grunt-connect-http-auth v0.1.2
grunt-connect-http-auth
Http-auth middleware for grunt-connect.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-connect-http-auth --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-connect-http-auth');
The "grunt-connect-http-auth" task
Grunt-connect-http-auth is using http-auth of gevorg as a middleware layer to add authenication.
Configuration
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named auth
to the connect
data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
. You find the configurations in the http-auth project.
grunt.initConfig({
connect: {
auth:{
authRealm : "Private server",
authList : ['foo:bar']
}
},
})
Adding the middleware
Expose the http-auth function to use in the middleware, at the top of the grunt file:
var authRequest = require('grunt-connect-http-auth/lib/utils').authRequest;
Add the middleware call from the connect option middleware hook
connect: {
livereload: {
options: {
middleware: function (connect) {
return [
authRequest
];
}
}
}
}
Adding the "configureHttpAuth" task to the server task
For the server task, add the "configureHttpAuth" task before the "connect" task
grunt.registerTask('server', function (target) {
grunt.task.run([
'configureHttpAuth',
'connect:livereload'
]);
});
