ts custom auth

will be develivered with cds 7.6

You can use proper types:

import { Request } from '@sap/cds';

export default function custom_auth(request: Request, response: Response, next: Function) {}

The request here is the express request object. There might be types available for express as well but I'd prefer to have that snippet as simple as possible.

Express request doesn't have "user" property which you might want to set here. That's why I import cds type. Response can be imported from express types.
Proper typing is important for ts example. With all those anys you might as well convert it to js example. "export default" is perfectly valid in js.

The cds.Request type is simply wrong as e. g. query has a completely different semantic in the express request object.

For proper type support one would need to enhance the request type of express. I'll double check for improving the snippet. If it grows too big, I'll add a comment in the snippet.
