Introduction

The hapi-authorized-scope plugin determines and stores the scope that authorized an authenticated request. You'll find the scope authorizing the request in request.auth.authorizedScope.

In hapi, you’ll find all auth-related details in request.auth, that’s the reason this plugin adds the authorizedScope property there:

{
  isAuthenticated: true,
  isAuthorized: true,
  credentials: { username: 'marcus', scope: ['admin', 'user'] },
  artifacts: null,
  strategy: 'test',
  mode: 'required',
  error: null,
  isInjected: true,
  authorizedScope: 'user'  // <-- added: the authorized scope that let the user access a route
}

Requirements

hapi v19 (or later) and Node.js v12 (or newer)

This plugin requires hapi v19 (or later) and Node.js v12 or newer.

Compatibility

Major Release	hapi.js version	Node.js version
v2	>=17 hapi	>=12
v1	>=17 hapi	>=8

Installation

Add hapi-authorized-scope as a dependency to your project:

npm i hapi-authorized-scope

Usage

The usage is pretty straightforward: register the plugin to your hapi server and that’s it:

await server.register({
  plugin: require('hapi-authorized-scope')
})

// went smooth like chocolate :)

hapi-authorized-scope extends the request lifecycle onPostAuth and finds the first scope in the authenticated credentials that authorizes the request to access the route.

In your route handlers or request lifecycle extension points, you may access the authorized scope like this:

{
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/profile',
  options: {
    handler: async (request, h) {
      const authorizedScope = request.auth.authorizedScope

      Logger.debug(`Scope authorizing the user to access this route: ${authorizedScope}`)

      return h.view('profile')
    }
  }
}

Enjoy!
