Code Modifications

Once installed, to use the library, simply modify the Configure method in your startup.cs to call the library in any one of two ways:

Authorize a Single User

For simple use cases, this may satisfy your need. PLEASE take steps to avoid having credentials in code

using joelbyford;

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
        ...
        string basicAuthRealm = "mywebsite.com";
        string basicAuthUser = "testUser"; //hardcoded values here for example only
        string basicAuthPass = "testPass"; //hardcoded values here for example only
        app.UseMiddleware<joelbyford.BasicAuth>(basicAuthRealm, basicAuthUser, basicAuthPass);
    }

Authorize a Dictionary of Users

If you would like to control how and where you get the users and passwords from, this method is best (e.g. you are obtaining from a database). PLEASE take steps to avoid having credentials in code

using joelbyford;
using System.IO;
using System.Text.Json;

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
        ...
        Dictionary<string, string> myUsers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
        var packageJson = File.ReadAllText("authorizedUsers.json");
        myUsers = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>>(packageJson);
        string basicAuthRealm = "mywebsite.com";
        app.UseMiddleware<joelbyford.BasicAuth>(basicAuthRealm, myUsers);
    }

In this example, a json file is loaded from the web app's root directory with the following format:

{    
    "testUser" : "testPassword",
    "devUser" : "devPassword"
}

This can of course be loaded in from a database call instead as long as users and passwords are loaded into a Dictionary<string, string>

To see an example of this in use, please see startup.cs in the https://github.com/joelbyford/CSVtoJSONcore repo.
