Convert the project to typescript and improve typescript
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This changes convert the project to typescript to address several
issues.

It also simplify the interface a bit by conveying to a callback pattern
of `request`, `token` and `callback` in the `isRevoked` and `secret`
functions.

Removes also the feature of changing the output for the decoded token,
`userProperty`, `requestProperty` and `resultProperty`. The middleware
puts the decoded token always on `req.auth`.

Changes everything to use promises.

Basic usage using an HS256 secret:

```javascript
var jwt = require('express-jwt');

app.get('/protected',
jwt({ secret: 'shhhhhhared-secret', algorithms: ['HS256'] }),
function(req, res) {
if (!req.user.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
var { expressjwt: jwt } = require("express-jwt");
// or ES6
// import { expressjwt, ExpressJwtRequest } from "express-jwt";

app.get(
"/protected",
jwt({ secret: "shhhhhhared-secret", algorithms: ["HS256"] }),
function (req, res) {
if (!req.auth.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
res.sendStatus(200);
});
}
);
```

The decoded JWT payload is available on the request via the `user` property. This can be configured using the `requestProperty` option ([see below](#retrieving-the-decoded-payload)).
The decoded JWT payload is available on the request via the `auth` property.

> The default behavior of the module is to extract the JWT from the `Authorization` header as an [OAuth2 Bearer token](https://oauth.net/2/bearer-tokens/).
### Required Parameters

The `algorithms` parameter is required to prevent potential downgrade attacks when providing third party libraries as **secrets**.

:warning: **Do not mix symmetric and asymmetric (ie HS256/RS256) algorithms**: Mixing algorithms without further validation can potentially result in downgrade vulnerabilities.

```javascript
jwt({
secret: 'shhhhhhared-secret',
algorithms: ['HS256']
secret: "shhhhhhared-secret",
algorithms: ["HS256"],
//algorithms: ['RS256']
})
});
```

})
secret: "shhhhhhared-secret",
audience: "http://myapi/protected",
issuer: "http://issuer",
algorithms: ["HS256"],
});
```

> If the JWT has an expiration (`exp`), it will be checked.
If you are using a base64 URL-encoded secret, pass a `Buffer` with `base64` encoding as the secret instead of a string:

```javascript
jwt({ secret: Buffer.from('shhhhhhared-secret', 'base64'),
algorithms: ['RS256'] })
jwt({
secret: Buffer.from("shhhhhhared-secret", "base64"),
algorithms: ["RS256"],
});
```

Optionally you can make some paths unprotected as follows:

```javascript
app.use(jwt({ secret: 'shhhhhhared-secret', algorithms: ['HS256']}).unless({path: ['/token']}));
app.use(
jwt({
secret: "shhhhhhared-secret",
algorithms: ["HS256"],
}).unless({ path: ["/token"] })
);
```

This is especially useful when applying to multiple routes. In the example above, `path` can be a string, a regexp, or an array of any of those.

This module also support tokens signed with public/private key pairs. Instead of a secret, you can specify a Buffer with the public key

```javascript
var publicKey = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/public.pub');
jwt({ secret: publicKey, algorithms: ['RS256'] });
var publicKey = fs.readFileSync("/path/to/public.pub");
jwt({ secret: publicKey, algorithms: ["RS256"] });
```

### Retrieving the Decoded Payload

By default, the decoded token is attached to `req.user` but can be configured with the `requestProperty` option.


```javascript
jwt({ secret: publicKey, algorithms: ['RS256'], requestProperty: 'auth' });
```

The token can also be attached to the `result` object with the `resultProperty` option. This option will override any `requestProperty`.

```javascript
jwt({ secret: publicKey, algorithms: ['RS256'], resultProperty: 'locals.user' });
```

Both `resultProperty` and `requestProperty` utilize [lodash.set](https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#set) and will accept nested property paths.

### Multi-tenancy

If you are developing an application in which the secret used to sign tokens is not static, you can provide a callback function as the `secret` parameter. The function has the signature: `function(req, payload, done)`:
* `req` (`Object`) - The express `request` object.
* `payload` (`Object`) - An object with the JWT claims.
* `done` (`Function`) - A function with signature `function(err, secret)` to be invoked when the secret is retrieved.
* `err` (`Any`) - The error that occurred.
* `secret` (`String`) - The secret to use to verify the JWT.

- `req` (`Object`) - The express `request` object.
- `payload` (`Object`) - An object with the JWT claims.
- `done` (`Function`) - A function with signature `function(err, secret)` to be invoked when the secret is retrieved.
- `err` (`Any`) - The error that occurred.
- `secret` (`String`) - The secret to use to verify the JWT.

For example, if the secret varies based on the [JWT issuer](http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token.html#issDef):

