ElmLive - AWS Cognito - Part 1

Today we connect Elm to Javascript with ports, and start making the authentication piece of our serverless backend architecture for Elm apps.

Send me your comments here or on twitter @avh4. Thanks for watching and trying out Elm!

Great video, man!


var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
entry: './src/entry',
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'my-app.js',
},
module: {
loaders: [{
test: /\.json$/,
loader: 'json'
}]
}
};

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for the gentle introduction to Cognito. JavaScript SDK is used on the client side, so how is the user pool ID and client ID protected? Context is for the user pool (and not identity pool). It seems anyone who can read the JavaScript source for the page may be able to spoof requests as though coming from the app. Any protection from that?

Thanks for the video. I have a question, How do you store the "Auth Token" or maybe some user info in browser for future login. For example if you have "Remember Me" option in your login, how do you save it so you don't redirect user to Login page every time they use the application? Thanks again for the awsm videos!

seems a good choice AWS as serverside, Cognito free upto 50.000 users, but will it give all functionality you will need in the end for free?

What is the app with the jack plug as its icon?

Is there any other tutorial videos about AWS Cognito in Java (not Android) to sign up and sign in?
