# JWT Authentication for Flask
This is source code for a video I made when demonstrating how to implement JWT Authentication for Flask REST APIs. This videos series walks through the following.
- Project SetUp
- Database Management with Flask-SQLAlchemy
- User Account Creation
- JWT Authentication with Flask-JWT-Extended

# How to run the project
1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/jod35/JWT-Auth-for-Flask.git && cd JWT-Auth-for-Flask.git/
```

2. Install requirements
```bash
pip install requirements.txt
```

3. Create a `.env` file and set environment variables
```
FLASK_SECRET_KEY=
FLASK_DEBUG=
FLASK_SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI=
FLASK_SQLALCHEMY_ECHO=
```

4. Create a `FLASK_APP` environment variable.
```bash
export FLASK_APP=src/
```

5. Create the database by running
```bash
flask shell
```

6. In the interactive shell run the following
```
Python 3.11.1 (tags/v3.11.1:a7a450f, Dec 6 2022, 19:58:39) [MSC v.1934 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
