I'm using var basicAuth = require('basic-auth'); and I need to check if the user is authorized.

var basicAuth  = require('basic-auth');
module.exports.authorize = function authorize(req, res, next) {
    var authInfo = basicAuth(req);
    bluebird.resolve().then(() => {
        if (!authInfo) { // Authorization header is not provided, send forbidden.
          throw new Error('Invalid username and/or password.');
        }
    }
};

@AxOn And if user is not authorized - what should happened? – Krzysztof Safjanowski Mar 29 '16 at 18:00
@KrzysztofSafjanowski, else no matter, just some console.log – AxOn Mar 29 '16 at 18:10
@AxOn change line where error is thrown to console.log and for the future some documentation can help you - https://github.com/jshttp/basic-auth – Krzysztof Safjanowski Mar 29 '16 at 18:26
