Auth0 with Rails API

Question

I don't have a specific technical problem, but the general problem is understanding the architecture for using Auth0 for authentication, and then using the return profile to access the rails APIs.

I use Auth0.Lock in React Native and can successfully register and log in to my React Native app and save the returned profile and token.

On the Rails side, I created an API and installed Knock ( https://github.com/nsarno/knock ) according to the instructions for implementing JWT authentication.

What I don't understand is the relationship between my user model in Rails and my database in Auth0. The Auth0 documentation or Knock documentation is unclear about how this relationship occurs.

Thanks Craig

Answer 1

I created two sample projects, the rails API and the front-end app , which illustrate the integration of auth0 in rails. I assume that the scope requirements are present in the tokens to demonstrate at the most basic level how authorization will work in such a scenario.

The interface uses AngularJS, but it basically does not matter, as the logic is very simple and can be easily rewritten in any structure.
