Express Meshblu Authentication Middleware

express-meshblu-auth is an Express.js middleware library designed to handle all authentication styles for the Meshblu IoT platform. It simplifies the process of integrating Meshblu device authentication into Express applications by supporting various methods including cookies (meshblu_auth_uuid, meshblu_auth_token), HTTP headers (using the same cookie names), Basic authentication, and Bearer tokens. The library provides middleware functions like `auth()`, `get()`, `gateway()`, `gatewayDevice()`, and `gatewayRedirect()` to retrieve, validate, and attach Meshblu credentials and device information to the request object, or enforce access control. The current stable version is 9.2.1. While there isn't a strict release cadence, the project has seen several updates within major version 9 and a jump from v8 to v9, indicating active maintenance. Its primary differentiation lies in its specific integration with the Meshblu ecosystem, offering out-of-the-box support for its authentication paradigms.
