This project describes the steps involed in a authentication process between client & server using JWT tokens.
Find it on my Github repo :

First you need to generate some tokens

1. It's very easy just enter node and then the code in below image.
   

2. Then add these tokens in your .env file as ACCESS_TOKEN_PATH & REFRESH_TOKEN_PATH.
   

• Now Create the authUser.js file as shown below.

  

• Now Create the inedx.js file as shown below.

  

Onto the Requests part create a Requests.rest file as shown below.

You can use the extension Rest Client in VsCode or you can also use Postman, both are great but in this project I am using the entension.

1. First make a request of POST for login on port:4000

2. On successfully making the request you will get the following response with tokens.
   

3. Copy the accessToken and paste it in your GET request's Auhtorization value. PORT:8080

1. Copy the refreshToken and paste it in your Post request for token.PORT:4000

1. When sent a request from GET method you will get the following response. ###NOTE: There is a TimeLimit added and within that time limit you have to make the get request. For your convenience you can extend the time limit through your authuser.js code.

1. When you send the POST request for token it generates the following access token which you can copy and paste in the GET request. This will extend the user access/auth time. Basically you get access again.

1. Now to delete the generated JWT token and logout the user use the DELETE request.
