how to use jwt token in post header for node api code example
Example 1: jwt implementation in node js
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken")
const jwtKey = "my_secret_key"
const jwtExpirySeconds = 300
const users = {
user1: "password1",
user2: "password2",
}
const signIn = (req, res) => {
// Get credentials from JSON body
const { username, password } = req.body
if (!username || !password || users[username] !== password) {
// return 401 error is username or password doesn't exist, or if password does
// not match the password in our records
return res.status(401).end()
}
// Create a new token with the username in the payload
// and which expires 300 seconds after issue
const token = jwt.sign({ username }, jwtKey, {
algorithm: "HS256",
expiresIn: jwtExpirySeconds,
})
console.log("token:", token)
// set the cookie as the token string, with a similar max age as the token
// here, the max age is in milliseconds, so we multiply by 1000
res.cookie("token", token, { maxAge: jwtExpirySeconds * 1000 })
res.end()
}
Example 2: how to set time with jwt token in node js
var token = jwt.sign({email_id:'[email protected]'}, "Stack", {
expiresIn: "10h" // it will be expired after 10 hours
//expiresIn: "20d" // it will be expired after 20 days
//expiresIn: 120 // it will be expired after 120ms
});
