import { Request, RequestHandler } from 'express'

 *     const users = { alice: '1234', bob: 'correcthorsebatterystaple' }

 *     app.use(basicAuth({ users, challenge: true }), myHandler)

 * @param options The middleware's options (at least 'users' or 'authorizer' are mandatory).

function expressBasicAuth(options: expressBasicAuth.BasicAuthMiddlewareOptions): RequestHandler

declare function expressBasicAuth(options: expressBasicAuth.BasicAuthMiddlewareOptions): RequestHandler

     * The configuration you pass to the middleware can take three forms, either:

     *  - A map of static users ({ bob: 'pa$$w0rd', ... }) ;

     *  - An asynchronous authorizer function

    export type BasicAuthMiddlewareOptions = IUsersOptions | (IAuthorizerOptions | IAsyncAuthorizerOptions)

     * express-basic-auth patches the request object to set an `auth` property that lets you retrieve the authed user.

     *     app.use(basicAuth({ ... }), (req: basicAuth.IBasicAuthedRequest, res, next) => {

     *         res.end(`Welcome ${req.auth.user} (your password is ${req.auth.password})`)

         * Per default the middleware will not add a WWW-Authenticate challenge header to responses of unauthorized requests.

         * You can enable that by setting this to true, causing most browsers to show a popup to enter credentials

         * You can set the realm (the realm identifies the system to authenticate against and can be used by clients to

         * save credentials) of the challenge by passing a string or a function that gets passed the request and is

         * Per default, the response body for unauthorized responses will be empty.

         * It can be configured using the unauthorizedResponse option. You can either pass a static response or a

         * function that gets passed the express request object and is expected to return the response body.

         * If the response body is a string, it will be used as-is, otherwise it will be sent as JSON.

        unauthorizedResponse?: ValueOrFunction<any>

    interface IUsersOptions extends IBaseOptions {

         * If you simply want to check basic auth against one or multiple static credentials, you can pass those

         * credentials in the users option.

         *     const users = { alice: '1234', bob: 'correcthorsebatterystaple' }

         *     app.use(basicAuth({ users, challenge: true }), myHandler)

        users: { [username: string]: string }

    interface IAuthorizerOptions extends IBaseOptions {

         * Set to true if your authorizer is asynchronous.

         * You can pass your own authorizer function, to check the credentials however you want.

         * It will be called with a username and password and is expected to return true or false to indicate that the

         * credentials were approved or not:

         *     app.use(basicAuth({ authorizer }))

         *     function myAuthorizer(username: string, password: string) {

         *         return username.startsWith('A') && password.startsWith('secret');

         * This will authorize all requests with credentials where the username begins with 'A' and the password begins

         * with 'secret'. In an actual application you would likely look up some data instead ;-)

    interface IAsyncAuthorizerOptions extends IBaseOptions {

         * Set it to true to use a asynchronous authorizer.
