Tokenator is a lightweight piece of Connect Middleware to provide access control based on a token. It is design to be used with APIs.
via npm
npm install tokenator
Tokenator expects the API token to be sent by the client in a header named 'api-token'.
On the server tokenator expects an array of valid tokens.
If a client tries to connect without a token or an invalid token a 401 response will be returned.
For connect
var connect = require('connect'),
http = require('http'),
tokenator = require('tokenator');
function accessGranted(req, res){
res.end('Tokenator says yes!');
}
var app = connect()
.use(tokenator(['5917f138c80b512d14a4ee2fe05a17dc', '7b1a47ab847f7534b507c6ae4a763118']))
.use(accessGranted)
http.Server(app).listen(3000);
For express
var express = require('express'),
tokenator = require('tokenator');
var app = module.exports = express.createServer();
app.configure(function(){
app.use(tokenator(['5917f138c80b512d14a4ee2fe05a17dc', '7b1a47ab847f7534b507c6ae4a763118']))
});
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send('Tokenator says yes!');
});
app.listen(3000);
