Neat example of using JWT This example was build using instructions from node_jwt_example/app.js You can watch the YouTube video of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nafaH9SddU

// ---------- High Level of the Code ------------------

const express = require('express'); const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const app = express();

app.get('/api', (req, res) => { res.json({ message: 'Welcome to the API' }); });

app.post('/api/posts', verifyToken, (req, res) => {
//implement code here });

app.post('/api/login', (req, res) => { // Mock user const user = { //implement code here }

jwt.sign({user}, 'secretkey', { expiresIn: '30s' }, (err, token) => { //implement code here }); });

// FORMAT OF TOKEN // Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

// Verify Token function verifyToken(req, res, next) { //implement code here }

}

app.listen(5000, () => console.log('Server started on port 5000'));
