Nedo.AspNet.Authentication.GitHub
"Sign in with GitHub" — backend OAuth code-exchange flow with a popup + postMessage round-trip back to the SPA. Supports github.com and self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server. Your app mints its own JWTs after verifying the GitHub identity.
Install
dotnet add package Nedo.AspNet.Authentication.GitHub
Quickstart
using Nedo.AspNet.Authentication.GitHub;
builder.Services.AddGitHub(opts =>
{
opts.ClientId = builder.Configuration["GitHub:ClientId"]!;
opts.ClientSecret = builder.Configuration["GitHub:ClientSecret"]!;
opts.FrontendOrigin = "https://app.example.com"; // popup → postMessage target
});
var app = builder.Build();
app.MapLocalAuth();
app.MapLocalAccount();
app.MapGitHubAuth();
// → GET /auth/github/start?intent=signin opens GitHub authorize page in popup
// → GET /auth/github/callback exchanges code, mints session, postMessage's
// the result back to opener and closes the popup
Frontend (SPA)
The popup flow is fully backend-driven — the SPA just opens the URL and listens for the postMessage:
const popup = window.open(`${API}/auth/github/start?intent=signin`, 'github-signin', 'width=500,height=700');
window.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
if (e.origin !== API_ORIGIN) return;
if (e.data?.type !== 'oauth-result') return;
if (e.data.ok) {
// e.data.payload is TokenResponse | PendingProfile
// …
} else {
// e.data.payload is { code, message }
}
}, { once: true });
The popup closes itself after posting the result.
GitHub Enterprise Server
opts.ServerUrl = "https://github.mycorp.example.com"; // omit for github.com
Everything else is identical. The package builds the OAuth URLs from ServerUrl and validates the resulting access token against the same instance.
Console setup
- https://github.com/settings/developers → OAuth Apps → New OAuth App.
- Authorization callback URL —
https://api.example.com/auth/github/callback(andhttp://localhost:5050/auth/github/callbackfor dev). - Copy the Client ID + generate a Client Secret.
For Enterprise Server, register the OAuth app under that instance's Settings → Developer settings.
