# Developer Note: Please Update to Amplify v6 We recommend using the Amplify JavaScript library's Auth features in place of the Amazon Cognito Identity SDK. The Amplify JavaScript library offers a modern, fully-typed, and performant experience for Auth use cases with tree-shaking built-in for bundle size reduction. ## Amazon Cognito Identity SDK and Amplify JavaScript API Mappings The following table provides the Amplify Auth APIs that can be used to satisfy Amazon Cognito Identity SDK use cases. | Amazon Cognito Identity SDK Use Case | Amplify JS Auth | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Registering a user with the application. | [Sign Up](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/enable-sign-up/#sign-up) | | Confirming a registered, unauthenticated user using a confirmation code. | [Confirm Sign Up](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/enable-sign-up/#confirm-sign-up) | | Resending a confirmation code for an unauthenticated user. | [Resend Sign Up Code](https://aws-amplify.github.io/amplify-js/api/functions/aws_amplify.auth.resendSignUpCode.html) | | Authenticating a user and establishing a user session. | [Sign In](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/enable-sign-up/#sign-in) | | Configuring an authentication flow type. | [Auth Flows](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/switch-auth/) | | Configuring persistence of auth data. | [Token Saving Mechanism](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-session/#update-your-token-saving-mechanism) | | Handling token expiration. | [Token Expiration](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-session/#refreshing-sessions) | | Retrieving user attributes for an authenticated user. | [Fetch User Attributes](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-profile/#retrieve-user-attributes) | | Updating user attributes for an authenticated user. | [Update User Attributes](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-profile/#update-user-attributes) | | Verifying a user attribute for an authenticated user. | [Confirm User Attribute](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-profile/#verify-user-attribute) | | Sending a user attribute confirmation code for an authenticated user. | [Send User Attribute Code](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-profile/#send-user-attribute-verification-code) | | Deleting user attributes for an authenticated user. | [Delete User Attributes](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-profile/#delete-user-attributes) | | Updating MFA settings for a user on a User Pool that allows MFA. | [Update MFA Preference](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-mfa/#update-the-current-users-mfa-preferences) | | Getting MFA preferences for an authenticated user. | [Fetch MFA Preference](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-mfa/#fetch-the-current-users-mfa-preferences) | | Setting up TOTP MFA. | [TOTP Setup](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-mfa/#set-up-totp-for-a-user) | | Changing the current password for an authenticated user. | [Update Password](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-passwords/#update-password) | | Starting password recovery for an unauthenticated user. | [Reset Password](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-passwords/#reset-password) | | Deleting an authenticated user. | [Delete User](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/delete-user-account/) | | Signing out from the application (including global sign out). | [Sign Out](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/enable-sign-up/#sign-out) | | Retrieving the authenticated user's session information. | [Fetch Auth Session](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/manage-user-session/#retrieve-a-user-session) | | Fetching all remembered devices for an authenticated user as a limited, paginated list. | [Fetch Devices](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/remember-device/#fetch-devices) | | Remembering the current device. | [Remember Device](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/remember-device/#remember-device) | | Forgetting a device. | [Forget Device](https://docs.amplify.aws/react/build-a-backend/auth/remember-device/#forget-device) | # Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript You can now use Amazon Cognito to easily add user sign-up and sign-in to your mobile and web apps. Your User Pool in Amazon Cognito is a fully managed user directory that can scale to hundreds of millions of users, so you don't have to worry about building, securing, and scaling a solution to handle user management and authentication. We welcome developer feedback on this project. You can reach us by creating an issue on the GitHub repository or posting to the Amazon Cognito Identity forums and the below blog post: - https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js - https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=173 - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/accessing-your-user-pools-using-the-amazon-cognito-identity-sdk-for-javascript/ For an overview of the Cognito authentication flow, refer to the following blog post: - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/customizing-your-user-pool-authentication-flow/ # Introduction The Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript allows JavaScript enabled applications to sign-up users, authenticate users, view, delete, and update user attributes within the Amazon Cognito Identity service. Other functionality includes password changes for authenticated users and initiating and completing forgot password flows for unauthenticated users. Your users will benefit from a number of security features including SMS-based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and account verification via phone or email. The password features use the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol to avoid sending cleartext passwords over the wire. # Setup There are two ways to install the Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript and its dependencies, depending on your project setup and experience with modern JavaScript build tools: - Download the bundle file from npm and include it in your HTML, or - Install the dependencies with npm and use a bundler like webpack. Note: We removed the build files in the github repo. You can use npm to download the whole package and extract the build files from it. ## Install using separate JavaScript file This method is simpler and does not require additional tools, but may have worse performance due to the browser having to download multiple files. Download the amazon-cognito-identity-js package from npm and get `amazon-cognito-identity.min.js` file from the `dist` folder. Place it in your project. Optionally, to use other AWS services, include a build of the [AWS SDK for JavaScript](http://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-browser/). Include all of the files in your HTML page before calling any Amazon Cognito Identity SDK APIs: ```html ``` ## Using NPM and Webpack Webpack is a popular JavaScript bundling and optimization tool, it has many configuration features that can build your source JavaScript into one or more files for distribution. The following is a quick setup guide with specific notes for using the Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript with it, but there are many more ways it can be used, see [the Webpack site](https://webpack.github.io/), and in particular the [configuration documentation](http://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html) Note that webpack expects your source files to be structured as [CommonJS (Node.js-style) modules](https://webpack.github.io/docs/commonjs.html) (or [ECMAScript 2015 modules](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import) if you are using a transpiler such as [Babel](https://babeljs.io/).) If your project is not already using modules you may wish to use [Webpack's module shimming features](http://webpack.github.io/docs/shimming-modules.html) to ease migration. - Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) on your development machine (this will not be needed on your server.) - In your project add a `package.json`, either use `npm init` or the minimal: ```json { "private": true } ``` - Install the Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript and the Webpack tool into your project with `npm` (the Node Package Manager, which is installed with Node.js): ``` > npm install --save-dev webpack-cli > npm install --save amazon-cognito-identity-js ``` These will add a `node_modules` directory containing these tools and dependencies into your project, you will probably want to exclude this directory from source control. Adding the `--save` parameters will update the `package.json` file with instructions on what should be installed, so you can simply call `npm install` without any parameters to recreate this folder later. - Create the configuration file for `webpack`, named `webpack.config.js`: ```js module.exports = { // Example setup for your project: // The entry module that requires or imports the rest of your project. // Must start with `./`! entry: './src/entry.js', // Place output files in `./dist/my-app.js` output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: 'my-app.js', }, }; ``` - Create the following directory where `webpack.config.js` resides, and create the entry file: ``` > mkdir -p src > touch src/entry.js ``` - Add the following into your `package.json` ```json { "scripts": { "build": "webpack" } } ``` - Build your application bundle with `npm run build` ## Install for React Native See [Using NPM and Webpack](https://github.com/aws/amazon-cognito-identity-js#using-npm-and-webpack) for more information on NPM. - Install