate getter/setter then you can use IDE like Eclipse, Netbeans, Spring Tool-Suite, or IntelliJ IDEA. So, you don't have to type all codes manually.

Create Product, User and Role Repository Interfaces

Next steps to create Product, User, and Role Repository Interfaces. Create a new folder and files for the repositories.

mkdir src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories/ProductRepository.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories/UserRepository.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories/RoleRepository.java

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories/ProductRepository.java` then add these package name and imports of Products model and Spring Framework MongoRepository.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.Products;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;

Add these lines of codes that contain Java interface name that extends `MongoRepository` and deletes method.

public interface ProductRepository extends MongoRepository<Products, String> {

    @Override
    void delete(Products deleted);
}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories/UserRepository.java` then add these package name and imports of Repositories, User model, and Spring Framework MongoRepository.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.User;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;

Add these lines of codes that contain Java interface name that extends `MongoRepository` and find by email method.

public interface UserRepository extends MongoRepository<User, String> {

    User findByEmail(String email);
}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/repositories/RoleRepository.java` then add these package name and imports of Spring Framework MongoRespository and Role model.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.Role;

Add these lines of codes that contain Java interface name that extends `MongoRepository` and find by role method.

public interface RoleRepository extends MongoRepository<Role, String> {

    Role findByRole(String role);
}

Create a Custom User Details Service

To implements authentication using existing User and Role from MongoDB, we have to create a custom user details service. Create a new folder and Java file for the service.

mkdir src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/services
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/services/CustomUserDetailsService.java

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/services/CustomUserDetailsService.java` then add these package name and imports of the required Spring Framework authorization libraries.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.services;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.authority.SimpleGrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.password.PasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.Role;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.User;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories.RoleRepository;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories.UserRepository;

Add these lines of codes that contains service annotation, the class name that implements `UserDetailsService`, required variables, constructors, and methods for the authentication process.

@Service
public class CustomUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {

    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;

    @Autowired
    private RoleRepository roleRepository;

    @Autowired
    private PasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder;

    public User findUserByEmail(String email) {
        return userRepository.findByEmail(email);
    }

    public void saveUser(User user) {
        user.setPassword(bCryptPasswordEncoder.encode(user.getPassword()));
        user.setEnabled(true);
        Role userRole = roleRepository.findByRole("ADMIN");
        user.setRoles(new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(userRole)));
        userRepository.save(user);
    }

    @Override
    public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String email) throws UsernameNotFoundException {

        User user = userRepository.findByEmail(email);
        if(user != null) {
            List<GrantedAuthority> authorities = getUserAuthority(user.getRoles());
            return buildUserForAuthentication(user, authorities);
        } else {
            throw new UsernameNotFoundException("username not found");
        }
    }

    private List<GrantedAuthority> getUserAuthority(Set<Role> userRoles) {
        Set<GrantedAuthority> roles = new HashSet<>();
        userRoles.forEach((role) -> {
            roles.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority(role.getRole()));
        });

        List<GrantedAuthority> grantedAuthorities = new ArrayList<>(roles);
        return grantedAuthorities;
    }

    private UserDetails buildUserForAuthentication(User user, List<GrantedAuthority> authorities) {
        return new org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User(user.getEmail(), user.getPassword(), authorities);
    }
}

Configure Spring Boot Security Rest

Now, the main purpose of this tutorial is configuring Spring Security Rest. First, we have to create a bean for JWT token generation and validation. Create a new folder and file for the configuration.

mkdir src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/JwtTokenProvider.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/JwtConfigurer.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/JwtTokenFilter.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/WebSecurityConfig.java

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/JwtTokenProvider.java` then add these package name and imports of the required Spring Framework authentication, algorithm and JWT.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.configs;

import java.util.Base64;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Set;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken;
import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.Role;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.services.CustomUserDetailsService;

import io.jsonwebtoken.Claims;
import io.jsonwebtoken.Jws;
import io.jsonwebtoken.JwtException;
import io.jsonwebtoken.Jwts;
import io.jsonwebtoken.SignatureAlgorithm;

Next, add these lines of codes that contain component annotation, class name, variables, and methods.

