JWT token auth

Very simple authentification and authorization application using JWT´s (JSON Web Token)

Prerequisites

Must have node, nodemon, npm, tsc and typings installed

How to use

Install node dependencies in your project root directory (this is where the 'package.json' file is located) using:

$ npm install

Install typescript definition files in your project root directory (this is where the 'typings.json' file is located) using:

$ typings install

Start typescript compiler in watch mode

$ tsc -w

Start application in watch mode

$ nodemon main.js

When started the application will start node-express web server on http://localhost:3033 by default. There are two main routes:

1. http://localhost:3033/restricted - routes that you can access if you have the right user permissions,
2. http://localhost:3033/login -route for authorization and authentification. This route requires you to send username and password fields through request body. If authenticated the user is responded with a JWT cookie and you can try to access routes under /restricted routes.

Restricted routes:

1. http://localhost:3033/restricted/1/api and http://localhost:3033/restricted/1/list can be accessed if the user claims has permissions = 1
2. http://localhost:3033/restricted/2/api and http://localhost:3033/restricted/2/list can be accessed if the user claims has permissions = 2
3. http://localhost:3033/restricted/3/api and http://localhost:3033/restricted/3/list can be accessed if the user claims has permissions = 3

This list of valid users can be found and modified at ./users/users.js.