and add to your dependencies the Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript: ``` npm install --save amazon-cognito-identity-js ``` - Install react-native-cli if you have not already: ``` npm install -g react-native-cli ``` - Link the native modules to your project: ``` react-native link amazon-cognito-identity-js ``` ## Configuration The Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript requires two configuration values from your AWS Account in order to access your Cognito User Pool: - The User Pool Id, e.g. `us-east-1_aB12cDe34` - A User Pool App Client Id, e.g. `7ghr5379orhbo88d52vphda6s9` - When creating the App, the generate client secret box must be **unchecked** because the JavaScript SDK doesn't support apps that have a client secret. The [AWS Console for Cognito User Pools](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/users/) can be used to get or create these values. If you will be using Cognito Federated Identity to provide access to your AWS resources or Cognito Sync you will also need the Id of a Cognito Identity Pool that will accept logins from the above Cognito User Pool and App, i.e. `us-east-1:85156295-afa8-482c-8933-1371f8b3b145`. Note that the various errors returned by the service are valid JSON so one can access the different exception types (err.code) and status codes (err.statusCode). ## Relevant examples For an example using babel-webpack of a React setup, see [babel-webpack example](https://github.com/aws/amazon-cognito-identity-js/tree/master/examples/babel-webpack). For a working example using angular, see [cognito-angular2-quickstart](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cognito-angular2-quickstart). For a working example using ember.js, see: - [aws-serverless-ember](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-ember). - [aws-mobilehub-ember](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-mobilehub-ember). If you are having issues when using Aurelia, please see the following [Stack Overflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39714424/how-can-i-get-the-amazon-cognito-identity-sdk-working-in-aurelia). ## Usage The usage examples below use the unqualified names for types in the Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript. Remember to import or qualify access to any of these types: ```javascript // When using loose Javascript files: var CognitoUserPool = AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool; // Modules, e.g. Webpack: var AmazonCognitoIdentity = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js'); var CognitoUserPool = AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool; // ES Modules, e.g. transpiling with Babel import { CognitoUserPool, CognitoUserAttribute, CognitoUser, } from 'amazon-cognito-identity-js'; ``` **Use case 1.** Registering a user with the application. One needs to create a CognitoUserPool object by providing a UserPoolId and a ClientId and signing up by using a username, password, attribute list, and validation data. ```javascript var poolData = { UserPoolId: '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId: '...', // Your client id here }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); var attributeList = []; var dataEmail = { Name: 'email', Value: 'email@mydomain.com', }; var dataPhoneNumber = { Name: 'phone_number', Value: '+15555555555', }; var attributeEmail = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserAttribute(dataEmail); var attributePhoneNumber = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserAttribute( dataPhoneNumber ); attributeList.push(attributeEmail); attributeList.push(attributePhoneNumber); userPool.signUp( 'username', 'password', attributeList, null, function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } var cognitoUser = result.user; console.log('user name is ' + cognitoUser.getUsername()); } ); ``` **Use case 2.** Confirming a registered, unauthenticated user using a confirmation code received via SMS. ```javascript var poolData = { UserPoolId: '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId: '...', // Your client id here }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); var userData = { Username: 'username', Pool: userPool, }; var cognitoUser = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUser(userData); cognitoUser.confirmRegistration('123456', true, function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 3.** Resending a confirmation code via SMS for confirming registration for a unauthenticated user. ```javascript cognitoUser.resendConfirmationCode(function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 4.