@Component
public class JwtTokenProvider {

      @Value("${security.jwt.token.secret-key:secret}")
    private String secretKey = "secret";

    @Value("${security.jwt.token.expire-length:3600000}")
    private long validityInMilliseconds = 3600000; // 1h

    @Autowired
    private CustomUserDetailsService userDetailsService;

    @PostConstruct
    protected void init() {
        secretKey = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(secretKey.getBytes());
    }

    public String createToken(String username, Set<Role> set) {
        Claims claims = Jwts.claims().setSubject(username);
        claims.put("roles", set);
        Date now = new Date();
        Date validity = new Date(now.getTime() + validityInMilliseconds);
        return Jwts.builder()//
            .setClaims(claims)//
            .setIssuedAt(now)//
            .setExpiration(validity)//
            .signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256, secretKey)//
            .compact();
    }

    public Authentication getAuthentication(String token) {
        UserDetails userDetails = this.userDetailsService.loadUserByUsername(getUsername(token));
        return new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(userDetails, "", userDetails.getAuthorities());
    }

    public String getUsername(String token) {
        return Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(secretKey).parseClaimsJws(token).getBody().getSubject();
    }

    public String resolveToken(HttpServletRequest req) {
        String bearerToken = req.getHeader("Authorization");
        if (bearerToken != null && bearerToken.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
            return bearerToken.substring(7, bearerToken.length());
        }
        return null;
    }

    public boolean validateToken(String token) {
        try {
            Jws<Claims> claims = Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(secretKey).parseClaimsJws(token);
            if (claims.getBody().getExpiration().before(new Date())) {
                return false;
            }
            return true;
        } catch (JwtException | IllegalArgumentException e) {
            throw new JwtException("Expired or invalid JWT token");
        }
    }
}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/JwtTokenFilter.java` then add these package name and imports of the required Spring Framework Servlet and Filters.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.configs;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication;
import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;
import org.springframework.web.filter.GenericFilterBean;

Next, add these lines of codes that contain component annotation, class name, variables, and methods.

public class JwtTokenFilter extends GenericFilterBean {

    private JwtTokenProvider jwtTokenProvider;

    public JwtTokenFilter(JwtTokenProvider jwtTokenProvider) {
        this.jwtTokenProvider = jwtTokenProvider;
    }

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain filterChain)
        throws IOException, ServletException {
        String token = jwtTokenProvider.resolveToken((HttpServletRequest) req);
        if (token != null && jwtTokenProvider.validateToken(token)) {
            Authentication auth = token != null ? jwtTokenProvider.getAuthentication(token) : null;
            SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(auth);
        }
        filterChain.doFilter(req, res);
    }
}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/JwtConfigurer.java` then add these package name and imports of Spring Security configuration and filters.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.configs;

import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.SecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain;
import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter;

Next, add these lines of codes that contain component annotation, the class name that extends the `SecurityConfigurerAdapter`, variables, and methods.

public class JwtConfigurer extends SecurityConfigurerAdapter<DefaultSecurityFilterChain, HttpSecurity> {

    private JwtTokenProvider jwtTokenProvider;

    public JwtConfigurer(JwtTokenProvider jwtTokenProvider) {
        this.jwtTokenProvider = jwtTokenProvider;
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        JwtTokenFilter customFilter = new JwtTokenFilter(jwtTokenProvider);
        http.addFilterBefore(customFilter, UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
    }
}

Finally, we have to configure the Spring Security by open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/configs/WebSecurityConfig.java` then add these package name and imports of Spring Framework servlet, security, and web configurations.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.configs;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.WebSecurity;

import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.password.PasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.security.web.AuthenticationEntryPoint;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.services.CustomUserDetailsService;

Add these lines of codes that contains Configuration and `EnableWebSecurity` annotation, class name that extends `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter`, required variables, constructors, and methods.

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    JwtTokenProvider jwtTokenProvider;

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        UserDetailsService userDetailsService = mongoUserDetails();
        auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(bCryptPasswordEncoder());

    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.httpBasic().disable().csrf().disable().sessionManagement()
                .sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS).and().authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/api/auth/login").permitAll().antMatchers("/api/auth/register").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/api/products/**").hasAuthority("ADMIN").anyRequest().authenticated().and().csrf()
                .disable().exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(unauthorizedEntryPoint()).and()
                .apply(new JwtConfigurer(jwtTokenProvider));
    http.cors();
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web.ignoring().antMatchers("/resources/**", "/static/**", "/css/**", "/js/**", "/images/**");
    }

    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder() {
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }

