PlugBasicAuth

A plug for protecting routers with HTTP Basic Auth.

It expects a :username and :password to be passed as binaries at initialization.

The user will be prompted for a username and password upon accessing any of the routes using this plug.

If the username and password are correct, the user will be able to access the page.

If the username and password are incorrect, the user will be prompted to enter them again.

Example

defmodule TopSecret do
  import Plug.Conn
  use Plug.Router

  plug PlugBasicAuth, username: "Snorky", password: "Capone"
  plug :match
  plug :dispatch

  get '/speakeasy' do
    conn
    |> put_resp_content_type("text/plain")
    |> send_resp(200, "Welcome to the party.")
  end
end
