I am trying to implement node authentication

// I am an example of JS code

Server.js code:

const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); const url = require('url'); var httpServer = require('http'); const auth = require("http-auth"); const basic = auth.basic( { realm: "Private Area", file: __dirname + "/htpasswd", }); ... ... function serverHandler(request, response) {

console.log("dirname = ", __dirname); //console.log(user = ${basic.file} + ${user});

basic.check(request, response => {
        response.end(`Welcome to private area, ${basic.file} + ${username}`);

});

I know I'm missing something....but what?

Thanks,

Ray
