Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

express-jwt-authz

Validate a JWTs scope to authorize access to an endpoint.

Install

$ npm install express-jwt-authz

express@^4.0.0 is a peer dependency. Make sure it is installed in your project.

Usage

Use together with express-jwt to both validate a JWT and make sure it has the correct permissions to call an endpoint.

var jwt = require('express-jwt');
var jwtAuthz = require('express-jwt-authz');

var options = {};
app.get('/users',
  jwt({ secret: 'shared_secret' }),
  jwtAuthz([ 'read:users' ], options),
  function(req, res) { ... });

If multiple scopes are provided, the user must have at least one of the specified scopes.

app.post('/users',
  jwt({ secret: 'shared_secret' }),
  jwtAuthz([ 'read:users', 'write:users' ], {}),
  function(req, res) { ... });

// This user will be granted access
var authorizedUser = {
  scope: 'read:users'
};

To check that the user has all the scopes provided, use the checkAllScopes: true option:

app.post('/users',
  jwt({ secret: 'shared_secret' }),
  jwtAuthz([ 'read:users', 'write:users' ], { checkAllScopes: true }),
  function(req, res) { ... });

// This user will have access
var authorizedUser = {
  scope: 'read:users write:users'
};

// This user will NOT have access
var unauthorizedUser = {
  scope: 'read:users'
};

The JWT must have a scope claim and it must either be a string of space-separated permissions or an array of strings. For example:

// String:
"write:users read:users"

// Array:
["write:users", "read:users"]

Options

  • failWithError: When set to true, will forward errors to next instead of ending the response directly. Defaults to false.
  • checkAllScopes: When set to true, all the expected scopes will be checked against the user's scopes. Defaults to false.
  • customUserKey: The property name to check for the scope key. By default, permissions are checked against req.user, but you can change it to be req.myCustomUserKey with this option. Defaults to user.
  • customScopeKey: The property name to check for the actual scope. By default, permissions are checked against user.scope, but you can change it to be user.myCustomScopeKey with this option. Defaults to scope.
