About this version
The Usher server is an express REST API that provides endpoints for managing authorization services. The server entry point is set up in such a way that it can be included in other runtime environments such as within AWS Lambda functions.
There are two oas security middleware functions to implement checks for the "self" endpoints and the "admin" endpoints. Each of these middleware add the decoded JWT payload as an attribute named user to the request object, similar to the express-jwt middleware. This req.user object can then be used in any API methods that need information from the JWT payload.
Tests can be run via the npm script: npm test. The tests will default to running against a server running on localhost, but an environment variable, TEST_THEUSHER_SERVER can be set to use instead for the tests. This should contain the protocol, host, and port and should not contain a trailing slash.