** Authenticating a user and establishing a user session with the Amazon Cognito Identity service. ```javascript import * as AWS from 'aws-sdk/global'; var authenticationData = { Username: 'username', Password: 'password', }; var authenticationDetails = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.AuthenticationDetails( authenticationData ); var poolData = { UserPoolId: '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId: '...', // Your client id here }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); var userData = { Username: 'username', Pool: userPool, }; var cognitoUser = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUser(userData); cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, { onSuccess: function (result) { var accessToken = result.getAccessToken().getJwtToken(); //POTENTIAL: Region needs to be set if not already set previously elsewhere. AWS.config.region = ''; AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({ IdentityPoolId: '...', // your identity pool id here Logins: { // Change the key below according to the specific region your user pool is in. 'cognito-idp..amazonaws.com/': result .getIdToken() .getJwtToken(), }, }); //refreshes credentials using AWS.CognitoIdentity.getCredentialsForIdentity() AWS.config.credentials.refresh(error => { if (error) { console.error(error); } else { // Instantiate aws sdk service objects now that the credentials have been updated. // example: var s3 = new AWS.S3(); console.log('Successfully logged!'); } }); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, }); ``` Note that if device tracking is enabled for the user pool with a setting that user opt-in is required, you need to implement an onSuccess(result, userConfirmationNecessary) callback, collect user input and call either setDeviceStatusRemembered to remember the device or setDeviceStatusNotRemembered to not remember the device. Note also that if CognitoUser.authenticateUser throws ReferenceError: navigator is not defined when running on Node.js, follow the instructions on the following [Stack Overflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40219518/aws-cognito-unauthenticated-login-error-window-is-not-defined-js). **Use case 5.** Retrieve user attributes for an authenticated user. ```javascript cognitoUser.getUserAttributes(function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } for (i = 0; i < result.length; i++) { console.log( 'attribute ' + result[i].getName() + ' has value ' + result[i].getValue() ); } }); ``` **Use case 6.** Verify user attribute for an authenticated user. Note that the inputVerificationCode method needs to be defined but does not need to actually do anything. If you would like the user to input the verification code on another page, you can set inputVerificationCode to null. If inputVerificationCode is null, onSuccess will be called immediately (assuming there is no error). ```javascript cognitoUser.getAttributeVerificationCode('email', { onSuccess: function (result) { console.log('call result: ' + result); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, inputVerificationCode: function () { var verificationCode = prompt('Please input verification code: ', ''); cognitoUser.verifyAttribute('email', verificationCode, this); }, }); ``` **Use case 7.** Delete user attribute for an authenticated user. ```javascript var attributeList = []; attributeList.push('nickname'); cognitoUser.deleteAttributes(attributeList, function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 8.** Update user attributes for an authenticated user. ```javascript var attributeList = []; var attribute = { Name: 'nickname', Value: 'joe', }; var attribute = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserAttribute(attribute); attributeList.push(attribute); cognitoUser.updateAttributes(attributeList, function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 9.** Enabling MFA for a user on a pool that has an optional MFA setting for an authenticated user. Note: this method is now deprecated. Please use `setUserMfaPreference` instead. ```javascript cognitoUser.enableMFA(function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 10.** Disabling MFA for a user on a pool that has an optional MFA setting for an authenticated user. Note: this method is now deprecated. Please use `setUserMfaPreference` instead. ```javascript cognitoUser.disableMFA(function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 11.** Changing the current password for an authenticated user. ```javascript cognitoUser.changePassword( 'oldPassword', 'newPassword', function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); } ); ``` **Use case 12.** Starting and completing a forgot password flow for an unauthenticated user. For example: ```html Code:
New Password:
