In this video, Adam demonstrates how to build an Authorisation Module in Nest.js. After building a registration route, users are issued with a JWT token which can be used to authenticate them when they make HTTP requests.
- Created a User module which provides a service for interacting with Users in the database. The service will allow you to find a User by its email address and create a user following business rules.
- Created an Auth service which will create users via the UserService, authenticate the User using their email address and password, and issue a JWT token to allow them to access protected API endpoints.
- Created a Guard that will read the JWT token and either permit or deny access to the protected endpoints.
- Created an Auth Controller with routes for registering and signing in.
- Added end-to-end tests to ensure that User Registration and Authentication flow works as expected
