How to programmatically add and configure provider to the users-permissions plugin?

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Hello Strapists, I just started playing with strapi and I want to:

  • Define env vars for login providers I need
  • Let the application create or update the configuration on startup

I’m looking at the default users-permissions plugin and I see the configuration object I probably need in server/bootstrap/grant-config.js but I can’t find a way to use this in the way I want.

Config Sync plugin is probably your best bet.

Hey there,
How do I sync the providers with Config Sync? From what I understood, their config name is plugin_users-permissions_grant and it’s excluded from CS by default, and I couldn’t figure out how to export this config.

Ah you are correct.
Then you can not use Config Sync but you’ll have to manually insert in to the core_store table.

From the bootstrap function

And then you can you env vars like you suggested

Alright I understand thank you so much!!

Solution:

Exporting the provider config is impossible via Config-Sync as this config requires env variables.

Instead I configured them in Strapi Bootstrap at ./src/index.ts.
I used the Strapi core store to set the config via strapi.store({ key: 'grant', ...other stuff }).set(new data here) method. I don’t remember off the top of my head the other two properties to be passed to the store but I can post the rest tomorrow :slightly_smiling_face:

Complete code example:

// ./src/index.ts

export default {
  register(strapi){/*...*/}
  bootstrap({strapi}) {
    const pluginStore = strapi.store({ type: 'plugin', name: 'users-permissions', key: 'grant' })
    const oldData = pluginStore.get()
    pluginStore.set({ value: {
      ...oldData,
      // New stuff here
    })
  }
}
