Daniel Lockyer 265a8dd16f Added function names to more middleware
refs 319f251ad2

- this helps debugging because all middleware in the stack will have a
  function name, so it'll show up instead of `<anonymous>`

# Session From Token Middleware
Middleware to handle generating sessions from tokens, for example like with magic links, or SSO flows similar to SAML.
## 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, function sessionFromTokenMiddleware(req, res, next) {
res.redirect('/loggedin');
}, function nextMw(err, res, res, next) => {
res.redirect('/error');
});
```