    @Bean
    @Override
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }

    @Bean
    public AuthenticationEntryPoint unauthorizedEntryPoint() {
        return (request, response, authException) -> response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED,
                "Unauthorized");
    }

    @Bean
    public UserDetailsService mongoUserDetails() {
        return new CustomUserDetailsService();
    }
}

Create Product and Authentication Controllers

Now it's time for REST API endpoint. All REST API will be created from each controller. Product controller will handle CRUD endpoint of product and Authentication controller will handle login and register endpoint. Create a new folder and files for the controllers.

mkdir src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers/ProductController.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers/AuthController.java
touch src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers/AuthBody.java

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers/AuthController.java` then add these package name and imports.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.controllers;

import java.util.Optional;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.Products;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories.ProductRepository;

Add these lines of codes that contain `RestController` annotation, class name, required variables, constructors, and methods.

@CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
@RequestMapping("/api")
@RestController
public class ProductController {

    @Autowired
    ProductRepository productRepository;

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/products")
    public Iterable<Products> product() {
        return productRepository.findAll();
    }
}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers/AuthController.java` then add these package name and imports of the required Spring Framework REST API builder.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.controllers;

import static org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity.ok;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.djamware.springangularauth.configs.JwtTokenProvider;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.models.User;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.repositories.UserRepository;
import com.djamware.springangularauth.services.CustomUserDetailsService;

Add these lines of codes that contain `RestController` and `RequestMapping` annotation, class name, required variables, constructors, and methods.

@CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/auth")
public class AuthController {

    @Autowired
    AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

    @Autowired
    JwtTokenProvider jwtTokenProvider;

    @Autowired
    UserRepository users;

    @Autowired
    private CustomUserDetailsService userService;

    @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
    @PostMapping("/login")
    public ResponseEntity login(@RequestBody AuthBody data) {
        try {
            String username = data.getEmail();
            authenticationManager.authenticate(new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(username, data.getPassword()));
            String token = jwtTokenProvider.createToken(username, this.users.findByEmail(username).getRoles());
            Map<Object, Object> model = new HashMap<>();
            model.put("username", username);
            model.put("token", token);
            return ok(model);
        } catch (AuthenticationException e) {
            throw new BadCredentialsException("Invalid email/password supplied");
        }
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
    @PostMapping("/register")
    public ResponseEntity register(@RequestBody User user) {
        User userExists = userService.findUserByEmail(user.getEmail());
        if (userExists != null) {
            throw new BadCredentialsException("User with username: " + user.getEmail() + " already exists");
        }
        userService.saveUser(user);
        Map<Object, Object> model = new HashMap<>();
        model.put("message", "User registered successfully");
        return ok(model);
    }
}

Next, open and edit `src/main/java/com/djamware/springangularauth/controllers/AuthBody.java` then add these package name.

package com.djamware.springangularauth.controllers;

Add these lines of codes that contains the class name, fields or variables, and getter/setter for those variables.

public class AuthBody {

    private String email;
    private String password;

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

}

Install or Update Angular 8 CLI and Create Application

Before installing the Angular 8 CLI, make sure you have installed Node.js https://nodejs.org and can open Node.js command prompt. Next, open the Node.js command prompt then type this command to install Angular 8 CLI.

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

Next, create an Angular 8 application by typing this command in the root of the Spring Boot application/project directory.

ng new client

Where `client` is the name of the Angular 8 application. You can specify your own name, we like to name it `client` because it's put inside Spring Boot Project directory. If there's a question, we fill them with `Y` and `SCSS`. Next, go to the newly created Angular 8 application.

cd client

Run the Angular 8 application for the first time.

ng serve

Now, go to `localhost:4200` and you should see this page.

Add Routes for Navigation between Angular 8 Pages/Component

On the previous steps, we have to add Angular 8 Routes when answering the questions. Now, we just added the required pages for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Supplier data. Type this commands to add the Angular 8 components or pages.

ng g component products
ng g component auth/login
ng g component auth/register

Open `src/app/app.module.ts` then you will see those components imported and declared in `@NgModule` declarations. Next, open and edit `src/app/app-routing.module.ts` then add these imports of products, login, and register components.

import { ProductsComponent } from './products/products.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './auth/login/login.component';
import { RegisterComponent } from './auth/register/register.component';

Add these arrays to the existing routes constant.

