NodeJS JWT Authentication sample

This is a NodeJS API that supports username and password authentication with JWTs.

Available APIs

User APIs

POST /sessions/create

You can do a POST to /sessions/create to log a user in.

The body must have:

• username: The username
• password: The password

It returns the following:

{
  "id_token": {jwt}
}

The JWT is signed with the secret located at the config.json file. That JWT will contain the username and the roles hard-coded in user-routes.js

GET /api/protected

You can do a GET to /api/protected to ensure your token is valid. It returns an empty 200 response if the token is still valid.
