This example is starter template for all my Ruby on Rails applications.
This example use for authentication :
-
Start the server :
`rails s ` -
Open another terminal and use cURL to test the API. First, try to authenticate without any email or password:
`curl http://localhost:3000/home `The response should be
{"errors":["Not Authenticated"]}since we have not provided any credentials. -
Now authenticate against the API and receive a JWT which we will use for subsequent requests:
`curl -X POST -d email="a@a.com" -d password="changeme" http://localhost:3000/auth_user ` -
You’ll receive a successful response along with a JSON Web Token and additional user information. Like so:
`{"auth_token":"your_token","user":{"id":1,"email":"a@a.com"}} ` -
Use our fresh auth_token in the request to /home. Like so:
`curl --header "Authorization: Bearer your_token" http://localhost:3000/home ` -
We should receive a successful login response, like:
`{"logged_in":true} `
