General Features
This page covers the cross-cutting features available to all users: authentication, default landing page, and access-controlled pages that demonstrate Shopfoo's security model.
About page
The About page presents Shopfoo as a demo project showcasing the ❝ Safe Clean Architecture ❞. It displays four pieces of information:
🏷️ Version — determined at deployment time using SemVer (Semantic Versioning), derived from the Conventional Commits history since the previous deployment.
🧑💻 Authors — the names of the project's authors.
📖 GitBook — a link to this documentation.
🧬 GitHub — a link to the Shopfoo source code repository.
This page is accessible without login (anonymous mode). It is intentionally public to demonstrate how certain pages can bypass authentication — useful for testing public-access routes in the front-end security setup.
See the Security chapter for how public routes are configured on the client side.
See also the Versioning page for how the version number is determined at deployment time.
Login page
Shopfoo requires authentication, but uses a simplified model with no real auth backend (no OAuth, no JWT). The login page displays a table of predefined personas. The user clicks a row to instantly "log in" as that persona.
See the Security chapter for the full claims-based access control model and token mechanism.
Default page
After login, the application lands on the Home page, which displays the product catalog. This is the main working area of the back-office.
See the Products page for details on the product catalog.
Admin page
The Admin page is restricted to users who hold an Admin Claim. Attempting to access it without the claim results in an access-denied response, making it a useful test case for role-based access control (RBAC).
See the Security chapter for how claim-based guards are implemented.
Demo
The following demo illustrates the features described on this page:
