Installation

1. Install the plugin:

npm install @devx-commerce/passwordless

2. Add the plugin to your medusa-config.js:

{
  resolve: "@medusajs/medusa/auth",
  options: {
    providers: [
      {
        resolve: `@devx-commerce/passwordless/providers/passwordless`,
        id: "passwordless",
        options: {
          jwtSecret: "secret",              // JWT secret for token generation

          limeChatOptions: {
            webhookUrl: process.env.LIMECHAT_WEBHOOK_URL,
            typeId: process.env.LIMECHAT_TYPE_ID,
          },

          // Optional configuration
          codeLength: 6,                    // Length of verification code (default: 4)
          codeExpiryMinutes: 10,            // Code expiration time in minutes (default: 15)
          maxAttempts: 5,                   // Maximum verification attempts (default: 3)
          smsRateLimitMinutes: 5,           // Time between SMS requests in minutes (default: 10)
          blockDurationMinutes: 10,         // Block duration after max attempts in minutes (default: 5)

        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Configuration Options

Security Settings

• codeLength: Length of verification code (default: 4)
• codeExpiryMinutes: Code expiration time in minutes (default: 3)
• maxAttempts: Maximum verification attempts (default: 3)
• smsRateLimitMinutes: Time between SMS requests in minutes (default: 10)
• blockDurationMinutes: Block duration after max attempts in minutes (default: 5)

How It Works

1. Authentication Flow:

   • User provides phone number
   • System generates a secure verification code
   • User enters the code to complete authentication

2. Security Features:

   • Rate limiting prevents abuse
   • Maximum attempt controls
   • Code expiration
   • Secure code generation

Usage

The plugin provides two main endpoints:

1. Authentication Request

POST /auth/customer/passwordless
{
  "phone": "+1234567890"
}

2. Verification

POST /auth/customer/passwordless/callback
{
  "phone": "+1234567890",
  "code": "1234"
}

Phone Number Format

Phone numbers must be in E.164 format:

• Starts with '+'
• Country code
• National number
• Example: +1234567890

Error Handling

The plugin provides clear error messages for various scenarios:

• Invalid phone number format
• Rate limit exceeded
• Maximum attempts exceeded
• Invalid or expired code
• Provider-specific errors
