Simple, Practical, and Straightforward Course to Build Node.js Authentication APIs with JWT

If you're looking for a course that will teach you everything you need to know about JSON Web Token (JWT), then this is the one for you. In this course, we'll answer all of the questions you might have about JWT, including what it is and how it works. We'll also see how we can use it to build token-based authentication REST APIs using Node.js. This is a great option if you're looking for an alternative to cookie-based authentication.

This is a practical course that covers all the steps needed to create authentication API endpoints and handle HTTP requests. We'll start by defining what an authentication API is and why you might need one. Then we'll dive into creating our own Authentication API, exposing API endpoints over HTTP, and handling HTTP requests. Finally, we'll cover testing our API endpoints using an HTTP client like Postman. By the end of this course, you'll have all the skills necessary to build your own secure authentication REST API with Node.js and JWT.

This course will give you the skills you need to advance your NodeJS platform skills. This course is very practical and applicable. It focuses on teaching you skills you can use. In this course, you will build your skills with web APIauthentication, hashing, encryption, JWT, Docker, and Google Cloud platform deployment.

Even though we will use Node.js but the concepts learned here can be used with any other framework!

By the end of this course you will learn:

• What is the JWT structure?

• Use Node.js core module (crypto) to generate JWT

• Build Node.js Authentication Restful APIs that uses JWT

• Work with Express, Bcrypt, and NeDB

• Setup a new MongoDB cluster and connect the Auth API to it

• Learn how to wire the application modules using Dependency Injection(DI)

• Use Docker to dockerize the authentication service

• Deploy authentication service to Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
