# AccessTokenExtractor
Simple Plug to extract access_token from request and add it to private map in Plug.Conn struct.
Access token must be provided as query param named access_token or should be provided as authorization header
### SETUP
Add following dependency to mix.exs
```elixir
defp deps do
# Add the dependency
[{:access_token_extractor , "~> 0.1.0"}]
end
```
### How to provide access token
http://some_url.com?access_token=abc
OR in authorization headers as follows
authorization: Token token=abc
This plug will extract token provided in any of above ways as assign it to private map in Plug.Conn struct
You can access it using `conn.private.access_token`
### Example:
```elixir
def MyModule
import Plug.Builder, only: [plug: 1]
import AccessTokenExtractor
# second argument is optional. By default key is access_token
plug :AccessTokenExtractor, key: :token
end
```
In above example access token can be retrived as `conn.private.token` where conn is `Plug.Conn` struct
