@loopback/example-todo-jwt

This is a modified LoopBack 4 Todo application with JWT authentication, using the @loopback/authentication-jwt extension.

Overview

This tutorial demonstrates how to add JWT authentication to the Todo application.

Usage

Start the application by running npm start and go to http://localhost:3000/explorer. You’ll see the 3 new endpoints under UserController together with the other endpoints under TodoController.

1. Sign up using the/signup API

   Since we don’t have any users created, click on POST /signup. For the requestBody, the minimum you need is email and password. i.e.

   {
     "email": "[e-mail]",
     "password": "testuser2"
   }

2. Log in using thePOST /users/login API

   After calling /users/login , the response body will look something like:

   {
     "token": "aaaaaaaaa.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
   }

   Copy the token. Go to the top of the API Explorer, click the “Authorize” button.

   

   Paste the token that you previously copied to the “Value” field and then click Authorize.

   

   In the future API calls, this token will be added to the Authorization header .

3. Get all todos using GET /todos API You should be able to call this API successfully.
