# JWT Authentication System with Public API Microservice

## Project Overview

This project demonstrates how to build a JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication system using Node.js. The system is split into two main components:

## Main Service: Handles user authentication and authorization using JWT, manages user registration, login, and candidate information.

Public API Microservice: Provides a public API accessible via API keys, allowing access to user profiles and candidate data without traditional email/password authentication.

Features

User Authentication and Authorization:

Register users with hashed passwords.

Log in users and generate JWT tokens.

Protect certain routes using JWT authentication.

## Candidate Management:

Add candidates to the database, associated with the currently authenticated user.

Retrieve candidates associated with the logged-in user.

## Public API Microservice:

Provides access to user profile and candidate information using an API key instead of JWT tokens.

Secured endpoints accessible via API keys.

## Main Service

This service is responsible for handling user authentication and candidate management.

Endpoints

## User Authentication Endpoints:

POST /api/register: Register a new user.

POST /api/login: Log in an existing user and receive a JWT token.

POST /api/protected: Access a protected route (JWT token required).

Candidate Management Endpoints:

POST /api/candidate: Add a new candidate (JWT token required).

GET /api/candidate: Retrieve candidates for the currently authenticated user (JWT token required).

Public API Microservice

This service provides public access to user profiles and candidate information using API keys.

Endpoints

## Profile Endpoints:

POST /api/public/profile: Retrieve user profile information using an API key.

Candidate Endpoints:

GET /api/public/candidate: Retrieve all candidates associated with a user using an API key.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

> Node.js

> MongoDB

## Future Improvements

Implement rate-limiting for the Public API.

Add API key management (generate, revoke keys).

Implement logging and monitoring for enhanced observability.

Add testing with tools like Jest.
