Node Cookie JWT Tutorial

Written for the Medium article: Passport.js HttpOnly Cookie JWT Authentication

Install

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/alphonso06/Node-Cookie-JWT.git
$ cd node-cookie-jwt
$ npm install

Environment Variables

At the root of the project, create dev.env to store your env vars. Inside you'll need to store your USER and PASSWORD values. You'll also need to add the JWT_SECRET and JWT_EXPIRATION values.

USER=genericGuy
PASSWORD=Ultr@S3cUr3!
JWT_SECRET=wow123
JWT_EXPIRATION_TIME=600000

Running the app

Simply run the command:

$ npm run dev

Everything should work if the env vars were setup correctly.

API Routes

It's recommended that you use something like Postman to test the routes, otherwise you can use whatever you're comfortable with as long as it works fine for you.
