Function auth

Creates a new middleware, that checks, if Authorization header is valid or not.

Example

import createServer, { auth, AuthValidatorWithoutScheme, IHttpRequest, IHttpResponse } from '@egomobile/http-server'

const checkBearer: AuthValidatorWithoutScheme = async (value: string, request: IHttpRequest, response: IHttpResponse) => {
  // client must submit something like
  // 'Authorization: Bearer myBearerValue'
  return value === 'myBearerValue'
}

const app = createServer()

// check if authorization header uses 'Bearer' scheme
// and its value matches all criteria of 'checkBearer()'
app.get('/', auth('Bearer', checkBearer), async (response, response) => {
  // your code, if bearer value is valid
})
