Usage example?

[mikecann]

Hi,

I have been looking at JWT in my app. I like the look of passport and your library but I think I may be missing some concepts such as how to generate the JWT and how exactly the jwt_payload is populated.

I think what would be super helpful for me and perhaps others would be an end-to-end example from username / password login to getting the token then using that to get some protected api data.

Do you think this would be possible?

Cheers
Mike

+1 Do you recommend using another library to generate the token such as node-jsonwebtoken. Would you use passport-local to do the initial authentication with the user email and password?

An example of how to use this library would be much appreciated. I too would like to use a simple passport-local signup/login system and add a jwt api to my site, but I am confused as to how to wire everything together.

This tutorial is a good place to start.

I don't know the author but glancing through the code example it seems to cover all of the basics.
