AzerothCore integration in Strapi CMS.

• Multi-realm support out of the box
• Registration that also creates an in-game account with the same credentials
• Login with the same credentials as the in-game account
• Password reset and password change, which also change the in-game account password
• Account confirmation
• Linking of CMS accounts for existing in-game accounts

• Node.js
• An AzerothCore server
• A working Strapi project, see the Quick Start Guide

Install the plugin in your Strapi project:

# using npm
npm install strapi-azerothcore

# using yarn
yarn add strapi-azerothcore

Using a text/code editor, open config/plugins.js (or config/plugins.ts if applicable), add a "strapi-azerothcore" object with an enabled property set to true:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
	// ...
	"strapi-azerothcore": {
		enabled: true,
	},
	// ...
});

After installing the plugin, you must rebuild the admin dashboard for it to include the plugin.
Use the build script to rebuild Strapi, or use develop if you'd like to start it as well:

# using npm
npm run build
# or
npm run develop

# using yarn
yarn build
# or
yarn develop

The AzerothCore plugin should now appear in the left pane of your Strapi dashboard:

In the leftmost pane of the Strapi dashboard, go to "AzerothCore", then "General" under the Settings category

• Allow linking existing game accounts
  Check this to enable creating CMS user accounts for existing AzerothCore accounts. To use this feature, users will need to go through the registration process on your website and make sure to provide the account name and password they're using to log into the game server.

In the leftmost pane of the Strapi dashboard, go to "AzerothCore", then "Realms" under the Settings category

This is where you define your different realms.
Typically you need to have one entry for each row in the realmlist table of your acore_auth database.

You can click the "➕ Create realm" button on the top right corner of the page to add an entry, click one of the table's rows to edit an entry, or click the 🗑️ button on the right to delete an entry.

Each entry has the following settings:

• Host: the hostname on which your MySQL database server is running
• Port: the port on which your MySQL database server is listening, usually 3306
• Database: the name of the database, usually acore_characters
• User: the MySQL user to connect with. Make sure that the user has access to the specified database.
• Password: the user's password

You can press the "🔌 Test Connection" button to ensure Strapi is able to connect to your database properly.

• Host: the hostname on which your AzerothCore worldserver is running.
  See SOAP.IP in your worldserver.conf.
• Port: the port on which your AzerothCore worldserver is listening for SOAP connections, usually 7878.
  See SOAP.Port in your worldserver.conf.
• Username: the AzerothCore account name to connect with.
  Make sure that the account has a security level of 3:
  • If you don't have an account for SOAP already, type this command in the worldserver console:
    account create soap mypassword (change soap and mypassword to your liking, they are the account name and password, respectively)
  • Change the security level to 3 for your SOAP account by typing this command in the worldserver console:
    account set gmlevel soap 3 -1 (change soap to the name of your SOAP account)
  • See AzerothCore's wiki on account creation for more info
• Password: the SOAP account's password

You can press the "🔌 Test Connection" button to ensure Strapi is able to connect to your AzerothCore server via SOAP properly.

In the leftmost pane of the Strapi dashboard, go to "AzerothCore", then "Auth Database" under the Settings category

• Host: the hostname on which your MySQL database server is running
• Port: the port on which your MySQL database server is listening, usually 3306
• Database: the name of the database, usually acore_auth
• User: the MySQL user to connect with. Make sure that the user has access to the specified database.
• Password: the user's password

You can press the "🔌 Test Connection" button to ensure Strapi is able to connect to your database properly.

In the leftmost pane of the Strapi dashboard, go to "AzerothCore", then "Permissions" under the Settings category

This page displays permission issues that would prevent standard usage of the AzerothCore plugin. Press the "🔨 Fix" button to fix the permissions.
Feel free to ignore the recommendations on this page if you know what you're doing and would like to disable some of the plugin's features via the permissions system.

In the leftmost pane of the Strapi dashboard, go to "⚙️ Settings", then visit the links under the "Users & permissions plugin" section:

This section allows you to manage which API endpoints are accessible for logged-in users ("Authenticated" role) and unauthenticated users ("Public" role).

You can customize the emails sent to your users here.

Make sure to change the "Reset password page" and "Redirection url" links:

• Reset password page: when using the "forgot password" feature, an email is sent with the specified URL. Make sure to input a link to an existing page of your frontend, which needs to call the reset-password API endpoint.
• Enable email confirmation: enable this if you'd like the CMS to send a confirmation email when registering an account.
• Redirection url: when registering, a verification email is sent with a link that will redirect to the specified URL. Make sure to input a link to an existing page of your frontend, where you can notify the user that the account was successfully verified, for instance.

Your frontend can query the following API endpoints:

• Register
  POST /api/strapi-azerothcore/auth/register

  {
  	"username": "myaccount",
  	"email": "[email protected]",
  	"password": "mypassword",
  	"repeatPassword": "mypassword"
  }

• Login
  POST /api/strapi-azerothcore/auth/login

  {
  	"identifier": "myaccount",
  	"password": "mypassword"
  }

  You can also use the email address to log in:

  {
  	"identifier": "[email protected]",
  	"password": "mypassword"
  }

  Example response:

  {
  	"jwt": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6NzMsImlhdCI6MTcxOTE1MTY0MiwiZXhwIjoxNzIxNzQzNjQyfQ.IoEBek2debDordaC0y1X_mlksjFPx_roi-BoJUeYfIg",
  	"user": {
  		"id": 73,
  		"username": "myaccount",
  		"email": "[email protected]",
  		"provider": "local",
  		"confirmed": true,
  		"blocked": false,
  		"createdAt": "2024-06-20T10:51:14.841Z",
  		"updatedAt": "2024-06-20T10:51:14.841Z"
  	}
  }

  Use the provided jwt in the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer <your jwt> without the brackets) for the endpoints that need authentication.

• Forgot Password
  POST /api/auth/forgot-password
  This will send an email to the provided email address if a user is found. The email will contain a link with a code as a query parameter (?code=xxxxx) which is needed for the reset-password endpoint.

  {
  	"email": "[email protected]"
  }

• Reset Password
  POST /api/strapi-azerothcore/auth/reset-password

  {
  	"code": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  	"password": "mynewpassword",
  	"passwordConfirmation": "mynewpassword"
  }

  The code is from a link sent via email when using the reset-password endpoint.
  password is the new password to set, and passwordConfirmation must be the value of a "repeat password" field in the form on your frontend.

  POST /api/strapi-azerothcore/auth/change-password
  🔐 Requires authentication

  {
  	"currentPassword": "password",

  }