```javascript
var jwt = require('express-jwt');
var data = require('./data');
var utilities = require('./utilities');

var secretCallback = function(req, payload, done){
var issuer = payload.iss;

data.getTenantByIdentifier(issuer, function(err, tenant){
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!tenant) { return done(new Error('missing_secret')); }

var secret = utilities.decrypt(tenant.secret);
done(null, secret);
});
var jwt = require("express-jwt");
var data = require("./data");
var utilities = require("./utilities");

var getSecret = async function (req, token) {
const issuer = token.payload.iss;
const tenant = await data.getTenantByIdentifier(issuer);
if (!tenant) {
throw new Error("missing_secret");
}
return utilities.decrypt(tenant.secret);
};

app.get('/protected',
jwt({ secret: secretCallback, algorithms: ['HS256'] }),
function(req, res) {
if (!req.user.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
app.get(
"/protected",
jwt({ secret: getSecret, algorithms: ["HS256"] }),
function (req, res) {
if (!req.auth.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
res.sendStatus(200);
});
}
);
```

### Revoked tokens

It is possible that some tokens will need to be revoked so they cannot be used any longer. You can provide a function as the `isRevoked` option. The signature of the function is `function(req, payload, done)`:
* `req` (`Object`) - The express `request` object.
* `payload` (`Object`) - An object with the JWT claims.
* `done` (`Function`) - A function with signature `function(err, revoked)` to be invoked once the check to see if the token is revoked or not is complete.
* `err` (`Any`) - The error that occurred.
* `revoked` (`Boolean`) - `true` if the JWT is revoked, `false` otherwise.

- `req` (`Object`) - The express `request` object.
- `payload` (`Object`) - An object with the JWT claims.
- `done` (`Function`) - A function with signature `function(err, revoked)` to be invoked once the check to see if the token is revoked or not is complete.
- `err` (`Any`) - The error that occurred.
- `revoked` (`Boolean`) - `true` if the JWT is revoked, `false` otherwise.

For example, if the `(iss, jti)` claim pair is used to identify a JWT:

```javascript
var jwt = require('express-jwt');
var data = require('./data');
var utilities = require('./utilities');

var isRevokedCallback = function(req, payload, done){
var issuer = payload.iss;
var tokenId = payload.jti;

data.getRevokedToken(issuer, tokenId, function(err, token){
if (err) { return done(err); }
return done(null, !!token);
});
const jwt = require("express-jwt");
const data = require("./data");

const isRevokedCallback = async (req, token) => {
const issuer = token.payload.iss;
const tokenId = token.payload.jti;
const token = await data.getRevokedToken(issuer, tokenId);
return token !== "undefined";
};

app.get('/protected',
app.get(
"/protected",
jwt({
secret: 'shhhhhhared-secret',
algorithms: ['HS256'],
isRevoked: isRevokedCallback
secret: "shhhhhhared-secret",
algorithms: ["HS256"],
isRevoked: isRevokedCallback,
}),
function(req, res) {
if (!req.user.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
function (req, res) {
if (!req.auth.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
res.sendStatus(200);
}
);

You might want to use this module to identify registered users while still providing access to unregistered users. You can do this by using the option `credentialsRequired`:

```javascript
app.use(jwt({
secret: 'hello world !',
algorithms: ['HS256'],
credentialsRequired: false
}));
app.use(
jwt({
secret: "hello world !",
algorithms: ["HS256"],
credentialsRequired: false,
})
);
```

## Typescript

An `ExpressJwtRequest` type is provided which extends `express.Request` with the `auth` property.

```typescript
import { expressjwt, ExpressJwtRequest } from "express-jwt";

app.get(
"/protected",
expressjwt({ secret: "shhhhhhared-secret", algorithms: ["HS256"] }),
function (req: ExpressJwtRequest, res: express.Response) {
if (!req.auth.admin) return res.sendStatus(401);
res.sendStatus(200);
}
);
```
