Using JSON Web Tokens

Introduction

Use Node.js, Express and Knex to build an API with authentication and authorization using JSON Web Tokens.

Your assignment page on Canvas should contain instructions for submitting this project. If you are still unsure, reach out to School Staff.

You will complete the following tasks and do any extra wiring and package installation necessary for the app to compile and pass all tests.

Write the following user access functions inside api/users/users-model.js:

Write the following auth middlewares inside api/auth/auth-middleware.js:

Authentication will be implemented using JSON Web Tokens.

Write the following endpoints inside api/auth/auth-router.js:

The endpoints inside api/users/users-router.js are built already but check them out:

[GET] /api/users - only users with a valid token can access
[GET] /api/users/:user_id - only users with a valid token AND a role of 'admin' can access

Complete the secrets/index.js file.

role_id	unsigned integer	foreign key, required

field	data type	metadata
role_id	unsigned integer	primary key, auto-increments, generated by db

Run tests locally executing npm test.
The project comes with migrate, rollback and seed scripts in case you need to reset the database.
You are welcome to create additional files but do not move or rename existing files or folders.
Do not alter your package.json file except to install extra libraries or add extra scripts. Do not update existing libraries.
In your solution, it is essential that you follow best practices and produce clean and professional results.
Schedule time to review, refine, and assess your work.
Perform basic professional polishing including spell-checking and grammar-checking on your work.
