Add a AWS Cognito Sign Up Email Confirm route

Add /api/auth/email/verify (opens in a new tab) route in existing your node.js project, if don't use validateSignupRequest (opens in a new tab) middleware, then you can remove the validateSignupRequest middleware.

auth.routes.js

import controller from '../controllers/auth.controller';
import {
  validateSignupRequest,
  validateSignupConfirmRequest,
} from '../middleware';
 
export default (app) => {
  app.post('/api/auth/signup', validateSignupRequest, controller.signup);
  app.post(
    '/api/auth/email/verify',
    validateSignupConfirmRequest,
    controller.signupConfirm,
  );
};

Add a Sign Up Email Confirm Function in the auth controller.

Add a Sign Up Email Confirm Function (opens in a new tab) in the controller.

auth.controller.js

// User Signup
import CognitoIdentity from '../services/cognito';
 
const CognitoIdentityService = CognitoIdentity();
 
const signup = async (req, res) => {
  // Signup logic here
  // ...
 
  const { email, password, givenname, familyname } = req.body;
 
  const cognitoParams = {
    username: email,
    password,
    givenname,
    familyname,
  };
 
  try {
    const cognitoUser = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      CognitoIdentityService.signup(cognitoParams, (err, user) => {
        if (err) {
          reject(err);
        } else {
          resolve(user);
        }
      });
    });
 
    res.status(200).send({
      success: true,
      message: 'User registered successfully',
      user: cognitoUser,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(400).send({ success: false, message: error.message, error });
  }
};
 
const signupConfirm = async (req, res) => {
  const { email, code } = req.body;
  const cognitoParams = {
    username: email,
    confirmationCode: code,
  };
 
  try {
    await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      CognitoIdentityService.signupConfirm(cognitoParams, (err, user) => {
        if (err) {
          reject(err);
        } else {
          resolve(user);
        }
      });
    });
 
    // DB logic here
    // ...
 
    res.status(200).send({
      success: true,
      message: 'User email confirmed successfully',
      user: {
        user_confirmed: true,
      },
    });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(400).send({ success: false, message: error.message, error });
  }
};
 
export default {
  signup,
  signupConfirm,
};

Add a Sign Up Email Confirm in the services.

And then we need to add the AWS Cognito user authentication service to the services folder. I will use the amazon-cognito-identity-js for the service. If you don't understand how to work the service, please check the service folder structure on my git repository (opens in a new tab).

services/
  └──cognito/
        ├── index.js
        └── methods/
              ├── index.js
              ├── signup.js
              └── signupConfirm.js

This is a signupConfirm file, please add it.

signupConfirm.js

import { CognitoUserPool, CognitoUser } from 'amazon-cognito-identity-js';
 
/**
 * Confirm the signup action
 * @param {*} poolData
 * @param {{username, confirmationCode}} body
 * @param {*} callback
 */
 
const signupConfirm = (poolData, body, callback) => {
  const userPool = new CognitoUserPool(poolData);
 
  const { username, confirmationCode } = body;
 
  const userData = {
    Username: username,
    Pool: userPool,
  };
 
  const cognitoUser = new CognitoUser(userData);
 
  cognitoUser.confirmRegistration(confirmationCode, true, (err, res) =>
    callback(err, res),
  );
};
 
export default signupConfirm;

The Result in the Postman

Cognito email verification
