What options are available for managing common custom code in rules?

What options are there available for managing custom javascript code for re-use in Auth0 rules, hooks or actions?

At present, our solution runs custom rules at the start of the authentication pipeline that define custom javascript objects/functions/properties on the global object. These custom functions on the global object are then referenced in rules that run later in the authentication pipeline.

Is there a better way to manage custom code? For example, is it possible to write all of our custom code in a node module and reference that custom node module in our rules? Or is it possible to use a custom extension etc?

Thanks.

Hi @aflood

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Have you looked into Actions?

Auth0 Actions

I’m not sure I have a clear picture of what you mean by:

Can you give an example? If you are mostly concerned with managing versioning and iterating on your rules, you can do that with Actions.
