CE Express Security

This package allows developers to easily use CheaprEats unified authorization system with their express applications.

You must be registered as a CheaprEats developer to use this package, you must also obtain your OAuth client ID and secret.

Quick Start

First make sure you have express-session installed, this is required to maintain a login session.

Install the security module by running

$ npm install @cheapreats/express-security

Currently, this package only handles OAuth, so you can import a function called configureOAuth.

import {configureOAuth} from '@cheapreats/express-security'

Configure your application, for example, the following code will require OAuth for all paths starting with /secure.

configureOAuth(app, {
    path: /^\/secure.*$/,
    clientId: 'abcd...' // Your OAuth client ID
});

Within these paths, you can now access the variable req.ce if user is authorized. It is an object with the following fields

• userId ID of the user that is currently authorized.
• accessToken Access token, you can use this to call other APIs.
