/jwt-go-example

Example application that implements JWT based authentication

Primary LanguageGo

JWT Go example

Example application based on my blog post on Implementing JWT based authentication in Golang

To run this application, build and run the Go binary:

go build
./jwt-go-example

Now, using any HTTP client with support for cookies (like Postman, or your web browser) make a sign-in request with the appropriate credentials:

POST http://localhost:8000/signin

{"username":"user1","password":"password1"}

You can now try hitting the welcome route from the same client to get the welcome message:

GET http://localhost:8000/welcome

Hit the refresh route, and then inspect the clients cookies to see the new value of the token cookie:

POST http://localhost:8000/refresh
