Imperial
A Vapor middleware for adding federated authentication with OAuth providers to Swift server applications.
What is Imperial?
Imperial is a Swift package that provides federated authentication with OAuth providers for Vapor applications. It simplifies integrating external login services like GitHub by handling the OAuth flow, token storage, and route protection, allowing developers to offload user authentication to trusted third-party providers.
Swift developers building server-side applications with the Vapor framework who need to implement secure, federated user authentication without managing user credentials directly.
Developers choose Imperial because it offers a Vapor-native, middleware-based solution that reduces the boilerplate and complexity of implementing OAuth, with built-in session management and route protection tailored for Swift server environments.
