This is a client library for interacting with the idam application.

• JDK 8

Add the library as a dependency of your project and configure the spring application to scan for Feign clients in the uk.gov.hmcts.reform.idam package:

@EnableFeignClients(basePackages = {"uk.gov.hmcts.reform.idam"})
public class YourSpringApplication { }

You will also need to set the spring configuration property of idam.api.url

Optionally if you are authenticating a user you can use provide client configuration:

idam:
  api:
    url: http://localhost:8080
  client:
    id: client_id
    secret: 123456
    redirect_uri: https://localhost:3000/receiver 

A client (IdamClient) is provided for interacting with the IdamApi feign client to simplify the log in flow:

@Service
class UserService {
    private final IdamClient idamClient;
    
    UserService(IdamClient idamClient) {
        this.idamClient = idamClient;
    }
    
    public UserDetails authenticateUser(String username, String password) {
        return idamClient.authenticateUser(username, password);
    }
    
}

Components provided by this library will get automatically configured in a Spring context if idam.api.url configuration property is defined and does not equal false.
