hapijs - chaining request filters through plugins in hapi.js -

i need validate client-key jsonwebtoken header in requests hapi.js rest api.

i using hapi-auth-jwt plugin handle json web tokens - , i'd put in handler checks valid client key in api header upstream - before of web token checks , else - can return 401 if valid client-api-key not included.

should plugin in hapi? if how set order of plugins run - order register plugins?

how set plugin intercept http requests - should make auth scheme?

exports.register = function (server, options, next) {  // somehow set default request handler here somehow? } 

you can register extension function available extension points in hapi request lifecycle.

in case, since want request validated valid client-api-key before being authenticated, extension function can registered onrequest or onpreauth events.

exports.register = function (server, options, next) {       server.ext('onrequest', function (request, reply){          //validate request object here.          if (valid) reply.continue();         else reply(boom.unauthorized('invalid api key'));     });      next(); }
