bearer-token

Callback with a rfc6750 OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token from an http request object, ready for verification.

Install

npm install bearer-token

Example

var bearerToken = require('bearer-token')
var http = require('http')
 
server = http.createServer()
server.listen(8000, function () {
  console.log('server started on 8000')
})
 
server.on('request', function(req ,res) {
  bearerToken(req, function(err, token) {
    // Now you have to verify the token
  })
})

Pass in a standard http reuest object to extract a single bearer token from the request in the callback, if it exists. If no bearer token is found, token will be undefined. The first bearer token that is found is returned. Authentication headers take precidence over tokens found in the body.

Arguments

var bearerToken = require('bearer-token')

bearerToken is a single asyncronous function.

bearerToken(req, callback)

• req Accepts a standard http request object. The request header and body are parsed in search of a bearer token. Tokens found in the request header take precidence over tokens in the body.
• callback(error, token) Function is called with any errors and a token if found. A missing token is not grounds for an error (only parsing or unexpected errors).
  • error Error object if anything bad happened.
  • token String if a token is found. You still need to verify it.