``` ```javascript cognitoUser.forgotPassword({ onSuccess: function (data) { // successfully initiated reset password request console.log('CodeDeliveryData from forgotPassword: ' + data); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, //Optional automatic callback inputVerificationCode: function (data) { console.log('Code sent to: ' + data); var verificationCode = document.getElementById('code').value; var newPassword = document.getElementById('new_password').value; cognitoUser.confirmPassword(verificationCode, newPassword, { onSuccess() { console.log('Password confirmed!'); }, onFailure(err) { console.log('Password not confirmed!'); }, }); }, }); ``` **Use case 13.** Deleting an authenticated user. ```javascript cognitoUser.deleteUser(function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('call result: ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 14.** Signing out from the application. ```javascript cognitoUser.signOut(); ``` **Use case 15.** Global signout for an authenticated user(invalidates all issued tokens). ```javascript cognitoUser.globalSignOut(callback); ``` **Use case 16 with React Native.** In React Native, loading the persisted current user information requires an extra async call to be made: ```javascript var poolData = { UserPoolId: '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId: '...', // Your client id here }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); userPool.storage.sync(function (err, result) { if (err) { } else if (result === 'SUCCESS') { var cognitoUser = userPool.getCurrentUser(); // Continue with steps in Use case 16 } }); ``` **Use case 16.** Retrieving the current user from local storage. ```javascript var poolData = { UserPoolId: '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId: '...', // Your client id here }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); var cognitoUser = userPool.getCurrentUser(); if (cognitoUser != null) { cognitoUser.getSession(function (err, session) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('session validity: ' + session.isValid()); // NOTE: getSession must be called to authenticate user before calling getUserAttributes cognitoUser.getUserAttributes(function (err, attributes) { if (err) { // Handle error } else { // Do something with attributes } }); AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({ IdentityPoolId: '...', // your identity pool id here Logins: { // Change the key below according to the specific region your user pool is in. 'cognito-idp..amazonaws.com/': session .getIdToken() .getJwtToken(), }, }); // Instantiate aws sdk service objects now that the credentials have been updated. // example: var s3 = new AWS.S3(); }); } ``` **Use case 17.** Integrating User Pools with Cognito Identity. ```javascript var cognitoUser = userPool.getCurrentUser(); if (cognitoUser != null) { cognitoUser.getSession(function (err, result) { if (result) { console.log('You are now logged in.'); //POTENTIAL: Region needs to be set if not already set previously elsewhere. AWS.config.region = ''; // Add the User's Id Token to the Cognito credentials login map. AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({ IdentityPoolId: 'YOUR_IDENTITY_POOL_ID', Logins: { 'cognito-idp..amazonaws.com/': result .getIdToken() .getJwtToken(), }, }); } }); } //call refresh method in order to authenticate user and get new temp credentials AWS.config.credentials.refresh(error => { if (error) { console.error(error); } else { console.log('Successfully logged!'); } }); ``` _note that you can not replace the login key with a variable because it will be interpreted literally. if you want to use a variable, the resolution to [issue 17](https://github.com/aws/amazon-cognito-identity-js/issues/162) has a working example_ **Use case 18.** List all remembered devices for an authenticated user. In this case, we need to pass a limit on the number of devices retrieved at a time and a pagination token is returned to make subsequent calls. The pagination token can be subsequently passed. When making the first call, the pagination token should be null. ```javascript cognitoUser.listDevices(limit, paginationToken, { onSuccess: function (result) { console.log('call result: ' + result); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message); }, }); ``` **Use case 19.** List information about the current device. ```javascript cognitoUser.getDevice({ onSuccess: function (result) { console.log('call result: ' + result); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, }); ``` **Use case 20.** Remember a device. ```javascript cognitoUser.setDeviceStatusRemembered({ onSuccess: function (result) { console.log('call result: ' + result); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, }); ``` **Use case 21.** Do not remember a device. ```javascript cognitoUser.setDeviceStatusNotRemembered({ onSuccess: function (result) { console.log('call result: ' + result); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, }); ``` **Use case 22.** Forget the current device. ```javascript cognitoUser.forgetDevice({ onSuccess: function (result) { console.log('call result: ' + result); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, }); ``` **Use case 23.