Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions 10.0.8

Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions

Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions contains the shared contracts and models used by the Authentication/Social packages.

It is the common .NET vocabulary between:

• Rystem.Authentication.Social
• Rystem.Authentication.Social.Blazor

The TypeScript client mirrors many of the same concepts, but it does not consume this package directly.

Installation

dotnet add package Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions

What this package adds

The core public types are:

• ProviderType
• ISocialUser
• ILocalizedSocialUser
• TokenResponse
• TokenCheckerSettings
• RystemClaimTypes

ProviderType

ProviderType identifies the server-side token checker to use.

Current values are:

• DotNet
• Google
• Microsoft
• Facebook
• GitHub
• Amazon
• Linkedin
• X
• Instagram
• Pinterest
• TikTok

Important note: DotNet is not a social provider. It is the internal provider used when refreshing bearer tokens that were already issued by the server package.

ISocialUser

ISocialUser is the minimum user contract across the stack.

public interface ISocialUser
{
 string? Username { get; set; }
}

The interface also exposes static helpers in the current implementation:

• ISocialUser.Empty
• ISocialUser.OnlyUsername(username)

Those helpers are used by the server package when no custom ISocialUserProvider is present.

ILocalizedSocialUser

ILocalizedSocialUser extends ISocialUser with:

string? Language { get; set; }

This matters mainly for the Blazor package, where the login flow can persist a language choice and feed the localization middleware.

TokenResponse

TokenResponse is the normalized result of a successful provider check inside the server package.

public sealed class TokenResponse
{
 public required string Username { get; set; }
 public required List<Claim> Claims { get; set; }
}

Important detail: TokenResponse.Empty is currently just null.

TokenCheckerSettings

TokenCheckerSettings carries request context from the token endpoint into a provider-specific token checker.

public sealed class TokenCheckerSettings
{
 public string? Domain { get; set; }
 public string? RedirectPath { get; set; }
 public Dictionary<string, string>? AdditionalParameters { get; set; }
}

Use cases:

• Domain comes from Origin or Referer
• RedirectPath lets a client communicate the callback path it used
• AdditionalParameters carries provider-specific extras such as PKCE code_verifier

Helper methods:

• GetRedirectUri() combines Domain and RedirectPath
• GetParameter(key) reads from AdditionalParameters
• WithParameter(key, value) appends a parameter fluently

Example:

var settings = new TokenCheckerSettings
{
 Domain = "https://app.example.com",
 RedirectPath = "/account/login"
}.WithParameter("code_verifier", verifier);

string redirectUri = settings.GetRedirectUri();

RystemClaimTypes

This package currently defines one custom claim constant:

• RystemClaimTypes.Language

It is intended for language values such as en, it, or es and is used by the sample social user provider plus the Blazor localization flow.

Important caveats

This package is shared-model oriented, not truly dependency-minimal

Even though it is called Abstractions, its project file currently references token and OIDC-related packages. So it is not a pure POCO-only dependency.

DotNet is easy to misunderstand

If you see ProviderType.DotNet, think refresh-token reuse inside the server package, not an external login provider.

Grounded by source files

• src/Authentication/Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions/Models/ProviderType.cs
• src/Authentication/Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions/Models/ISocialUser.cs
• src/Authentication/Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions/Models/ILocalizedSocialUser.cs
• src/Authentication/Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions/Models/TokenResponse.cs
• src/Authentication/Rystem.Authentication.Social.Abstractions/Models/TokenCheckerSettings.cs

Use this package when you need the shared Authentication/Social contracts without taking a dependency on the full server or Blazor runtime package.
