If consumers follow JWT standards, Warthog should make things really easy. For instance:

If using JWTs
...and JWT comes in through authorization header
...and the header is of form Bearer <token>
...and we assume the JWT has an id field in it that is the user's ID

Then we should be able to:

Pull the token out and put it in context
Pull the user ID out and put it in context
Provide middleware to grab the token
Provide middleware to grab the user Id
Provide middleware that will pull the full user record from the DB
Provide JWTRequired middleware that will kill a request with no JWT

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

You could go one step further and support OpenID Connect tokens.

Good suggestion. Have you set this up in Node before?
