An example API for creating/verifying json web tokens.

Yes, the private key is in the repo. Not secure. I know.

npm install

npm start

docker run -d --name express-jwt -p 8000:8000 circa10a/express-jwt

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/circa10a/express-jwt/master/k8s-deployment.yaml

Then navigate to http://localhost:8000/ to see the swagger api docs.

Default listens on port 8000, but can be changed by specifying a PORT environment variable.

To obtain your JWT, you must authenticate against /login with Basic Auth.

There are 2 hardcoded sample users in config/config.js that can be used. You can also easily append to the object for more fake users.

Users

In config/config.js the default expiration time of a JWT is 1h

curl -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" http://localhost:8000/login

You can use the token previously acquired via curl or here's a token with no expiration you can test with:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmb28iOiJiYXIiLCJpYXQiOjE1NjIzNDc0MzR9.g0-jxWgWVc98C6EzEWYoWxyIXVY3xmzgIZfD32PBZfrwrVrTiAqP69IrJ3DKBseeVgf2dwOm4ennwpakHXv-xxfZyMoM8-nfwJardv0Pr4bToBhGwxJhe-g1Hy7ygID5XpqQok9zY_R-0vZn-o-opi9VZYvTft9ZBAPEdj9oPZrRk_LfrrMQjO-oK9BiNQTjZm0rzFsqetk8FmqKwtb-TDPmmkgS0remsbsJzyvAi2x6r7fosljM2t0vjxdGzumbU4pxuSsQUjoRDzPG0VAH2rKNHECFqmCWJ8myIBOobYYAt7TIW0TzzJkyXb9amfDjy1IBlZyvwEznTUT_XBh6hQ" http://localhost:8000/protected
