Small library for nodejs to use HTTP headers authentication behind traefik forward-auth.

## Example how to use it

```ts

import express, { Application } from 'express';

import { authenticate, use, initialize, Strategy } from 'passport';

import { ForwardAuthStrategy, VerifyFunction } from 'passport-forward-auth';

const port = 8082;

const authHeaders = ['X-ForwardUser', 'X-ForwardUserEmail'];

const app: Application = express();

const verifyFn: VerifyFunction = (verifyHeaders, done) => {

  console.log('have user data found in headers', verifyHeaders);

  return !verifyHeaders ? done(null) : done(null, { id: 'user_id' });

};

const createStrategy = (): Strategy => new ForwardAuthStrategy({ authHeaders }, verifyFn);

use(createStrategy());

app.use(initialize());

app.get('/auth/forward-auth', authenticate('forward-auth', { session: false }), (req, res) => {

  res.send({ status: 'ok', user: req.user });

});
