current-user's Introduction

hapi-current-user

This plugin supprots only Hapi and assumes you are using hapi-auth-jwt2 for authentication

current-user plugin adds property currentUser (can be modified) to request object. Now, every handler will have current user

{
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/api/v1/user',
  handler: (request, handler) => {
    return request.currentUser;
  }
}

Usage

Define Plugin options

import { User } from "/path/to/models";

module.exports = {
  model: User,
  authColumn: "email"
};

import currentUser from "hapi-current-user";
import currentUserOptions from "hapi-current-user";

await server.register({
  plugin: currentUser,
  options: currentUserOptions
});

In handler you have

// file: routes.js
[
  {
    method: "GET",
    path: "/api/v1/user",
    handler: (request, handler) => {
      return request.currentUser;
      /** Response
       * {
       *   id: 1,
       *   name: 'John Doe',
       *   email: '[email protected]',
       *   ...
       * }
       */
    }
  }
];

Example

import currentUser from "hapi-current-user";
import loginuser from "/path/to/loginUser";
import { User } from "/path/to/models";

server.route([
  {
    method: "POST",
    path: "/api/v1/authenticate",
    handler: (request, handler) => {
      // hapi-auth-jwt2 is implemented
      // in loginUser
      return loginUser(request);
    },
    options: {
      auth: false
    }
  },
  {
    method: "GET",
    path: "/api/v1/user",
    handler: (request, handler) => {
      return request.currentUser;
      /** Response
       * {
       *   id: 1,
       *   name: 'John Doe',
       *   email: '[email protected]',
       *   ...
       * }
       */
    }
  }
]);
