Trying to practice JWT with NodeJS but when I try to run a GET request using the headers of the Authorization: Bearer , it returns an array instead of the object with the token, I tried with the Postman app but to no avail
This is the code, the get and post request code:
const express = require('express');
require('dotenv').config();
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const app = express();
const user = [
{
username: 'John',
email: '[email protected]'
},
{
username: "Joshua",
email: '[email protected]'
}
]
app.use(express.json())
app.get('/api', authenicateToken, (req, res,) => {
res.json(user.filter(post => post.username === req.body.name))
})
app.post('/login', (req, res) => {
const username = req.body.username
const use = { name: username }
const accessToken = jwt.sign(use, process.env.ACCESS_KEY)
res.json({ accessToken: accessToken })
})
function authenicateToken (req, res, next) {
const authHeader = req.headers['authorization']
const token = authHeader && authHeader.split(' ')[1]
if(token === null) return res.sendStatus(403)
jwt.verify(token, process.env.ACCESS_KEY, (err, user) => {
if(err) return res.sendStatus(403)
req.user = user
next()
})
}
app.listen(4000, () => {
console.log('Can you hear me?');
})
CodePudding user response:
filter
returns an array, use find
method it returns single item.
res.json(user.find(post => post.username === req.body.name))
