Pattern to incorporate auth

[avishaan]

Is there a recommended pattern to incorporate authentication? I usually use passportJS but more generally I just need to call another route before certain routes I have described in my swagger.json. I realize this isn't a question specifically for this library but it's something that might be handy for users switching over to this from vanilla express routes.

Nvm, couldn't find it. I see the securities object but not sure how to set it up with something like basic auth and passport JS. Any suggestions?

@codehatcher, have we actually solved the problem by documenting the auth integration?

[avishaan]

I ended up using my own middleware on the securities object. I think at the time I couldn't find documentation on this. Can you point me to a working example so I can try and incorporate it into my project?

[Schoonology]

I can't, unfortunately. I wound up hacking something together that I'm not sure is entirely idiomatic.

swagger-security currently has an open issue (#203) that makes auth a little harder to use than it should be. I'm working on this soon. If you have any needs, let me know there.
