Basic auth for NodeJS

Primary LanguageJavaScript

node-basic-auth

Why?

I needed just very basic auth for NodeJS and I couldn't find a module that worked.

To install:

npm install basic-auth-old

var auth = require('basic-auth')({
  name: 'Auth Box Name',
  accounts: [
    'username:password',
    'user2:pass2'
  ]
})

This is by no means a secure system. This is good if you have a page that just needs to prevent some unauthorized access (such as an intranet).
