Andrea Chiarelli: Mitigating the headaches of Blazor auth
Blazor web applications built with .NET 8 need extra work to use authentication and authorization correctly.
Principal developer advocate Andrea Chiarelli wants to reduce the pain of that extra work.?
In November 2023, Microsoft released .NET 8. The release included new powerful features for the Blazor web application framework, which improved some aspects of the earlier version but added complexity to authentication and authorization.
The guidance from Microsoft didn't clarify how to correctly integrate auth in the new version, and developers were frustrated. In January,? in response to this issue, Andrea wrote an article on how to add (Auth0) authentication to a modern Blazor app . That post received a lot of positive feedback, and further requests for guidance.
Earlier this month, Andrea published a blog post about calling an API from a Blazor web app, and how to work through the tricky bits that you need to get right.? Check out these workarounds, and struggle no more.
Andrea is based in Pisa, Italy; he has over 20 years experience as a software engineer and technical writer. These days Andrea focuses on helping .NET developers implement identity with Auth0. You can keep up with his writing, talks, and other activities here.
Laravel developers rejoice: Dev Center has you covered
PHP has been around since the last century, and over the years has been surpassed in popularity by newer programming languages. Nevertheless, PHP powers the open source CMS WordPress, and WordPress still powers 75-80% of websites on the internet. That's a whole lot of logins. Laravel is the most popular PHP framework by a strong margin (according to data from the early 2020s). At Auth0, we aim to meet the needs of PHP developers everywhere, whether they are running WordPress blogs or financial institutions. We're glad to be shipping these guides and code samples as Auth0 Developer Center resources.?

From the forefront of fine-grained authorization?(FGA)
Okta's Fine Grained Authorization team shipped two new features this month for Okta FGA and OpenFGA:
Modular models: Okta FGA now enables you to compose an authorization model from multiple modules.? The ability to split your authorization module across multiple files and modules addresses some of the scaling, readability, and ownership challenges that implementers may face when operating an authorization model within a company. Modular models can be structured and organized in a way that makes sense for the project or collaborating teams.
OpenFGA Spring Boot Starter: If Java is your jam and Spring is your framework, you'll want to check out the open-source OpenFGA Spring Boot Starter. If you like how it helps you, leave us a GitHub star.
?? Google Zanzibar & ReBAC: Everything you need to know - a video conversation with Dr. Rohit Khare, formerly with Google Zanzibar, and Jonathan Whitaker, from Auth0's FGA team, hosted by Or Weis, from Permit.io.?
React UI components from Auth0 Labs
Reusable UI components improve productivity for developers who are building front-ends, whether for internal admin tooling or user-facing customer management.?
To help you ship Auth0 apps quickly, or more easily integrate your project with Auth0, the team is developing Auth0Lab UI Components. ?If you're using Next.js, the library comes packed with helpers that provide backend functionality for components that need it.?
We'll let you know as soon as we're live.
The first version of the Auth0Lab UI Components for React developers will include the following four components:??UserProfile, UserButton, OrganizationButton, CreateOrganization
What should come next? We're seeking input from front-end developers on what would be useful, in terms of functionality and framework. Please comment here to share your thoughts on these two questions:?
Thank you for reading to the end! Need something to smile about? Here's a quick video that might make you laugh out loud (even if you've already seen it).
Got questions or feedback? Leave a comment. We'd love to hear from you!
Warm regards,
The Auth0 DevRel Team
