How to add login authentication and session to ReactJS React Router and Redux with MongoDB + NodeJS Express?
i recommend you to use this library of JWT, it works perfectly, with expressJshttps://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonwebtoken,after your user sign in, you give theme a JWT token like this:
const token = jwt.sign( { userId: user.userId, username: user.username }, yourFileWItchContainTheJwtString.jwtSecret, { expiresIn: "1h" }//keep connected for 1 hour);if you want to verify the JWT of the user to keep them connected or to give them some authorization you can verify by using :
jwtPayload = <any>jwt.verify(token, yourFileWItchContainTheJwtString.jwtSecret);//save it in locals res.locals.jwtPayload = jwtPayload;//Get the jwt token from the head of request (do some action with the token)
const token = <string>req.headers["auth"];you can check the documentation https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonwebtoken
