BookService is developed in Go using net/http package and connected to MongoDB. Athorization to use the service is granted through JWT tokens with a lifespane of 5 minutes. JWT tokens are granted to registered users upon the sign in. The BookService supports GET, PUT, DELETE and POST requests for registered users.
Operations related to user.
User must register to be able to use the API. Send a JSON object containing "username" and "password" fields in a POST request to be registered. Example:
{
"username":"username",
"password":"password"
}After registering, authenticate by sending a POST request containing your username and password. Upon successful authentication, you'll receive a JWT token with a set expiration time
In order to have the access to the core routes of the API, user must be authenticated and hold a valid JWT token in a Cookie.