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    redirectTo: 'products',
    pathMatch: 'full'
  },
  {
    path: 'products',
    component: ProductsComponent,
    data: { title: 'List of Products' }
  },
  {
    path: 'login',
    component: LoginComponent,
    data: { title: 'Login' }
  },
  {
    path: 'register',
    component: RegisterComponent,
    data: { title: 'Register' }
  }
];

Open and edit `src/app/app.component.html` and you will see the existing router outlet. Next, modify this HTML page to fit the CRUD page wrapped by <router-outlet>.

<div class="container">
  <router-outlet></router-outlet>
</div>

Open and edit `src/app/app.component.scss` then replace all SCSS codes with this.

.container {
  padding: 20px;
}

Create a custom Angular 8 HttpInterceptor

Before creating a custom Angular 8 HttpInterceptor, create a folder with the name `client/src/app/interceptors`. Next, create a file for the custom Angular 8 HttpInterceptor with the name `client/src/app/interceptors/token.interceptor.ts`. Open and edit that file the add these imports of the required HTTP handler and RxJS.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {
    HttpRequest,
    HttpHandler,
    HttpEvent,
    HttpInterceptor,
    HttpResponse,
    HttpErrorResponse
} from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, throwError } from 'rxjs';
import { map, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

Create a class that implementing HttpInterceptor method.

@Injectable()
export class TokenInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {

}

Inject the required module to the constructor inside the class.

constructor(private router: Router) {}

Implement a custom Interceptor function.

intercept(request: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {

    const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
    if (token) {
      request = request.clone({
        setHeaders: {
          'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
        }
      });
    }
    if (!request.headers.has('Content-Type')) {
      request = request.clone({
        setHeaders: {
          'content-type': 'application/json'
        }
      });
    }
    request = request.clone({
      headers: request.headers.set('Accept', 'application/json')
    });
    return next.handle(request).pipe(
      map((event: HttpEvent<any>) => {
        if (event instanceof HttpResponse) {
          console.log('event--->>>', event);
        }
        return event;
      }),
      catchError((error: HttpErrorResponse) => {
        console.log(error);
        if (error.status === 401) {
          this.router.navigate(['login']);
        }
        if (error.status === 400) {
          alert(error.error);
        }
        return throwError(error);
      }));
}

Next, we have to register this custom HttpInterceptor and HttpClientModule. Open and edit `client/src/app.module.ts` then add these imports of HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, HttpClientModule, and TokenInterceptor.

import { HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { TokenInterceptor } from './interceptors/token.interceptor';

Add `HttpClientModule` to the `@NgModule` imports array.

imports: [
  BrowserModule,
  AppRoutingModule,
  HttpClientModule
],

Add the `Interceptor` modules to the provider array of the `@NgModule`.

providers: [
  {
    provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS,
    useClass: TokenInterceptor,
    multi: true
  }
],

Now, the HTTP interceptor is ready to intercept any request to the API.

Create Services for Accessing Product and Authentication API

To access the Spring Boot RESTful API from Angular 8 application, we have to create services for that. Type these commands to generate the Angular 8 services from the client folder.

ng g service auth
ng g service product

Next, open and edit `client/src/app/auth.service.ts` then add these imports of HttpClient, RxJS Observable, of, catchError, and tap.

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import { catchError, tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

Declare a constant variable as Spring Boot REST API URL after the imports.

const apiUrl = 'http://192.168.0.7:8080/api/auth/';

Declare the variables before the constructor that will use by Angular 8 Route Guard.

isLoggedIn = false;
redirectUrl: string;

Inject the `HttpClient` module inside the constructor.

constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

Create all required functions for Login, Logout, Register, and helper functions.

login(data: any): Observable<any> {
  return this.http.post<any>(apiUrl + 'login', data)
    .pipe(
      tap(_ => this.isLoggedIn = true),
      catchError(this.handleError('login', []))
    );
}

logout(): Observable<any> {
  return this.http.get<any>(apiUrl + 'signout')
    .pipe(
      tap(_ => this.isLoggedIn = false),
      catchError(this.handleError('logout', []))
    );
}

register(data: any): Observable<any> {
  return this.http.post<any>(apiUrl + 'register', data)
    .pipe(
      tap(_ => this.log('login')),
      catchError(this.handleError('login', []))
    );
}

private handleError<T>(operation = 'operation', result?: T) {
  return (error: any): Observable<T> => {

    console.error(error); // log to console instead
    this.log(`${operation} failed: ${error.message}`);

    return of(result as T);
  };
}

private log(message: string) {
  console.log(message);
}

Next, create an object class that represents Product data `client/src/app/products/product.ts` then replace all file contents with these.

