express-authorization-bearer

About

Bearer authorization token middleware for express.

Purpose?

This module will attempt to extract a bearer token from a request from this location:

• The value from the header Authorization: Bearer <token>.

If a token is found, it will be stored on req.token. Otherwise, it will abort the request immediately by sending code 401.

const express = require('express');
const bearerAuthorization = require('express-authorization-bearer');
const app = express();
const router = express.Router();

router.get('/user/:id', bearerAuthorization, function (req, res) {
    res.send(`token ${req.token}`);
})

app.use('/', router);
app.listen(3000);
