Angular Dynamic Components Example

December 6, 2021 ยท View on GitHub

This respository shows you how to load dynamic components in Angular and show components conditionally based on user claims. Please read Loading Components Dynamically in Angular to see how it was created.

Prerequisites

  • Node 14
  • Okta CLI

Okta has Authentication and User Management APIs that reduce development time with instant-on, scalable user infrastructure. Okta's intuitive API and expert support make it easy for developers to authenticate, manage and secure users and roles in any application.

Getting Started

To run this example, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/oktadev/okta-angular-dynamic-components-example.git
cd okta-angular-dynamic-components-example
npm ci

Create an OIDC Application in Okta

Create a free developer account with the following command using the Okta CLI:

okta register

If you already have a developer account, use okta login to integrate it with the Okta CLI.

Provide the required information. Once you register, create a client application in Okta with the following command:

okta apps create

You will be prompted to select the following options:

  • Type of Application: 2: SPA
  • Redirect URI: http://localhost:4200/login/callback
  • Logout Redirect URI: http://localhost:4200

The application configuration will be printed to your screen:

Okta application configuration:
Issuer:    https://<OKTA_DOMAIN>.okta.com/oauth2/default
Client ID: <CLIENT_ID>

In Okta dashboard, navigate to Directory > People and populate "department" field for your user with either a 1 or 2. Navigate to Security > API and add "department" custom claim to your application Authorization Server ID token by mapping it to user.profile.department. The tutorial walks you through this process.

Update src/app/app.module.ts with your Okta settings.

const config = {
  clientId: '{yourClientID}',
  issuer: 'https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default',
  redirectUri: window.location.origin + '/login/callback'
}
const oktaAuth = new OktaAuth(config);

Start the app by running

npm start

Run tests by running

npm run test
