Inspired by https://ciphertrick.com/2017/01/11/token-based-authentication-node-js-using-jwt/
You need to have a mongo database running.
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:27017:27017 --name some-mongo -d mongo
git clone https://github.com/stigbd/a-simple-authentication-service.git
cd a-simple-authentication-service
npm install
nano .env # add environment variables
npm run dev
Put the following in a file with filename .env:
SECRET=secret
HOST=localhost
PORT=3003
DBHOST=localhost
DBPORT=27017
TEST_DATABASE=user
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -X GET http://localhost:3003/secret # should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"user@example.com", "password":"secret"}' -X POST http://localhost:3003/user # To create a user
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"user@example.com", "password":"secret"}' -X POST http://localhost:3003/authenticate # To authenticate the user and get a jsonwebtoken
curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer <paste in your jsontoken from the body in the preceeding call>" -X GET http://localhost:3003/secret # should return 200 Ok and a secret message in the body
npm run start_test # to start the server in test mode
npm run test # in another terminal window
