hydra-express-plugin-aws-sqs v0.0.1

hydra-express-plugin-jwt-auth

Summary

Uses the fwsp-jwt-auth module to decode and validate JWT tokens.

There should be a root-level jwtPublicCert entry in the service config with the path to the public key file.

This plugin does not require a config entry in the hydra.plugins section.

Express middleware hydraExpress.validateJwtToken() decodes valid, unexpired auth tokens into req.authToken, or returns a 401 response otherwise.

These tokens should be in the authorization header of the request, as described here.

Usage

const hydraExpress = require('hydra-express');
const JWTAuthPlugin = require('hydra-express-plugin-jwt-auth');
hydraExpress.use(new JWTAuthPlugin());

api.get('/needsLogin', hydraExpress.validateJwtToken(), (req, res) => {
  res.json({decodedToken: req.authToken});
});
