A RESTful API created using Node.js, Express, MongoDB along with bcryptjs and jsonwebtoken to implement security features for hashing and authenticaion.
Download the zip file or clone using git clone https://github.com/gpavankv/users-api.git.
Just run npm install in your command prompt or terminal
$user npm install
or
folder\AnotherFolder> npm install
Use commands npm run start or nodemon to run the app. For now there are only three routes.
- Basic test route make a get request to
http://localhost:3050/api/test, the server will return a message.
{
"message": "Test Successful!"
}
- A POST request to
http://localhost:3050/api/createuserwith
{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Doe",
"email":"[email protected]",
"password": "johndoe123"
}
as body of the request, the server will return a message
{
"message": "User created"
}
and the mongodb users collection should have some thing like this
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5a53096475c0fa5c78858427"),
"firstName" : "John",
"lastName" : "Doe",
"email" : "[email protected]",
"password" : "$2a$16$fRSD9aXXSzhc9dQl5JUIB.RG8aV1bIk6sG8HLwYTCdjHS.scBq16i",
"__v" : 0
}
- A POST request to
http://localhost:3050/api/verifyuserwith
{
"email":"[email protected]",
"password": "johndoe123"
}
as body of the request, the server will return a message
{
"message": "John Doe",
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyIjp7Il9pZCI6IjVhNTNkMWVkNmNkM2ZmMjBmMDM5MjM0MSIsImZpcnN0TmFtZSI6IkpvaG4iLCJsYXN0TmFtZSI6IkRvZSIsImVtYWlsIjoiam9obkBkb2UuY29tIiwicGFzc3dvcmQiOiIkMmEkMTYkOG85LlY1aC9iQmRoUS9IclhFNXhLdVAwcjk4MzJyRlBpU01oY2VWUE9EZFRzTmVGenE5LlciLCJfX3YiOjB9LCJpYXQiOjE1MTU0NDI3MDV9.G3odkBj9sCxftx2QFKLym3m_pTSQ7ejVcp6uE__Zx7c"
}
and from here on you can persist this token and use it for subsequent requests.
