AppUserBase Class

Helper class that consolidates access to Claims and Authentication features more easily. Subclass this class and add specific properties with Getters to retrieve data out of the user claims, roles and settings.

System.Object
Westwind.AspNetCore.Security.AppUserBase

Remarks

Create an application specific class that inherits from AppUserBase and uses specific claims retrieved as property values:

public class AppUser : AppUserBase
{
  public AppUser(ClaimsPrincipal user) : base(user) { }

  public string Email => GetClaim("Username");
  public string Fullname => GetClaim("Fullname");
  public string UserId => GetClaim("UserId");
  public bool IsAdmin => HasRole("Admin");
}

retrieves a user from ClaimsPrincipal with your own implementation.

public static class ClaimsPrincipalExtensions
{
   public static AppUser GetAppUser(this ClaimsPrincipal user)
   {
           return new AppUser(user);
   }
}
