About

Simple APIs for user authentication using JWT where you can send web requests to register, login or checkToken. Here I am using DI pattern to wire between different modules.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. some of the node.js modules used here bcrypt jsonwebtoken

Prerequisites

Node.js and npm.

node -v

Installing

Install all the modules then run the server in either dev or prod mode

npm install

And

npm run start

Usage

To register a new user you can issue a POST request:

curl -X POST -d '{"username": "joe", "password":"1234"}' http://localhost:3000/user/register -H "Content-Type: application/json"

To login issue a POST request you should receive a token back if successful like

curl -X POST -d '{"username": "joe", "password":"1234"}' http://localhost:3000/user/login -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Check if token is valid

curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:3000/user/checkToken\?token\=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6ImJzYnMiLCJleHAiOjE1OTI1NTA1NDQsImlhdCI6MTU5MjU0Njk0NH0.RTFWeuNJw6loxQUUio5KhC7u1ufyfkudbkg21eSUxsg
