expressjs=authtoken is the middleware to read the authentication token from the request
How to use?
var authToken = require("expressjs-authtoken");
app.use(authToken());if we don't specify any props, it will take from headers and with authorization key
passing custom props
by passing the custom props you can read the key from headers, body and params
Example
app.use(
authToken({
key: "authorization", //key to read from the request , default value is authorization
readFrom: "headers", // read from headers/body/params, default value is headers
isMandatory: true, // is authorization key mandatory, if mandatory is true then it will throw an error, defaut value is false,
ignore: 7, // ignore characters from start to remove such as Bearer
})
);
