Bearer

Overview

Bearer validates Authorization: Bearer <jwt> and stores claims on the request context.

Part of the auth package — Node.js analog: passport.

Signature

func Bearer(secret []byte, opts *BearerOptions) goxhttp.Middleware

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

// Typical passport pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

// net/http middleware checking Authorization header

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/auth"

app.Use(auth.Bearer([]byte(jwtSecret), nil))

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/auth"

app.Use(auth.Bearer([]byte(jwtSecret), nil))

Tips

Import github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/auth and call Bearer directly. See the comparison below for the standard library equivalent.

Standard library alternative

gox wraps the Go standard library or a trusted dependency with Node-familiar naming. You can use the underlying library directly — see the package overview for escape hatches.
