Express.js Authentication

This package offers an Express.js middleware and router that makes it fast and easy to add user authentication to your Express.js server.

Usage

Authentication Server / Service:

import express from 'express';
import logger from './logger';
import cors from 'cors';
import 'dotenv/config';

import { createAuthRouter, SecretService } from '../dist';

const app = express();

const HOST = process.env.HOST ? (process.env.HOST as string) : 'localhost';
const PORT = process.env.PORT ? parseInt(process.env.PORT as string) : 4000;

const DB_URL = process.env.DB_URL as string;
const SECRET = process.env.SECRET as string;

app.use(express.json());
app.use(cors());

SecretService.setSecret(SECRET);

app.use(
    createAuthRouter((mongoose) => {
        mongoose
            .connect(DB_URL)
            .then(() => {
                logger.info(`Connected to database on ${DB_URL}`);
            })
            .catch((err) => {
                logger.error(`Could not connect to database on ${DB_URL}`);
            });
    }),
);

app.listen(PORT, HOST, () => {
    logger.info(`Server listening on http://${HOST}:${PORT}`);
});

Other Servers / Services (authentication only):

import express from 'express';
import logger from './logger';
import cors from 'cors';
import 'dotenv/config';

import { authenticate, SecretService } from '../dist';

const app = express();

const HOST = process.env.HOST ? (process.env.HOST as string) : 'localhost';
const PORT = process.env.PORT ? parseInt(process.env.PORT as string) : 4000;

const DB_URL = process.env.DB_URL as string;
const SECRET = process.env.SECRET as string;

app.use(express.json());
app.use(cors());

SecretService.setSecret(SECRET);

app.get('/secure', authenticate, (req, res) => {
    const user_id = req.session.user;
    //...
});

app.listen(PORT, HOST, () => {
    logger.info(`Server listening on http://${HOST}:${PORT}`);
});