export class Product {
    productId: number;
    isbn: string;
    title: string;
    author: string;
    description: string;
    publisher: string;
    publishedYear: number;
    price: number;
}

Next, open and edit `client/src/app/services/product.service.ts` then replace all codes with this.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Product } from './products/product';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import { catchError, tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

const apiUrl = 'http://192.168.0.7:8080/api/products';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ProductService {

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

  getProducts(): Observable<Product[]> {
    return this.http.get<Product[]>(apiUrl + 'Product')
      .pipe(
        tap(_ => this.log('fetched Products')),
        catchError(this.handleError('getProducts', []))
      );
  }

  private handleError<T>(operation = 'operation', result?: T) {
    return (error: any): Observable<T> => {

      console.error(error); // log to console instead
      this.log(`${operation} failed: ${error.message}`);

      return of(result as T);
    };
  }

  private log(message: string) {
    console.log(message);
  }
}

Display List of Product using Angular 8 Material

To display a list of products to the Angular 8 template. First, open and edit `client/src/app/products/products.component.ts` then add these imports.

import { Product } from './product';
import { ProductService } from '../product.service';
import { AuthService } from '../auth.service';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';

Next, inject the Product and Auth Services to the constructor.

constructor(private productService: ProductService, private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) { }

Declare these variables before the constructor.

data: Product[] = [];
displayedColumns: string[] = ['prodName', 'prodDesc', 'prodPrice'];
isLoadingResults = true;

Create a function for consuming or get a product list from the producing service.

getProducts(): void {
  this.productService.getProducts()
    .subscribe(products => {
      this.data = products;
      console.log(this.data);
      this.isLoadingResults = false;
    }, err => {
      console.log(err);
      this.isLoadingResults = false;
    });
}

Call this function from `ngOnInit`.

ngOnInit() {
  this.getProducts();
}

Add a function for log out the current session.

logout() {
  localStorage.removeItem('token');
  this.router.navigate(['login']);
}

Next, for the user interface (UI) we will use Angular 8 Material and CDK. There's a CLI for generating a Material component like Table as a component, but we will create or add the Table component from scratch to existing component. Type this command to install Angular 8 Material.

ng add @angular/material

If there are some questions, answer them like below.

? Choose a prebuilt theme name, or "custom" for a custom theme: Purple/Green       [ Preview: https://material.angular.i
o?theme=purple-green ]
? Set up HammerJS for gesture recognition? Yes
? Set up browser animations for Angular Material? Yes

Next, we have to register all required Angular Material components or modules to `src/app/app.module.ts`. Open and edit that file then add this imports.

import {
  MatInputModule,
  MatPaginatorModule,
  MatProgressSpinnerModule,
  MatSortModule,
  MatTableModule,
  MatIconModule,
  MatButtonModule,
  MatCardModule,
  MatFormFieldModule } from '@angular/material';

Also, add `FormsModule` and `ReactiveFormsModule`.

import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

Register the above modules to `@NgModule` imports.

imports: [
  BrowserModule,
  FormsModule,
  HttpClientModule,
  AppRoutingModule,
  ReactiveFormsModule,
  BrowserAnimationsModule,
  MatInputModule,
  MatTableModule,
  MatPaginatorModule,
  MatSortModule,
  MatProgressSpinnerModule,
  MatIconModule,
  MatButtonModule,
  MatCardModule,
  MatFormFieldModule
],

Next, open and edit `client/src/app/products/products.component.html` then replace all HTML tags with this Angular 8 Material tags.

