# fastify-guard
> A simple user role and scope check plugin to protect endpoints for [Fastify](https://github.com/fastify/fastify).
[](https://npmjs.com/fastify-guard)
[](https://packagephobia.com/result?p=fastify-guard)
`fastify-guard` is designed to protect API endpoints by checking authenticated user roles and/or scopes if they met. `guard` is the registered Fastify decorator and can be used in anywhere.
Inspired by [express-jwt-permissions](https://github.com/MichielDeMey/express-jwt-permissions).
**Note:** Fastify v4 support is shipped with v2.0.0.
## Install
```
$ npm install fastify-guard
```
## Usage
```js
const fastify = require('fastify')()
const fastifyGuard = require('fastify-guard')
fastify.register(
fastifyGuard,
{
errorHandler: (result, req, reply) => {
return reply.send('you are not allowed to call this route')
}
}
)
// this route can only be called by users who has 'cto' and 'admin' roles
fastify.get(
'/admin',
{ preHandler: [fastify.guard.role(['cto', 'admin'])] },
(req, reply) => {
// 'user' should already be defined in req object
reply.send(req.user)
}
)
// this route can only be called by users who has 'admin' or 'editor' role
fastify.get(
'/',
{ preHandler: [fastify.guard.role('admin', 'editor')] },
(req, reply) => {
// 'user' should already be defined in req object
reply.send(req.user)
}
)
/*
http://localhost:3000 -> will print out below result if the authenticated user does not have 'admin' role
you are not allowed to call this route
*/
fastify.get(
'/has-role',
(req, reply) => {
// 'user' should already be defined in req object
reply.send(
fastify.guard.hasRole(req, 'admin') // will return a boolean value
)
}
)
fastify.get(
'/has-scope',
(req, reply) => {
// 'user' should already be defined in req object
reply.send(
fastify.guard.hasScope(req, 'profile') // will return a boolean value
)
}
)
fastify.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Fastify server is running on port: 3000')
})
/*
http://localhost:3000 -> will print out below result if the authenticated user does not have 'admin' role
you are not allowed to call this route
*/
```

## API
### `guard.role(role)`
Returns a function which checks if the authenticated user has the given role(s). Multiple roles can be sent as separated parameters or in an array. If the given role(s) was not assigned to the authenticated user, the function will throw an HTTP Error (if no errorHandler provided in options otherwise the errorHandler will be invoked). The function supposed to be used in `preHandler` hook.
### `guard.hasRole(request, role)`
Returns a boolean value which indicates the authenticated user has the given role.
`request` is the Fastify request object
`role` is role name
### `guard.scope(scope)`
Returns a function which checks if the authenticated user has the given scope(s). Multiple scopes can be sent as separated parameters or in an array. If the given scope(s) was not assigned to the authenticated user, the function will throw an HTTP Error (if no errorHandler provided in options otherwise the errorHandler will be invoked). The function supposed to be used in `preHandler` hook.
### `guard.hasScope(request, scope)`
Returns a boolean value which indicates the authenticated user has the given scope.
`request` is the Fastify request object
`scope` is scope name
