koa-auth-jwt

Description

Use in conjunction with koa-login.
This middleware can be used to secure routes in koa.
It will look for a JSON Web Token (JWT) inside the X-Auth-Token request header.
If no token is present or it is invalid a http response code 401 unauthorized will be sent back.
Otherwise the this.state.user object will be populated with the decoded data from the jwt.

// register unsecured routes here  
app.use(auth({
	secret: process.env.SECRET,
	token: 'X-Auth-Token' // optional
});
// register secured routes here

Options

• secret mandatory string which has been used to sign the jwt
• token optional string defining which header should contain the token
