I've encountered an issue with my Auth Middleware - it seems that the middleware isn't being called at all. Even when I intentionally throw an Error within the middleware function, nothing is printed out.
For testing purposes, I only need to invoke the auth middleware on a specific route:
Here's a snippet from my UserRoutes.ts file:
import auth from '../middleware/auth';
export default class UserRoutes {
public UserController: UserController = new UserController();
public routes(app: Application): void {
// ...
app.route('/api/users/me')
.get(this.UserController.me, auth); // calling the auth middleware here
}
Within my middleware, I am trimming the Bearer Space and attempting to identify the user associated with the token retrieved after logging in. The tokens are successfully stored in my mongodb.
This is how my auth middleware is structured:
const auth = async (req: IUserRequest, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
const token = req.header('Authorization').replace('Bearer ', '');
const msg = { auth: false, message: 'No token provided.' };
if (!token) res.status(500).send(msg);
try {
const data: any = jwt.verify(token, JWT_KEY);
const user = await User.findOne({ _id: data._id, 'tokens.token': token });
if (!user) {
throw new Error("Could not find User");
}
req.user = user;
req.token = token;
next();
} catch (error) {
res.status(401).send({ error: 'Not authorized to access this resource.' });
}
}
export default auth;
And here's a glimpse of UserController.ts:
export class UserController {
///...
public me(req: IUserRequest, res: Response) {
res.send(req.user)
}
}
