> Bearer token parser middleware for koa

Inspired by [express-bearer-token](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-bearer-token)

## Installation

```sh
$ npm install koa-bearer-token
```

## What?

Per [RFC6750](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750) this module will attempt to extract a bearer token from a request from these locations:

- The key `access_token` in the request body.
- The key `access_token` in the request query params.
- The value from the header `Authorization: Bearer `.
- (Optional) Get a token from cookies header with key `access_token`.

If a token is found, it will be stored on `ctx.request.token`. If one has been provided in more than one location, this will abort the request immediately by sending code 400 (per [RFC6750]).

```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const bodyParser = require('koa-bodyparser');
const { bearerToken } = require('koa-bearer-token');

const app = new Koa();

app.use(bodyParser());
app.use(bearerToken());

app.use((ctx) => {
// ctx.request.token
});

app.listen(3000);
```

For APIs which are not compliant with [RFC6750], the key for the token in each location is customizable, as is the key the token is bound to on the request (default configuration shown):

```js
app.use(
bearerToken({
bodyKey: 'access_token',
queryKey: 'access_token',
headerKey: 'Bearer',
reqKey: 'token',
}),
);
```

Get token from cookie key (it can be signed or not)

**Warning**: by **NOT** passing `{ signed: true }` you are accepting a non signed cookie and an attacker might spoof the cookies. so keep in mind to use signed cookies

```js
app.use(
bearerToken({
cookie: {
signed: true, // if passed true you must pass secret otherwise will throw error
secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
key: 'access_token', // default value
},
}),
);
```

## TypeScript

As of version 2.0.1 we've added initial support for TypeScript.

If you're using your custom `reqKey`, you must do [module augmentation](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-merging.html#module-augmentation) on your own:

```ts
declare module 'koa' {
interface Request {
myToken?: string;
}
}

app.use(
bearerToken({
reqKey: 'myToken',
}),
);
```
