✨ Features

Feature	Description
🔐 JWT Authentication	Complete JWT token lifecycle with access/refresh tokens
👥 User Management	User registration, authentication, password management
🎭 Role-Based Access	Flexible role system with hierarchical permissions
🔑 Permission System	Granular permission-based authorization with policies
🏢 Multi-Tenancy	Built-in support for tenant isolation and federation
🌐 OAuth2/OIDC	Integration with Auth0, Azure AD, and custom providers
📍 Security Features	Rate limiting, audit logging, geo-location tracking
🔄 Token Invalidation	Real-time token blacklisting and version control

📦 Packages

GrydAuth is organized in multiple packages following Clean Architecture:

📦 GrydAuth
├── GrydAuth.Domain           # Entities, Value Objects, Domain Events
├── GrydAuth.Application      # Commands, Queries, Interfaces
├── GrydAuth.Infrastructure   # JWT, Repositories, External Services
├── GrydAuth.API              # Controllers, Middlewares, Filters
└── GrydAuth.Infrastructure.Auth0  # Auth0 integration (optional)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

.NET CLI

# Install all GrydAuth packages
dotnet add package GrydAuth.API
dotnet add package GrydAuth.Infrastructure

# Optional: Auth0 integration
dotnet add package GrydAuth.Infrastructure.Auth0

Package Manager

Install-Package GrydAuth.API
Install-Package GrydAuth.Infrastructure

Basic Configuration

// Program.cs
using GrydAuth.API.Controllers;
using GrydAuth.Infrastructure;
using Gryd.API.Extensions;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add GrydAuth services (reads from appsettings.json)
builder.Services.AddGrydAuth(builder.Configuration);

// Add Controllers (includes GrydAuth API controllers)
builder.Services.AddControllers()
    .AddApplicationPart(typeof(AuthController).Assembly);

// Add Exception Handlers
builder.Services.AddGrydAuthExceptionHandler();
builder.Services.AddCoreExceptionHandler();

var app = builder.Build();

// Exception handling first
app.UseExceptionHandler();

// Authentication middleware
app.UseAuthentication();

// GrydAuth middleware (token blacklist, SmartFederation)
// CRITICAL: AFTER Authentication, BEFORE Authorization
app.UseGrydAuth();

// Authorization middleware
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapControllers();
app.Run();
