Types

type Middleware

type Middleware struct {
	// Target url to get user data using Authorization header
	Target string

	// Callback function that should perform the authorization of the authenticated user.
	// Called only when authentication was successful. Must return true on success,
	// false on failure. Optional, default to success.
	Authorizator func(data []byte, request *rest.Request) bool
}

Middleware provides a jwt proxied authentication. On failure, a 401 HTTP response is returned. On success, the wrapped middleware is called, and the raw user data is made available as request.Env["USER_DATA"].(interface)

func (*Middleware) MiddlewareFunc

func (mw *Middleware) MiddlewareFunc(handler rest.HandlerFunc) rest.HandlerFunc
