Since Bolt.new AI does not have terminal access, you need to modify your project's package configuration to include the Okta dependency. Open your package.json
file (create one if it doesn’t exist) and add the dependency for Okta’s authentication library. Paste the code snippet below into your file:
{
"name": "bolt-okta-integration",
"version": "1.0.0",
"dependencies": {
"@okta/okta-auth-js": "^7.3.0"
}
}
If your project already has a package.json
file, simply add the key-value pair for "@okta/okta-auth-js" inside the "dependencies" object.
In your project’s file structure, create a new file named OktaConfig.ts
. This file will store your Okta credentials and configuration details. Replace YOURCLIENTID
and YOUROKTADOMAIN
with your actual Okta information.
export const oktaConfig = {
clientId: 'YOURCLIENTID',
issuer: 'https://YOUROKTADOMAIN/oauth2/default'
};
Place this file in the root directory of your project or in a designated configuration folder if you have one.
Next, create a new file named OktaAuth.ts
in your project. This file will import the Okta SDK and use your configuration to create an authentication instance. It also contains a helper function to sign in a user.
import { OktaAuth } from '@okta/okta-auth-js';
import { oktaConfig } from './OktaConfig';
export const oktaAuth = new OktaAuth({
clientId: oktaConfig.clientId,
issuer: oktaConfig.issuer,
});
export async function signIn(username: string, password: string): Promise<string | void> {
try {
const transaction = await oktaAuth.signIn({ username, password });
if (transaction.status === 'SUCCESS') {
return transaction.sessionToken;
} else {
throw new Error('Authentication did not succeed');
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during sign in:', error);
}
}
Ensure this file is saved in the same folder as OktaConfig.ts
or update the import paths accordingly.
Identify the main TypeScript file for your Bolt.new AI project (commonly something like index.ts
or your main script file). Insert the following code snippet to integrate Okta authentication. This example demonstrates how to call the sign-in function and handle its response. Replace the hard-coded username and password with values from your user input mechanism when ready.
import { signIn } from './OktaAuth';
async function handleSignIn() {
// Replace the following hard-coded values with your user input collection method
const username = '[email protected]';
const password = 'password123';
const sessionToken = await signIn(username, password);
if (sessionToken) {
console.log('User authenticated successfully. Session token:', sessionToken);
// Proceed with the session token, for example, by exchanging it for an access token
} else {
console.log('Authentication failed.');
}
}
// Call the handleSignIn function as needed, for example when a login button is clicked
handleSignIn();
Place this integration code into your main file where you manage user sessions or authentication flows.
Since Bolt.new AI automatically handles file changes, after saving the modified files you can simulate a user login to view the authentication flow. Open your application, trigger the handleSignIn
function (for example, by clicking on a designated login button if you have one), and check the console output for the session token or error messages.
By following these steps, your Bolt.new AI project will integrate Okta authentication using TypeScript.