** Authenticate a user and set new password for a user that was created using AdminCreateUser API. ```javascript var cognitoUser, sessionUserAttributes; // global variables to handle completeNewPasswordChallenge flow // ... cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, { onSuccess: function (result) { // User authentication was successful }, onFailure: function(err) { // User authentication was not successful }, mfaRequired: function(codeDeliveryDetails) { // MFA is required to complete user authentication. // Get the code from user and call cognitoUser.sendMFACode(mfaCode, this) }, newPasswordRequired: function(userAttributes, requiredAttributes) { // User was signed up by an admin and must provide new // password and required attributes, if any, to complete // authentication. // the api doesn't accept this field back delete userAttributes.email_verified; // store userAttributes on global variable sessionUserAttributes = userAttributes; } }); // ... handle new password flow on your app handleNewPassword(newPassword) { cognitoUser.completeNewPasswordChallenge(newPassword, sessionUserAttributes); } ``` **Use case 24.** Retrieve the MFA settings for the user. ```javascript cognitoUser.getUserData((err, data) => { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } const { PreferredMfaSetting, UserMFASettingList } = data; console.log( JSON.stringify({ PreferredMfaSetting, UserMFASettingList }, null, 2) ); }); ``` E.g. ```json { "PreferredMfaSetting": "SMS_MFA", "UserMFASettingList": ["SMS_MFA"] } ``` **Use case 25.** Authenticating a user with a passwordless custom flow. ```javascript cognitoUser.setAuthenticationFlowType('CUSTOM_AUTH'); cognitoUser.initiateAuth(authenticationDetails, { onSuccess: function (result) { // User authentication was successful }, onFailure: function (err) { // User authentication was not successful }, customChallenge: function (challengeParameters) { // User authentication depends on challenge response var challengeResponses = 'challenge-answer'; cognitoUser.sendCustomChallengeAnswer(challengeResponses, this); }, }); ``` **Use case 26.** Using cookies to store cognito tokens To use the CookieStorage you have to pass it in the constructor map of CognitoUserPool and CognitoUser (when constructed directly): ```js var poolData = { UserPoolId : '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId : '...' // Your client id here Storage: new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CookieStorage({domain: ".yourdomain.com"}) // Subdomains are included }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); var userData = { Username: 'username', Pool: userPool, Storage: new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CookieStorage({domain: ".yourdomain.com"}) }; ``` The CookieStorage object receives a map (data) in its constructor that may have these values: - data.domain Cookies domain (default: domain of the page where the cookie was created, excluding subdomains) - data.path Cookies path (default: '/') - data.expires Cookie expiration (in days, default: 365) - data.secure Cookie secure flag (default: true) - data.sameSite Cookie request behaviour (default: null) **Use case 27.** Selecting the MFA method and authenticating using TOTP. ```js var authenticationData = { Username: 'username', Password: 'password', }; var authenticationDetails = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.AuthenticationDetails( authenticationData ); var poolData = { UserPoolId: '...', // Your user pool id here ClientId: '...', // Your client id here }; var userPool = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUserPool(poolData); var userData = { Username: 'username', Pool: userPool, }; var cognitoUser = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.CognitoUser(userData); cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, { onSuccess: function (result) { var accessToken = result.getAccessToken().getJwtToken(); }, onFailure: function (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); }, mfaSetup: function (challengeName, challengeParameters) { cognitoUser.associateSoftwareToken(this); }, associateSecretCode: function (secretCode) { var challengeAnswer = prompt('Please input the TOTP code.', ''); cognitoUser.verifySoftwareToken(challengeAnswer, 'My TOTP device', this); }, selectMFAType: function (challengeName, challengeParameters) { var mfaType = prompt('Please select the MFA method.', ''); // valid values for mfaType is "SMS_MFA", "SOFTWARE_TOKEN_MFA" cognitoUser.sendMFASelectionAnswer(mfaType, this); }, totpRequired: function (secretCode) { var challengeAnswer = prompt('Please input the TOTP code.', ''); cognitoUser.sendMFACode(challengeAnswer, this, 'SOFTWARE_TOKEN_MFA'); }, mfaRequired: function (codeDeliveryDetails) { var verificationCode = prompt('Please input verification code', ''); cognitoUser.sendMFACode(verificationCode, this); }, }); ``` **Use case 28.** Enabling and setting SMS MFA as the preferred MFA method for the user. ```js var smsMfaSettings = { PreferredMfa: true, Enabled: true, }; cognitoUser.setUserMfaPreference(smsMfaSettings, null, function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); } console.log('call result ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 29.