Authentication by json web token in cookie. Supports basic and bearer but main focus is on cookieToken.

Usage

const users = [
  { username: 'admin', password: 'admin', token: { access: 'all' } }
]
const jwtOpts = {
  cookieToken: 'token',
  jwtSecret: 'secret key',
  jwtOptions: { expiresIn: '7d' },
}

app.use(auth.cookieToken(jwtOpts))
app.get('/token', auth.basic({users}),
                  auth.cookieToken.renew(jwtOpts),
                  auth.token(jwtOpts))
app.use('/', express.static('./static'))
...

• auth.basic sets req.user property if username and password from authorization: Basic ... header are valid
