Vue Vault
A Vue component to embed Apideck Vault in any Vue application.
This guide will get you up and running with the Vault component. To get started, follow these 3 steps:
Step 1: Setup Apideck
Create an account
If you haven't already, head over to our Signup page and create an account. Choose an application name and a subdomain. Afterward, you will be redirected to the Apideck dashboard.
Enable Unified APIs and connectors
Go to the Unified APIs page in the Apideck dashboard. Choose one or more Unified APIs to enable. You'll see a list of the available connectors for each Unified API. Choose a couple of connectors to enable. The Unified APIs and connectors you select become available to your users in Vault.
Get your API key and Application ID
Go to the API Keys page in the Apideck dashboard. Copy your application ID and API key. If your API key ever gets compromised, you can regenerate it on this page.
Step 2: Create a session
Vault lets your users (called consumers in Apideck) easily connect and configure integrations. You can create a consumer through a Vault session through the following endpoint https://developers.apideck.com/apis/vault/reference#tag/Sessions.
Most of the time, this is an ID of your internal data model that represents a user or account in your system. E.g., account:12345. If the consumer doesn't exist yet, Vault will upsert a consumer based on your ID.
Note 🚨
Session creation should always happen server-side to prevent token leakage.
Use the API call below to create a session for a consumer. This will return a Vault URL that you forward to a consumer to connect integrations.
You can also use one of our SDKs to create a session, like for example the Node SDK:
Below is an example of creating a function to create a session:
The returned
dataobject will include the
session_tokenthat you can use pass as the
jwtprop to the
Vaultcomponent. It also includes a
session_uri, which is a link to the Hosted Vault application. You can use this link if you don't want to use
react-vaultand redirect the user to the hosted solution.
Step 3: Add Vue Vault
Vue Vault lets your users authorize connectors and manage integration settings. It stores the credentials securely and lets you make authorized API calls on your consumers` (users) behalf. To get started, install the component using NPM or Yarn.
Package
Usage
Pass the JWT you got from the Vault session to
@apideck/vue-vault, call the slot prop
opento open the Vault modal.
If you want to only show integrations for a single Unified API, you can do that by passing the
unified-apiprop. If you want to open Vault for only a single integration, you can provide the
service-idprop.
If you want to get notified when the modal opens and closes, you can provide the
onReadyand
onCloseoptions.
