Basic HTTP authentication with Node and Express 4

Question

It looks like implementing basic HTTP authentication with Express v3 was trivial:

app.use(express.basicAuth(\'username\', \'password\'));

V

Answer 1

I changed in express 4.0 the basic authentication with http-auth, the code is:

var auth = require('http-auth');

var basic = auth.basic({
        realm: "Web."
    }, function (username, password, callback) { // Custom authentication method.
        callback(username === "userName" && password === "password");
    }
);

app.get('/the_url', auth.connect(basic), routes.theRoute);
