hapi-strategy-loader

A Hapi server plugin to configure your authentication strategies

Usage:

To use hapi-strategy-loader, you will need to have at least one authentication strategy registered with your hapi server. This example will use hapi-auth-cookie to manage session authentication.

Install

At the command line do:

npm install hapi-strategy-loader

Set up your server and register an authentication strategy:

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const hapiCookie = require('hapi-auth-cookie');
 
const server = new Hapi.Server({ });
server.connection({ port: 8080 });
// register your authentication strategies with hapi
// don't worry about the config options yet:
server.register(hapiCookie, () => {
});

Register the hapi-strategy-loader plugin with config options for your strategies:

// these are options recognized by hapi-auth-cookie:
  const hapiCookieOptions = {
    cookie: 'some-cookie-identifier',
    ttl: 60 * 1000,
    domain: 'example.com',
  };
  server.register({
    register: require('hapi-strategy-loader'),
    // pass any options to hapi-strategy-loader here:
    options: {
      // set verbose to true to print hapi-strategy-loader debug info:
      verbose: true,
      // list the strategies to load:
      strategies: {
        session: {
          // the 'cookie' scheme was made available when we registered hapi-auth-cookie:
          scheme: 'cookie',
          mode: 'try',
          // pass the options recognized by hapi-auth-cookie,
          // hapi-strategy-loader does not read them
          options: hapiCookieOptions
        }
      }
    }
  });

You can now use the new auth scheme in your server's routes:

// this route will return 401 if the user's session isn't authenticated:
  server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    config: {
      auth: 'session',
      handler: (request, reply) => {
        reply('hello!');
      }
    }
  });
  // you can use this route to authenticate the user's session:
  server.route({
    method: 'GET', path: '/login/{user}',
    config: {
      auth: { mode: 'try' },
      handler: (request, reply) => {
        // cookieAuth was provided by hapi-auth-cookie:
        request.cookieAuth.set({ user: request.params.user });
        return reply(request.params.user);
      }
    }
  });