** Enabling and setting TOTP MFA as the preferred MFA method for the user. ```js var totpMfaSettings = { PreferredMfa: true, Enabled: true, }; cognitoUser.setUserMfaPreference(null, totpMfaSettings, function (err, result) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); } console.log('call result ' + result); }); ``` **Use case 30.** Authenticating a user with a user password auth flow. ```js cognitoUser.setAuthenticationFlowType('USER_PASSWORD_AUTH'); cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, { onSuccess: function (result) { // User authentication was successful }, onFailure: function (err) { // User authentication was not successful }, mfaRequired: function (codeDeliveryDetails) { // MFA is required to complete user authentication. // Get the code from user and call cognitoUser.sendMFACode(verificationCode, this); }, }); ``` **Use case 31.** Retrieve the user data for an authenticated user. ```js cognitoUser.getUserData(function (err, userData) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('User data for user ' + userData); }); // If you want to force to get the user data from backend, // you can set the bypassCache to true cognitoUser.getUserData( function (err, userData) { if (err) { alert(err.message || JSON.stringify(err)); return; } console.log('User data for user ' + userData); }, { bypassCache: true } ); ``` **Use case 32.** Handling expiration of the Id Token. ```js var refresh_token = session.getRefreshToken(); // receive session from calling cognitoUser.getSession() if (AWS.config.credentials.needsRefresh()) { cognitoUser.refreshSession(refresh_token, (err, session) => { if (err) { console.log(err); } else { AWS.config.credentials.params.Logins[ 'cognito-idp..amazonaws.com/' ] = session.getIdToken().getJwtToken(); AWS.config.credentials.refresh(err => { if (err) { console.log(err); } else { console.log('TOKEN SUCCESSFULLY UPDATED'); } }); } }); } ``` ## Network Configuration The Amazon Cognito Identity JavaScript SDK will make requests to the following endpoints - For Amazon Cognito User Pool service request handling: "https://cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com" - This endpoint may change based on which region your Cognito User Pool was created in. For most frameworks you can whitelist the domain by whitelisting all AWS endpoints with "\*.amazonaws.com". ## Random numbers In order to authenticate with the Amazon Cognito User Pool Service, the client needs to generate a random number as part of the SRP protocol. The AWS SDK is only compatible with modern browsers, and these include [support for cryptographically strong random values](https://caniuse.com/#feat=cryptography). If you do need to support older browsers then you should include a strong polyfill for `window.crypto.getRandomValues()` before including this library. ## Change Log Latest change logs have been moved to [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md). **v2.0.2:** - What has changed - To make a new version for NPM package sync with Github repo. **v2.0.1:** - What has changed - Added migration lambda trigger support. **v1.31.0:** - What has changed - Added lib folder. **v1.30.0:** - What has changed - Temporary fix to lock down the AWS SDK version to a compatible one. **v1.29.0:** - What has changed - Fixing verify software token call to work with access token. **v1.28.0:** - What has changed - Not sending UserContextData if it is not available. **v1.27.0:** - What has changed - Added support for TOTP and new MFA settings APIs. **v1.26.0:** - What has changed - Fixed typescript typings. **v1.25.0:** - What has changed - Added cookie storage support and solved bug related to clock drift parsing. **v1.24.0:** - What has changed - Fixed bug related to missing callback **v1.23.0:** - What has changed - Added react native optimizations for BigInteger **v1.19.0:** - What has changed - Added UserSub return on sign up **v1.18.0:** - What has changed - Added missing result in resendConfirmationCode. **v1.17.0:** - What has changed - Added non-minified files. **v1.16.0:** - What has changed - Brought in JSBN and updated Notice file. **v1.15.0:** - What has changed - Solved an issue that occurred rarely related to the padding of the U value that is used in computing the HKDF. **v1.14.0:** - What has changed - Importing only the CognitoIdentityServiceProvider client and util from the AWS SDK. **v1.13.0:** - What has changed - Removed SJCL as a dependency and fixed typescript typings. **v1.12.0:** - What has changed - Added typescript typings. **v1.11.0:** - What has changed - Added challenge parameters to the mfaRequired function of the return object. **v1.10.0:** - What has changed - Clearing tokens when they have been revoked and adding retrieval for MFAOptions. **v1.9.0:** - What has changed - Fixed dependency on local storage.
