Express session for universal controllers.
npm install @universal-packages/express-controllers-session
npm install express
npm install @universal-packages/express-controllers
By installing this package a global middleware is going to be loaded automatically by the ExpressControllers
.
Set up the global middleware session options before loading the ExpressControllers
.
import { initialize } from '@universal-packages/express-controllers-session'
import { RedisEngine } from '@universal-packages/universal-token-registry-redis'
initialize({ engine: 'redis', engineOptions: { host: 'localhost' } })
await expressControllers.prepare()
Same options as express-session.
You can use @AuthenticateAction to quickly end request when no session is present at action level.
import { BaseController, Controller, Get, Post } from '@universal-packages/express-controllers'
import { AuthenticateAction } from '@universal-packages/express-controllers-session'
@Controller('good')
export default class GoodController extends BaseController {
@Get()
@AuthenticateAction()
async action() {
this.request.parameters
}
}
You can use @AuthenticateController to quickly end request when no session is present for every action in a controller.
import { BaseController, Controller, Get, Post } from '@universal-packages/express-controllers'
import { AuthenticateController } from '@universal-packages/express-controllers-session'
@Controller('good')
@AuthenticateController()
export default class GoodController extends BaseController {
@Get()
async action() {
this.request.parameters
}
}
Creating your own decorator enables you to not only end the request but also make the request richer with additional data.
import { ActionUse, ControllerUse } from '@universal-packages/express-controllers'
async function authenticateRequest(request, response, next) {
if (request.session.authenticated) {
request.currentUser = await User.findById(request.session.authenticatableId)
next()
} else {
response.status(401).end()
}
}
export function AuthenticateAction() {
return ActionUse(authenticateRequest)
}
export function AuthenticateController() {
return ControllerUse(authenticateRequest)
}
