http-auth-parser
This little library is used to parse and put the auth header data at req.auth
. It can currently handle basic
and bearer
authentication types.
This has support for JWT tokens when bearer
auth is being used. The token value will attempt to be parsed by the JWT parser. It ONLY does decode. If you would like to verify the token it is available at req.auth.jwt.token
.
Auth Object
req.auth = {
type: 'basic|bearer',
username: 'username',
password: 'password',
token: 'token',
jwt: {
token: 'rawjwttoken',
claims: 'Object of Claims from Token'
}
}
Example Code
var authparser = require('http-auth-parser')
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
authparser(req)
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end(JSON.stringify(req.auth, null, 4));
}).listen(8000, '127.0.0.1');
curl -XGET -H 'Authorization: Bearer mytoken' http://localhost:8000
Example Auth Object
{
"type": "basic",
"username": "Aladdin",
"password": "open sesame"
}
