This repository contains a Rust-based web service that utilizes JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. The service is built using the Axum framework for creating web applications with Rust. It demonstrates a simple login system where users can log in to receive a JWT token and then use this token to access protected routes.
- User Authentication: Implements a basic user authentication flow where users can log in using their credentials to receive a JWT token.
- Protected Routes: Includes examples of protected routes that require a valid JWT token to access.
- JWT Token Management: Utilizes the
jsonwebtokencrate for encoding and decoding JWT tokens, ensuring secure token management.
The project relies on several key Rust crates:
tokio: An asynchronous runtime for Rust, used as the foundation for running the web server and handling asynchronous operations.jsonwebtoken: A crate for encoding and decoding JWT tokens, providing the core functionality for token management.axum: A web application framework built on top of Hyper, providing routing and request handling.serdeandserde_json: Serialization and deserialization libraries for converting Rust structs to JSON and vice versa.chrono: A date and time library for Rust, used for handling time-based operations in JWT tokens.
src/main.rs: The entry point of the application, setting up the web server and routes.src/controler.rs: Contains the route handlers, including the login handler and a handler for retrieving protected information.src/model.rs: Defines the data models used in the application, including structures for login information and responses.
To run the project, ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed. Then, navigate to the project directory and run:
cargo runThis will start the web server on http://localhost:3000. You can then use tools like curl or Postman or Hoppscotch to interact with the service.
POST /login: Logs in a user and returns a JWT token.GET /get_info: Returns protected information that requires a valid JWT token.
