csurf with a ignoring routes ability

Node.js CSRF protection middleware fork based on the csurf module.

Requires either a session middleware or cookie-parser to be initialized first.

• If you are setting the "cookie" option to a non-false value, then you must use cookie-parser before this module.
• Otherwise, you must use a session middleware before this module. For example:
  • express-session
  • cookie-session

If you have questions on how this module is implemented, please read Understanding CSRF.

Installation

$ npm install csurf-noroutes

API

var csurfNoRoutes = require('csurf-noroutes')

csurfNoRoutes([options])

Create a middleware for CSRF token creation and validation. This middleware adds a req.csrfToken() function to make a token which should be added to requests which mutate state, within a hidden form field, query-string etc. This token is validated against the visitor's session or csrf cookie.

Options

The csurf-noroutes function takes an optional options object that may contain any of the csurf legacy keys.

A new option is available

ignoreRoutes

an array of routes that you want the module to ignore when looking up for a valid CSRF (typically routes used by the POST method). This parameter supports the use of regular expressions to define url patterns.

With Strings :

{ignoreRoutes:['/my/first/route','/mySecond/route','etc..']}

With a Regex :

{ignoreRoutes:[/\/remoteCalls\/(.*)/g]}

Both :

{ignoreRoutes:['/remoteCalls/login',/\/remoteCalls\/(.*)/g]}
