CSRF tokens for koa

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Koa CSRF Build Status

CSRF tokens for koa.

API

To install, do:

require('koa-csrf')(app, options)

Options

Since people seem to really care about the entropy of CSRF tokens, the hashing algorithm, etc. You can override these functions:

  • length - Secret key length, default 15.
  • secret - (length) -> [string] a function that creates a secret stored as this.session.secret
  • salt - (length) -> [string] a function that creates a salt.
  • tokenize - (secret, salt) -> salt;[string] a function that creates the CSRF token.

this.csrf

Lazily creates a CSRF token. CSRF tokens change on every request.

app.use(function* () {
  this.render({
    csrf: this.csrf
  })
})

this.assertCSRF([body])

Check the CSRF token of a request with an optional body. Will throw if the CSRF token does not exist or is not valid.

app.use(function* () {
  var body = yield parse(this) // co-body or something
  try {
    this.assertCSRF(body)
  } catch (err) {
    this.status = 403
    this.body = {
      message: 'This CSRF token is invalid!'
    }
    return
  }
})
