# SpringJWT
**SpringJWT** is a demo project designed to help developers understand how to implement **JWT (JSON Web Token)** authentication with **Spring Security**. This project showcases a backend solution using bearer tokens for secure authentication and includes a sample frontend for testing purposes.
## Features
- **JWT Authentication**: Secure user authentication using JWT bearer tokens.
- **Spring Security Integration**: Leveraging Spring Security to manage user access.
- **Token Generation and Validation**: Supports token issuance and validation with secure key management.
- **Sample Frontend**: A basic frontend provided for testing authentication and secure routes.
- **Custom Exception Handling**: Handles invalid credentials and other security exceptions.

```
## How It Works
1. **JWT Token Generation**: After successful login or registration, the backend generates a JWT token using user credentials.
2. **Token Validation**: For secure routes, the token is validated to authenticate the user.
3. **Role-Based Authorization**: Different user roles can access specific routes based on the token.
4. **Sample Frontend Testing**: The frontend helps test login and authentication flow.
## Requirements
- **Java 11+**
- **Maven**
- **Spring Boot**
- **MySQL** (or any compatible database)
- **Postman** (for API testing)
## Getting Started
### 1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/gayanukabulegoda/SpringJWT.git
```
### 2. Configure the Application
Edit `application.properties` to set your MySQL connection details:
```bash
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/springjwt
spring.datasource.username=YOUR_USERNAME
spring.datasource.password=YOUR_PASSWORD
```
### 3. Build and Run the Application
```bash
mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run
```
The backend will start running at `http://localhost:8080`.
### 4. Frontend Testing
The project includes a simple frontend to test JWT authentication.
