Content
const app = new Hono()
app.use(
'/auth/*',
basicAuth({
username: 'hono',
password: 'acoolproject',
})
)
app.get('/auth/page', (c) => {
return c.text('You are authorized')
})
To restrict to a specific route + method:
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/auth/page', (c) => {
return c.text('Viewing page')
})
app.delete(
'/auth/page',
basicAuth({ username: 'hono', password: 'acoolproject' }),
(c) => {
return c.text('Page deleted')
}
)
If you want to verify the user by yourself, specify the verifyUser option; returning true means it is accepted.
const app = new Hono()
app.use(
basicAuth({
verifyUser: (username, password, c) => {
return (
username === 'dynamic-user' && password === 'hono-password'
)
},
})
)
