Overview

Utility package for extracting JWT tokens from HTTP requests.

The main function is ParseFromRequest and it's WithClaims variant. See examples for how to use the various Extractor implementations or roll your own.

Variables

var AuthorizationHeaderExtractor = &PostExtractionFilter{
	HeaderExtractor{"Authorization"},
	stripBearerPrefixFromTokenString,
}

AuthorizationHeaderExtractor extracts a bearer token from Authorization header Uses PostExtractionFilter to strip "Bearer " prefix from header

var (
	ErrNoTokenInRequest = errors.New("no token present in request")
)

Errors

var OAuth2Extractor = &MultiExtractor{
	AuthorizationHeaderExtractor,
	ArgumentExtractor{"access_token"},
}

OAuth2Extractor is an Extractor for OAuth2 access tokens. Looks in 'Authorization' header then 'access_token' argument for a token.

Functions

func ParseFromRequest

func ParseFromRequest(req *http.Request, extractor Extractor, keyFunc jwt.Keyfunc, options ...ParseFromRequestOption) (token *jwt.Token, err error)

ParseFromRequest extracts and parses a JWT token from an HTTP request. This behaves the same as Parse, but accepts a request and an extractor instead of a token string. The Extractor interface allows you to define the logic for extracting a token. Several useful implementations are provided.

You can provide options to modify parsing behavior

func ParseFromRequestWithClaims

func ParseFromRequestWithClaims(req *http.Request, extractor Extractor, claims jwt.Claims, keyFunc jwt.Keyfunc) (token *jwt.Token, err error)

ParseFromRequestWithClaims is an alias for ParseFromRequest but with custom Claims type.

Deprecated: use ParseFromRequest and the WithClaims option

Types

type ArgumentExtractor

type ArgumentExtractor []string

ArgumentExtractor extracts a token from request arguments. This includes a POSTed form or GET URL arguments. Argument names are tried in order until there's a match. This extractor calls `ParseMultipartForm` on the request

Example

req := makeExampleRequest("GET", "/", nil, url.Values{"token": {extractorTestTokenA}})
tokenString, err := ArgumentExtractor{"token"}.ExtractToken(req)
if err == nil {
	fmt.Println(tokenString)
} else {
	fmt.Println(err)
}

Output:

A

func (ArgumentExtractor) ExtractToken

func (e ArgumentExtractor) ExtractToken(req *http.Request) (string, error)

type Extractor

type Extractor interface {
	ExtractToken(*http.Request) (string, error)
}

Extractor is an interface for extracting a token from an HTTP request. The ExtractToken method should return a token string or an error. If no token is present, you must return ErrNoTokenInRequest.

type HeaderExtractor

type HeaderExtractor []string

HeaderExtractor is an extractor for finding a token in a header. Looks at each specified header in order until there's a match

Example

req := makeExampleRequest("GET", "/", map[string]string{"Token": exampleTokenA}, nil)
tokenString, err := HeaderExtractor{"Token"}.ExtractToken(req)
if err == nil {
	fmt.Println(tokenString)
} else {
	fmt.Println(err)
}

Output:

A

func (HeaderExtractor) ExtractToken

func (e HeaderExtractor) ExtractToken(req *http.Request) (string, error)

type MultiExtractor

type MultiExtractor []Extractor

MultiExtractor tries Extractors in order until one returns a token string or an error occurs

func (MultiExtractor) ExtractToken

func (e MultiExtractor) ExtractToken(req *http.Request) (string, error)

type ParseFromRequestOption

type ParseFromRequestOption func(*fromRequestParser)

func WithClaims

func WithClaims(claims jwt.Claims) ParseFromRequestOption

WithClaims parses with custom claims

func WithParser

func WithParser(parser *jwt.Parser) ParseFromRequestOption

WithParser parses using a custom parser

type PostExtractionFilter

type PostExtractionFilter struct {
	Extractor
	Filter func(string) (string, error)
}

PostExtractionFilter wraps an Extractor in this to post-process the value before it's handed off. See AuthorizationHeaderExtractor for an example

func (*PostExtractionFilter) ExtractToken

func (e *PostExtractionFilter) ExtractToken(req *http.Request) (string, error)
