TypeScript Rest JWT
===


JWT authentication for typescript-rest via decorators.

Precursor
---

To get started with typescript-rest-jwt, visit typescript-rest
for a detailed getting started guide of the underlying library.

Usage
---

Install:

``
npm install -s typescript-rest-jwt
`

Update an existing controller:

`typescript
import { GET, Path, PathParam } from 'typescript-rest'

@Path('/hello')
export class HelloController {

@Path('/')
@GET
public sayHello(): string {
return 'Hello, World!'
}

@Path('/:name')
@GET
public sayHelloTo (@PathParam('name') name: string): string {
return Hello ${name}!
}
}
`

`typescript
import { Context, GET, Path } from 'typescript-rest'
import { AuthPath } from 'typescript-rest-jwt'

// You must update the class level Path to also be an AuthPath, even
// if you still have unsecured routes.
@AuthPath('/hello')
export class HelloController {
// Inject the service context to get access to the user info
@Context
public context: ServiceContext

// Still unsecured
@Path('/')
@GET
public sayHello(): string {
return 'Hello, World!'
}

@AuthPath('/secured')
@GET
public sayHelloTo (): string {
return Hello ${this.context.request.user.name}!
}
}
`

Before your call to typescript-rest's Server.buildServices, we need to configure
our AuthHandler:

`typescript
import { AuthHandler } from 'typescript-rest-jwt'

...

AuthHandler.configure(app, jwtConfig)
Server.buildServices(app, ...controllers)
`

AuthHandler.configure either accepts `string` secret or `expressJWT.Options``.
