# Endpoint
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path | Auth | CSRF | Rate limited |
|
||
|--------|-------------------------------|------|--------|--------------|
|
||
| `POST` | `/api/v1/setup/create-admin` | `@Public()` | Skipped (path is in `CsrfMiddleware.SKIP_PATH_PREFIXES`) | Yes (per-IP via `RegistrationRateLimitService`) |
|
||
|
||
# Request body
|
||
|
||
Validated by `backend/src/modules/setup/dto/create-admin.dto.ts` (zod):
|
||
|
||
| Field | Type | Constraints |
|
||
|-------------------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||
| `username` | string | 3–32 chars, regex `^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+$` |
|
||
| `password` | string | 1–256 chars; additionally passes `validatePassword` (Argon2 policy). |
|
||
| `passwordConfirm` | string | Must equal `password` (zod refine → `VALIDATION_FAILED`, `passwordConfirm`).|
|
||
|
||
# Successful response (201)
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"accessToken": "<jwt>",
|
||
"expiresIn": 900,
|
||
"user": { "id": "<uuid>", "username": "first.admin", "role": "admin" }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The refresh token is set as an `HttpOnly` cookie via
|
||
`setRefreshCookie(res, session.refreshToken, config)` so the SPA can keep
|
||
refreshing without storing the raw token in JS.
|
||
|
||
# Error envelope
|
||
|
||
| HTTP | `code` | When |
|
||
|------|---------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||
| 400 | `VALIDATION_FAILED` | zod body validation failed (length, regex, or `passwordConfirm`). |
|
||
| 400 | `WEAK_PASSWORD` | Argon2 policy rejects the password (length / mixed-case requirement). |
|
||
| 404 | `NOT_FOUND` | An admin already exists — the route is hidden once initialized. |
|
||
| 409 | `USERNAME_TAKEN` | Username collision (reachable only during a race before init). |
|
||
| 429 | `RATE_LIMITED` | `RegistrationRateLimitService` blocked the IP. |
|
||
|
||
# Wiring
|
||
|
||
* Registered in `backend/src/app.module.ts` via `SetupModule`.
|
||
* `SetupController` (`backend/src/modules/setup/setup.controller.ts`) is
|
||
`@Public()` and uses `ZodValidationPipe(CreateAdminDtoSchema)`.
|
||
* `SetupService.createAdmin` runs everything inside a single
|
||
`DataSource.transaction`: admin count check → username uniqueness check
|
||
→ Argon2id hash → insert `UserEntity(role='admin', status='enabled')` →
|
||
mint session via the static `AuthService.createSession`.
|
||
* CSRF is bypassed for `/api/v1/setup/create-admin` so the first caller
|
||
(before any cookie exists) is not blocked. The middleware still mints
|
||
a `csrf` cookie on the response so subsequent calls are covered.
|
||
|
||
# Frontend consumer
|
||
|
||
`frontend/src/app/features/setup/setup-create-admin.service.ts` calls
|
||
this endpoint and normalizes the response into the discriminated union
|
||
`CreateAdminResult`:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
type CreateAdminResult = CreateAdminSuccess | CreateAdminFailure;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`CreateAdminFailure` exposes `{ ok: false, status, code, message }` so
|
||
the component can switch on `code === 'USERNAME_TAKEN'` to surface a
|
||
non-retryable inline error and offer a Retry button for everything else.
