# Basic Authentication
Basic Authentication middleware for [Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber) that provides an HTTP basic authentication. It calls the next handler for valid credentials and [401 Unauthorized](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/401) or a custom response for missing or invalid credentials.

### Signatures
```go
func New(config Config) fiber.Handler
```

### Examples
Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework
```go
import (
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/basicauth"
)
```

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:
```go
// Provide a minimal config
app.Use(basicauth.New(basicauth.Config{
	Users: map[string]string{
		"john":  "doe",
		"admin": "123456",
	},
}))

// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(basicauth.New(basicauth.Config{
	Users: map[string]string{
		"john":  "doe",
		"admin": "123456",
	},
	Realm: "Forbidden",
	Authorizer: func(user, pass string) bool {
		if user == "john" && pass == "doe" {
			return true
		}
		if user == "admin" && pass == "123456" {
			return true
		}
		return false
	},
	Unauthorized: func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
		return c.SendFile("./unauthorized.html")
	},
	ContextUsername: "_user",
	ContextPassword: "_pass",
}))
```