<div class="example-container mat-elevation-z8">
  <div class="example-loading-shade"
       *ngIf="isLoadingResults">
    <mat-spinner *ngIf="isLoadingResults"></mat-spinner>
  </div>
  <div class="button-row">
    <a mat-flat-button color="primary" (click)="logout()">Logout</a>
  </div>
  <div class="mat-elevation-z8">
    <table mat-table [dataSource]="data" class="example-table">

      <!-- Product ID Column -->
      <ng-container matColumnDef="prodName">
        <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Product Name</th>
        <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let row">{{row.prodName}}</td>
      </ng-container>

      <!-- ISBN Column -->
      <ng-container matColumnDef="prodDesc">
        <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Product Description</th>
        <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let row">{{row.prodDesc}}</td>
      </ng-container>

      <!-- Title Column -->
      <ng-container matColumnDef="prodPrice">
        <th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Product Price</th>
        <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let row">{{row.prodPrice}}</td>
      </ng-container>

      <tr mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></tr>
      <tr mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

Finally, we have to align the style for this page. Open and edit `client/src/app/products/products.component.scss` then replace all SCSS codes with these.

/* Structure */
.example-container {
    position: relative;
    padding: 5px;
}

.example-table-container {
    position: relative;
    max-height: 400px;
    overflow: auto;
}

table {
    width: 100%;
}

.example-loading-shade {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 56px;
    right: 0;
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
    z-index: 1;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

.example-rate-limit-reached {
    color: #980000;
    max-width: 360px;
    text-align: center;
}

/* Column Widths */
.mat-column-number,
.mat-column-state {
    max-width: 64px;
}

.mat-column-created {
    max-width: 124px;
}

.mat-flat-button {
    margin: 5px;
}

Create the Angular 8 Login and Register Page

This time for authentication part. Open and edit `client/src/app/auth/login/login.component.ts` then add these imports.

import { FormControl, FormGroupDirective, FormBuilder, FormGroup, NgForm, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { AuthService } from '../../auth.service';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { ErrorStateMatcher } from '@angular/material/core';

Declare these variables before the constructor.

loginForm: FormGroup;
email = '';
password = '';
matcher = new MyErrorStateMatcher();
isLoadingResults = false;

Inject the imported modules to the constructor.

constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder, private router: Router, private authService: AuthService) { }

Initialize `NgForm` to the `NgOnInit` function.

ngOnInit() {
  this.loginForm = this.formBuilder.group({
    'email' : [null, Validators.required],
    'password' : [null, Validators.required]
  });
}

Add a function to submit the login form.

onFormSubmit(form: NgForm) {
  this.authService.login(form)
    .subscribe(res => {
      console.log(res);
      if (res.token) {
        localStorage.setItem('token', res.token);
        this.router.navigate(['products']);
      }
    }, (err) => {
      console.log(err);
    });
}

Add a function to go to the Register page.

register() {
  this.router.navigate(['register']);
}

Add a class that handles the form validation above this class.

/** Error when invalid control is dirty, touched, or submitted. */
export class MyErrorStateMatcher implements ErrorStateMatcher {
  isErrorState(control: FormControl | null, form: FormGroupDirective | NgForm | null): boolean {
    const isSubmitted = form && form.submitted;
    return !!(control && control.invalid && (control.dirty || control.touched || isSubmitted));
  }
}

Next, open and edit `client/src/app/auth/login/login.component.html` then replace all HTML tags with these.

<div class="example-container mat-elevation-z8">
  <div class="example-loading-shade"
       *ngIf="isLoadingResults">
    <mat-spinner *ngIf="isLoadingResults"></mat-spinner>
  </div>
  <mat-card class="example-card">
    <form [formGroup]="loginForm" (ngSubmit)="onFormSubmit(loginForm.value)">
      <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
        <input matInput type="email" placeholder="Email" formControlName="email"
               [errorStateMatcher]="matcher">
        <mat-error>
          <span *ngIf="!loginForm.get('email').valid && loginForm.get('email').touched">Please enter your email</span>
        </mat-error>
      </mat-form-field>
      <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
        <input matInput type="password" placeholder="Password" formControlName="password"
               [errorStateMatcher]="matcher">
        <mat-error>
          <span *ngIf="!loginForm.get('password').valid && loginForm.get('password').touched">Please enter your password</span>
        </mat-error>
      </mat-form-field>
      <div class="button-row">
        <button type="submit" [disabled]="!loginForm.valid" mat-flat-button color="primary">Login</button>
      </div>
      <div class="button-row">
        <button type="button" mat-flat-button color="primary" (click)="register()">Register</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </mat-card>
</div>

Next, give this page a style by open and edit `client/src/app/auth/login/login.component.scss` then applies these styles codes.

