Welcome to SocialNexus

SocialNexus is a capstone project created by Ryan P Lynch. It is underdevelopment and is not a finished product.

Mission Statement

Empower users by giving them easy access to their data on the internet.

Current Features

  • Create a local account on Azure B2C
  • Register using external identity provider: Google or Facebook
  • A demo Shop enables users to create and delete products

The Shop

Go to Shop

The shop uses the SocialNexusService to create and store products. It showcases the use of identity tokens and access tokens.

Identity tokens are used by the frontend to hide certain UI elements from unregistered users.

Access tokens are used by the backend to check if a user is allowed to access an endpoint. They also let us know who is calling the endpoint. We can use this to remember who created a product or to prevent another user from deleting a product not owned by them.
