@asymmetrik/sof-scope-checker v1.0.7

SOF-Scope-Checker

Utility for validating patient and user level scopes for the SMART on FHIR specification.

Install

yarn add @asymmetrik/sof-scope-checker

Usage

const scopeChecker = require('@asymmetrik/sof-scope-checker');

let hasValidScopes = (name, action) => {
  return function (req, res, next) {
    let scopes = parseScopes(req && req.user);
    let { error, success } = scopeChecker(name, action, scopes);

    // Log the error, wrap in operation outcome or GraphQL specific error
    // You can check the type of the error as well since we use custom errors

    if (error) {
      next(error);
    } else {
      next();
    }
  }
};

app.get(
  '/Patient',
  hasValidScopes('Patient', 'read'),
  patientController
)

See sof-scope-checker tests for more usage examples.

NOTE: The error returned is an extension of the native JS error. It adds a type property to the error which can have a value of 'internal' representing a misconfiguration, or 'forbidden' representing a case where the scopes are not sufficient.
