## Overview
|
|
|
|
[NestJS](https://nestjs.com) is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications using [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org). This example demonstrates how to integrate **Zitadel** using the **[OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/)** to authenticate users securely and maintain sessions across your NestJS application.
|
|
|
|
#### Auth library
|
|
|
|
This example uses **[@auth/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@auth/core)**, the core authentication library powering [Auth.js](https://authjs.dev), which implements the [OpenID Connect (OIDC)](https://openid.net/connect/) flow, manages [PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/), performs token exchange, and exposes helpers for [session state](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/login-users). The example integrates this through the **[@mridang/nestjs-auth](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mridang/nestjs-auth)** [NestJS module](https://docs.nestjs.com/modules), which provides [decorators](https://docs.nestjs.com/custom-decorators), [guards](https://docs.nestjs.com/guards), and middleware for seamless authentication within the NestJS ecosystem.

## What this example demonstrates
|
|
|
|
This example implements a complete authentication flow using [PKCE](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) with [Zitadel](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) with [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) as the identity provider. Users begin on a public landing page and click a login button to authenticate through Zitadel's authorization server. After successful authentication, they're redirected to a protected profile page displaying their user information retrieved from the [ID token](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) with [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) as the identity provider. Users begin on a public landing page and click a login button to authenticate through Zitadel's authorization server. After successful authentication, they're redirected to a protected profile page displaying their user information retrieved from the [ID token](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims) and [access token](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#token_endpoint).
|
|
|
|
The application leverages [NestJS controllers](https://docs.nestjs.com/controllers) to handle authentication routes and [@mridang/nestjs-auth guards](https://docs.nestjs.com/controllers) to handle authentication routes and [@mridang/nestjs-auth guards](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mridang/nestjs-auth) to protect routes requiring authentication. [Session management](https://docs.nestjs.com/controllers) to handle authentication routes and [@mridang/nestjs-auth guards](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mridang/nestjs-auth) to protect routes requiring authentication. [Session management](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/login-users) is handled through encrypted [JWT-based sessions](https://docs.nestjs.com/controllers) to handle authentication routes and [@mridang/nestjs-auth guards](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mridang/nestjs-auth) to protect routes requiring authentication. [Session management](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/login-users) is handled through encrypted [JWT-based sessions](https://authjs.dev/concepts/session-strategies#jwt-session) stored in secure, HTTP-only cookies. The example includes automatic [token refresh](https://docs.nestjs.com/controllers) to handle authentication routes and [@mridang/nestjs-auth guards](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mridang/nestjs-auth) to protect routes requiring authentication. [Session management](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/login-users) is handled through encrypted [JWT-based sessions](https://authjs.dev/concepts/session-strategies#jwt-session) stored in secure, HTTP-only cookies. The example includes automatic [token refresh](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/grant-types#refresh-token) functionality using [refresh tokens](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/), ensuring users maintain their sessions without interruption when access tokens expire.

|
|
The logout implementation demonstrates [federated logout](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/logout) by redirecting users to Zitadel's end-session endpoint, terminating both the local application session and the Zitadel session. [CSRF protection](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/logout) by redirecting users to Zitadel's end-session endpoint, terminating both the local application session and the Zitadel session. [CSRF protection](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf) during logout is achieved through a state parameter validated in the callback. The example also showcases accessing Zitadel's [UserInfo endpoint](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#userinfo_endpoint) to fetch real-time user data, including [custom claims](https://oauth.net/2/pkce/) with [Zitadel](https://zitadel.com/docs) as the identity provider. Users begin on a public landing page and click a login button to authenticate through Zitadel's authorization server. After successful authentication, they're redirected to a protected profile page displaying their user information retrieved from the [ID token](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims), [roles](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/login/oidc/logout) by redirecting users to Zitadel's end-session endpoint, terminating both the local application session and the Zitadel session. [CSRF protection](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf) during logout is achieved through a state parameter validated in the callback. The example also showcases accessing Zitadel's [UserInfo endpoint](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/endpoints#userinfo-endpoint) to fetch real-time user data, including [custom claims](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims), [roles](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/roles), and organization membership.
|
|
|
|
All protected routes are secured using the [@mridang/nestjs-auth global guard](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mridang/nestjs-auth), with the `@Public()` decorator marking routes that don't require authentication. The application uses [Handlebars templates](https://handlebarsjs.com) for server-side rendering and [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com) for styling, providing a complete reference implementation for NestJS developers.

## Getting started
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before running this example, you need to create and configure a PKCE application in the [ZITADEL Management Console](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/overview). Follow the PKCE application setup guide to:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new Web application in your [Zitadel project](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/projects)
|
|
2. Configure it to use the PKCE authentication method
|
|
3. Set up your redirect URIs (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/auth/callback` for development)
|
|
4. Configure post-logout redirect URIs (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/auth/logout/callback`)
|
|
5. Copy your **Client ID** for use in the next steps
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Make sure to enable **Dev Mode** in the [ZITADEL Management Console](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/overview) if you're using HTTP URLs during local development. For production, always use HTTPS URLs and disable Dev Mode.
|
|
|
|
### Run the example
|
|
|
|
Once you have your Zitadel application configured:
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the [repository](https://github.com/zitadel/example-auth-nestjs).
|
|
2. Create a `.env` file in the project root and configure it with the values from your [Zitadel application](https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/manage/console/applications). **Use the exact environment variable names from the repository:**
|
|
```
|
|
NODE_ENV=development
|
|
PORT=3000
|
|
|
|
SESSION_SECRET=your-very-secret-and-strong-session-key
|
|
SESSION_SALT=your-cryptographic-salt
|
|
SESSION_DURATION=3600
|
|
|
|
ZITADEL_DOMAIN=https://your-instance.zitadel.cloud
|
|
ZITADEL_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_from_console
|
|
ZITADEL_CLIENT_SECRET=your_randomly_generated_secret
|
|
ZITADEL_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:3000/auth/callback
|
|
ZITADEL_POST_LOGIN_URL=/profile
|
|
ZITADEL_POST_LOGOUT_URL=http://localhost:3000/auth/logout/callback
|
|
```
|
|
Replace these values with:
|
|
- Your actual Zitadel instance URL (the **Issuer**)
|
|
- The **Client ID** you copied when creating the application
|
|
- A randomly generated **Client Secret** (generate using: `node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"`)
|
|
- A secure **Session Secret** (generate using the same command)
|
|
- A cryptographic **Session Salt** for cookie encryption
|
|
- The **redirect URI** you configured in the PKCE setup (must match exactly)
|
|
- The **post-logout redirect URI** for the logout callback
|
|
3. Install dependencies using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com) and start the development server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
The application will be running at `http://localhost:3000`. Visit the URL to verify the authentication flow end-to-end.
