@ianwalter/express-csrf

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) middleware for Express

About

Heavily inspired by and based on csurf. This module aims to be more flexible than other CSRF modules by being split into two separate middleware: one that handles the CSRF token generation and one that handles the CSRF token validation.

Installation

yarn add @ianwalter/express-csrf

Usage

Use the csrfGeneration middleware before you intend to use the req.generateCsrfToken method to generate a CSRF token:

const { csrfGeneration } = require('@ianwalter/express-csrf')

app.use(csrfGeneration)

Use the csrfValidation middleware before any endpoints you want to protect from CSRF attacks:

const { csrfValidation } = require('@ianwalter/express-csrf')

// Doesn't need to be proected:
app.post('/login', session.create)

app.use(csrfValidation)

// Protected:
app.post('/order', orders.create)
