# Session From Token Middleware
Middleware to handle generating sessions from tokens, for example like with magic links, or SSO flows similar to SAML.
## Install
`npm install @tryghost/mw-session-from-token --save`
or
`yarn add @tryghost/mw-session-from-token`
## Usage
```js
const sessionFromTokenMiddleware = require('@tryghost/mw-session-from-token')({
callNextWithError: true,
async createSession(req, res, user) {
req.session.user_id = user.id;
},
async getTokenFromRequest(res) {
return req.headers['some-cool-header'];
},
async getLookupFromToken(token) {
await someTokenService.validate(token);
const data = await someTokenService.getData(token);
return data.email;
},
async findUserByLookup(lookup) {
return await someUserModel.findOne({email: lookup});
}
});
someExpressApp.get('/some/sso/url', someSessionMiddleware, sessionFromTokenMiddleware, (req, res, next) => {
res.redirect('/loggedin');
}, (err, res, res, next) => {
