express-jwt-authz

Validate a JWTs scope to authorize access to an endpoint.

Install

$ npm install express-jwt-authz

express@^4.0.0 is a peer dependency. Make sure it is installed in your project.

Usage

Use together with express-jwt to both validate a JWT and make sure it has the correct permissions to call an endpoint.

var jwt = require('express-jwt');
var jwtAuthz = require('express-jwt-authz');

app.get('/users',
  jwt({ secret: 'shared_secret' }),
  jwtAuthz([ 'read:users' ]),
  function(req, res) { ... });

The JWT must have a scope claim and it must be an array or string that specifies permissions separated by spaces. For example:

// string:
"write:users read:users";

// array
["write:users", "read:users"]