/* Structure */
.example-container {
  position: relative;
  padding: 5px;
}

.example-form {
  min-width: 150px;
  max-width: 500px;
  width: 100%;
}

.example-full-width {
  width: 100%;
}

.example-full-width:nth-last-child() {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.button-row {
  margin: 10px 0;
}

.mat-flat-button {
  margin: 5px;
}

Next, for register page, open and edit `client/src/app/auth/register/register.component.ts` then replace all Typescript codes with these.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroupDirective, FormBuilder, FormGroup, NgForm, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { AuthService } from '../../auth.service';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { ErrorStateMatcher } from '@angular/material/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-register',
  templateUrl: './register.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./register.component.scss']
})
export class RegisterComponent implements OnInit {

  registerForm: FormGroup;
  fullName = '';
  email = '';
  password = '';
  isLoadingResults = false;
  matcher = new MyErrorStateMatcher();

  constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder, private router: Router, private authService: AuthService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.registerForm = this.formBuilder.group({
      'fullName' : [null, Validators.required],
      'email' : [null, Validators.required],
      'password' : [null, Validators.required]
    });
  }

  onFormSubmit(form: NgForm) {
    this.authService.register(form)
      .subscribe(res => {
        this.router.navigate(['login']);
      }, (err) => {
        console.log(err);
        alert(err.error);
      });
  }

}

/** Error when invalid control is dirty, touched, or submitted. */
export class MyErrorStateMatcher implements ErrorStateMatcher {
  isErrorState(control: FormControl | null, form: FormGroupDirective | NgForm | null): boolean {
    const isSubmitted = form && form.submitted;
    return !!(control && control.invalid && (control.dirty || control.touched || isSubmitted));
  }
}

Next, open and edit `client/src/app/auth/register/register.component.html` then replace all HTML tags with these.

<div class="example-container mat-elevation-z8">
  <div class="example-loading-shade"
       *ngIf="isLoadingResults">
    <mat-spinner *ngIf="isLoadingResults"></mat-spinner>
  </div>
  <mat-card class="example-card">
    <form [formGroup]="registerForm" (ngSubmit)="onFormSubmit(registerForm.value)">
      <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
        <input matInput type="fullName" placeholder="Full Name" formControlName="fullName"
                [errorStateMatcher]="matcher">
        <mat-error>
          <span *ngIf="!registerForm.get('fullName').valid && registerForm.get('fullName').touched">Please enter your Full Name</span>
        </mat-error>
      </mat-form-field>
      <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">

      <div class="button-row">
        <button type="submit" [disabled]="!registerForm.valid" mat-flat-button color="primary">Register</button>
      </div>
    </form>
  </mat-card>
</div>

Finally, open and edit `client/src/app/auth/register/register.component.scss` then replace all SCSS codes with these.

/* Structure */
.example-container {
  position: relative;
  padding: 5px;
}

.example-form {
  min-width: 150px;
  max-width: 500px;
  width: 100%;
}

.example-full-width {
  width: 100%;
}

.example-full-width:nth-last-child() {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.button-row {
  margin: 10px 0;
}

.mat-flat-button {
  margin: 5px;
}

Secure the Guarded Products Page using Angular 8 Route Guard

As we mention in the beginning that the Angular 8 application will use Angular 8 Route Guard to secure the products page. So, we have both securities for the Angular 8 page and for Spring Boot RESTful API. Type this command to generate a guard configuration file.

ng generate guard auth/auth

Open and edit that file then add this Angular 8 or Typescript imports.

import { CanActivate, ActivatedRouteSnapshot, RouterStateSnapshot, Router } from '@angular/router';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { AuthService } from '../auth.service';

Next, add this implements code to the Class name.

export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate

Inject the `AuthService` and the `Router` to the constructor params.

constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) {}

Add the function for the Route Guard.

canActivate(
  next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
  state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
  const url: string = state.url;

  return this.checkLogin(url);
}

Add the function to check the login status and redirect to the login page if it's not logged in and redirect to the Guarded page if it's logged in.

checkLogin(url: string): boolean {
  if (this.authService.isLoggedIn) { return true; }

  // Store the attempted URL for redirecting
  this.authService.redirectUrl = url;

  // Navigate to the login page with extras
  this.router.navigate(['/login']);
  return false;
}

Next, open and edit `src/app/app-routing.module.ts` then add this import.

import { AuthGuard } from './auth/auth.guard';

Modify the product path, so it will look like this.

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'products',
    canActivate: [AuthGuard],
