Axum Auth

High-level http auth extractors for axum

Usage

Bearer Authentication:

use axum_auth::AuthBearer;
 
/// Handler for a typical axum route, takes a `token` and returns it
async fn handler(AuthBearer(token): AuthBearer) -> String {
    format!("Found a bearer token: {}", token)
}

Basic Authentication:

use axum_auth::AuthBasic;
 
/// Takes basic auth details and shows a message
async fn handler(AuthBasic((id, password)): AuthBasic) -> String {
    if let Some(password) = password {
        format!("User '{}' with password '{}'", id, password)
    } else {
        format!("User '{}' without password", id)
    }
}

Check out the crate documentation for more in-depth information into how both of these methods work!
