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 🙏

Token authentication strategy for Passport.

Installation

$ npm install passport-accesstoken

Usage

The token authentication strategy authenticates users using a username and token. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user.

var TokenStrategy = require('passport-accesstoken').Strategy;

passport.use(new TokenStrategy(
    function (token, done) {
        User.findOne({token: token}, function (err, user) {
            if (err) {
                return done(err);
            }
            
            if (!user) {
                return done(null, false);
            }
            
            if (!user.verifyToken(token)) {
                return done(null, false);
            }
            
            return done(null, user);
        });
    }
));

By default, passport-token checks for token credentials in either the header or request body in these locations:

Headers

x-token

Body fields

token

Configure

These credential locations can be configured when defining the strategy as follows:

var TokenStrategy   = require('passport-accesstoken').Strategy;
var strategyOptions = {
    tokenHeader:    'x-custom-token',        
    tokenField:     'custom-token'
};

passport.use(new TokenStrategy(strategyOptions,
    function (token, done) {
        User.findOne({token: token}, function (err, user) {
            if (err) {
                return done(err);
            }
            
            if (!user) {
                return done(null, false);
            }
            
            if (!user.verifyToken(token)) {
                return done(null, false);
            }
            
            return done(null, user);
        });
    }

Authenticate

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the token strategy to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.put('/animals/dogs', passport.authenticate('token'), function (req, res) {
    // User authenticated and can be found in req.user
});

If authentication fails in the above example then a 401 response will be given. However there may be times you wish a bit more control and delegate the failure to your application:

app.put('/animals/dogs', authenticate, function (req, res) {
       // User authenticated and can be found in req.user
});

function authenticate(req, res, next) {
    passport.authenticate('token', function (err, user, info) {
        if (err) {
            return next(err);
        }
        
        if (!user) {
            res.status(401).json({message: "Incorrect token credentials"});
        }
       
        req.user = user;
        next();
    });
}
