Description

This PR addresses issue #147 by adding the ability to configure which locations are checked for JWT tokens (header, query, or body parameters). Previously, the middleware would automatically check all possible token locations. Now, users can restrict token extraction to specific locations for enhanced security.

Changes

  • Added TokenLocation enum
  • Added configuration options for token locations in auth middleware
  • Updated documentation with example usage
  • Added tests to verify behavior with different configurations

References

Testing

  • Verified tokens are only extracted from specified locations
  • Confirmed default behavior matches RFC6750
  • Added tests for using both enum and boolean config options
  • Checked behavior with array of token locations works correctly
  • This change adds test coverage for new/changed/fixed functionality

Checklist

  • I have added documentation for new/changed functionality in this PR or in auth0.com/docs
  • All active GitHub checks for tests, formatting, and security are passing
  • The correct base branch is being used, if not the default branch

To fix the syntax error:

  1. Correct the incomplete identifier Insufficie on line 19 by completing it as InsufficientScopeError.
  2. Ensure the code is syntactically valid and properly formatted.
  3. Verify that the corrected code aligns with the intended functionality and does not introduce new issues.

The fix involves editing the import statement on line 19 to restore the missing portion of the identifier.

To fix the syntax error, the misplaced code needs to be corrected. Specifically:

  1. The Insufficie fragment on line 20 should be completed as InsufficientScopeError and properly aligned with the import statement on line 19.
  2. The it('should succeed when token is in query', async () => { test case should be moved to its proper location after the imports.

This fix ensures that the code is syntactically correct and can be executed as intended.
