Boilerplate sailsjs RESTful API with passportjs + JWT authentication and MySQL Database

sails-passport

Boilerplate to generate quick pure RESTful API with sailsjs + MySQL + passport and jwt token authentication

Available Routes:

• POST /register (with new email & password key value)
• POST /auth/login (with existed email & password key value) -> return token
• GET /auth/validate_token (with key:Authorization & value: 'Bearer <your valid token>' in header)
• GET /quote/open (to access random Chuck Norris quote)
• GET /quote/protected (with valid token in header to access protected random Chuck Norris quote)

Key Features:

Version 0.0.1

• Sailsjs web framework with all their features
• Authentification with passportjs (local) and JSON Web Token
• MySQL database connection
• Enable CORS for access from different application
• Password encrypted (with bcrypt)
• Email checking
• Random Chuck Norris Quote!

HOW TO:

• Clone this repo and cd to your destined folder
• Make sure your MySQL server is running
• Change the value of mysqlServer in /config/connections to reflect your own MySQL setup conf (make sure to use new dedicated database since it will alter the database, unless you change the config in connections.js )
• run npm install
• run sails lift

Error Info:

• if you have npm install with bcrypt error such as node-gyp build error, it is okay, since I already subtitute bcrypt with bcrypt-nodejs in the app implementation for a better compability with various OS. However, if you are a perfectionist, just delete bcrypt from package.json dependency and you all set.

DISCLAIMER!

This is as minimal as it can be. Use it as your boilerplate to startup your REST API server, and as your playground to understand sailsjs concept + setup Passport authentification in server. For Accessing the functionality, you can use postman or better yet, download my other repo angular-passport. MIT License
