Auth for NestJS and Fastify

[anteqkois]

Is there any way to add auth layer for this configuration? I have tried middleware and npm packages for basic auth but they don't work. With middlewares, there is probably an issue with resolving paths. So now, I don't find any way to add secure auth layer ://

Did you checked the examples folder?

@anteqkois Did you manage to set up the authentication?

Hi @felixmosh the example directory seem to have code for ExpressAdapter but not for FastifyAdapter. I'm also trying to implement auth for bullboard. Is there any reference for auth with Nest+Fastify?

Thanks for the awesome library.

Nope, I don't have secret examples that are not in the examples folder 😅

I'm also struggling trying to figure out how to add Authentication via the Nest.js Module approach.

For now, I'm just disabling the access of bull board UI in Nginx and access it with ssh and port forwarded to my local. It's a bit cumbersome but works.

@felixmosh can you reopen this? There is a real need for an example of using Bull Board with NestJS. At the very least this issue can be a call for someone to provide such an example. I've been struggling with this for the past few hours, and there is a lot to understand between Bull Board, NestJS, Passport (most likely), and the underlying server adapter (e.g., Express or Fastify).

I understand most of these components individually. Putting them together is proving more difficult than I anticipated. An example would go a long way toward saving many others hours of effort.

Edit: Now that I've dug into the code itself, it seems that BullBoardRootModule bypasses NestJS app guards altogether:

bull-board/packages/nestjs/src/bull-board.root-module.ts

Lines 27 to 41 in eac5169

	if (isExpressAdapter(this.adapter)) {
	return consumer
	.apply(this.options.middleware, this.adapter.getRouter())
	.forRoutes(this.options.route);
	}
	if (isFastifyAdapter(this.adapter)) {
	this.adapterHost.httpAdapter
	.getInstance()
	.register(this.adapter.registerPlugin(), { prefix });
	return consumer
	.apply(this.options.middleware)
	.forRoutes(this.options.route);
	}

We effectively need to treat this as a separate middleware that exists almost entirely outside of the NestJS framework.

@clintonb do you have any improvment for the Nest.js adapter?
(I'm not familier with Nest.js at all, therefore, I relay on contribution)
