cli-login

I wanted to understand the flow of authenticating users login from the CLI so I wrote a simple shell script using bash. It turned out really great.

How it works

This script basically recieves the user's email address and password, validates the email address, makes the request using curl and writes the response of the request to a file response.txt in the same folder (Default behaviour). You can read into the file to extract the authentication token for subsequent request.

Run Package

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/Vickysomtee/cli-authentication.git

Go to the project directory

  cd cli-login

Customize the script

Replace the <resource-endpoint> with your login endpoint

  url='<resource-endpoint>'

Replace the ./response.txt with a symlink to your desired folder. You can leave the default file for the purpose of testing the script.

  echo $response > ./response.txt

Run Script

  bash login.sh
