Create React App Officially Deprecated Amid React 19 Compatibility Issues
Create React App is officially deprecated due to React 19 issues and lack of maintenance—developers should switch to Vite or other modern alternatives.

Advanced tools
Bearer token middleware for express.
Per RFC6750 this module will attempt to extract a bearer token from a request from these locations:
access_token
in the request body.access_token
in the request params.Authorization: Bearer <token>
.access_token
.If a token is found, it will be stored on req.token
. If one has been provided in more than one location, this will abort the request immediately by sending code 400 (per RFC6750).
const express = require('express');
const bearerToken = require('express-bearer-token');
const app = express();
app.use(bearerToken());
app.use(function (req, res) {
res.send('Token '+req.token);
});
app.listen(8000);
For APIs which are not compliant with RFC6750, the key for the token in each location is customizable, as is the key the token is bound to on the request (default configuration shown):
app.use(bearerToken({
bodyKey: 'access_token',
queryKey: 'access_token',
headerKey: 'Bearer',
reqKey: 'token',
cookie: false, // by default is disabled
}));
Get token from cookie key (it can be signed or not)
Warning: by NOT passing {signed: true}
you are accepting a non signed cookie and an attacker might spoof the cookies. so keep in mind to use signed cookies
app.use(bearerToken({
cookie: {
signed: true, // if passed true you must pass secret otherwise will throw error
secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
key: 'access_token' // default value
}
}));
As of version 2.2.0 we've added initial support for TypeScript.
