# Simple Node JWT-Token Authentication starter kit.

![alt tag](http://i.imgur.com/vlLzUe4.gif)

This repo uses JSON Web Tokens and the [jsonwebtoken](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken) package to implement token based authentication on a simple Node.js API with a MongoDB Database.

This is a starting point to have an API up and running in notime.

The Api Features:

	- JWT Auth Token

	- User Management

##Installation

###With Docker

- edit `.env.example` and save it as `.env`

- docker-compose up

###Without Docker

This project needs NodeJS > v5.0.0, MongoDB and `forever` to manage the process.

- clone the project `git clone [email protected]:negativo/JWT-Auth-NodeJS-Starter-Kit`

- run `npm install`

- run `mongod`

- edit `.env.example` and save it as `.env`

- `npm start`

- `npm test`

##API

###Setup test user

To setup an admin user edit your `.env` file and request the url  `http://localhost:8282/setup`

`curl http://localhost:8282/setup`

###Versioning

###Authenticate

To authenticate a user do a POST request to http://localhost:8282/auth

with the `name` and the `password` in the body

	{

		name:"jwtauth",

		password:"jwtauth"

	}

`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET http://localhost:8080/setup`

`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "name":"user","password":"password"}' http://localhost:8080/api/auth`
