curli-jwt-authentication-module

Node Jsonwebtoken (Jwt Authentication) implementation for the Curli framework.

Installation

Install by npm

npm install --save curli-jwt-authentication-module

Basic Usage

1 - In the configurations file, declare de followings properties:

@JWT_SECRET: (string) The secret. @JWT_ALGORITHM (boolean) An algorithm supported, chcke jsonwebtoken documentation. @JWT_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN (number|string) expressed in seconds or a string describing a time span zeit/ms

Eg: 60, "2 days", "10h", "7d". A numeric value is interpreted as a seconds count. If you use a string be sure you provide the time units (days, hours, etc), otherwise milliseconds unit is used by default ("120" is equal to "120ms").

2 - Attach the module to the app:

import {JwtAuthenticationModule} from "curli-jwt-authentication-module";

  app.addModule(new JwtAuthenticationModule());

3 - Create a token with the user information and send it back to the front:

const user = {name: 'John', id: 'q345nlkdfh4'};
const token = this.tokenService.sign(user);

**4 - In each request, send the token into the authorization header: **

Authorization: <token>

5 - Get the user into the request:

public async processRequest(request: Request): Promise<JsonResponse> {
    const user = request.getUser();
}
