passport-http-header-strategy v1.1.0

passport-http-header-strategy

HTTP define header authentication strategy for Passport

Install

$ npm install passport-http-header-strategy

Usage

• header set header(default authorization)
• param set use req.body or req.query token name to request(default access_token)
• passReqToCallback if eturn

Configure Strategy

passport.use(new headerStrategy({header: 'X-APP-TOKEN', param: 'app_token', passReqToCallback: true},
  function(req, token, done) {
    User.findOne({ token: token }, function (err, user) {
      if (err) { return done(err); }
      if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
      return done(null, user, { scope: 'all' });
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'bearer' strategy, to authenticate requests. Requests containing bearer tokens do not require session support, so the session option can be set to false.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/profile', 
  passport.authenticate('header', { session: false }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.json(req.user);
  });
