Description

I would like to use an async middleware. Is this possible?

Hi @FrozenDroid ,

@Middleware(){
    async user(){}
}

see you :)

Hmm, does that also work with $onAuth? I can't get that to work:

    public async $onAuth(req: Request, res: Response, next, options?: any) {
        const firebase: Firebase = InjectorService.get(Firebase);
        const admin = firebase.getAdmin();
        const authorization: string = req.header('Authorization');
        if (!authorization) {
            return next(false);
        }
        const token = authorization.split(' ')[1];
        await admin.auth().verifyIdToken(token).then((decodedToken) => {
            console.log(decodedToken);
        });
        return next(false);
    }

Before the await, returning next(false); works like it's supposed to. After the await, it ignores the return and behaves as if the user is authenticated.

Can you not mix the conversations? it's disturbing ... ^^

Sorry, I probably misunderstood; I thought $onAuth is essentially a middleware?

I'll continue this thread on the original subject ;) #144

These are two different issues. This one is the problem that it doesn't wait for theawait. The other one is just about finding the best method to inject a factory. The way I do it now, the factory works. I just feel like it could be done better.

It's because you use next() function and async at the same time. In your case this example will work:

public $onAuth(req: Request, res: Response, next, options?: any) {
        const firebase: Firebase = InjectorService.get(Firebase);
        const admin = firebase.getAdmin();
        const authorization: string = req.header('Authorization');
        if (!authorization) {
            return next(false);
        }
        const token = authorization.split(' ')[1];
        admin.auth().verifyIdToken(token).then((decodedToken) => {
            console.log(decodedToken);
            next()
        });
}

That works! Awesome :)
Thanks for such an awesome project!
