express-type-augmentor

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables a strongly-typed Express Request by adding an optional user property, enabling reliable access to authentication tokens in TypeScript-based apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Global Express augmentation to expose req.user as an AuthToken type.
• Simplified migration: update tsconfig to include new types and adjust typeRoots.
• Refactor middleware and consumers to rely on standard Express.Request instead of custom interfaces.

Quick Start

Create a global Express type augmentation file at src/types/express.d.ts that extends Express.Request with an optional user property and then adjust tsconfig.json and middleware/consumers accordingly.
