AuthService is a simple authentication built on the Express. It is meant to be a modular authentication solution that is run in conjunction with other services.
Current features include:
- Register credentials
- Validate a user's email
- Authenticate with registered credentials
- Get the logged-in user
- Get a user by ID
- Reset a user's password
This project is a solo experiment, and the first of a series I plan to build in order to learn Node/Express, API security, and the microservices architecture.
It is currently in the early stages of development. I am still learning API security best practices. It goes without saying that this service is not currently fit to be run in a production environment.
To get this project up and running, start by cloning the repository:
git clone [email protected]:merenze/AuthService.gitAdd some necessary variables to .env:
# Used to sign JWTs
JWT_KEY=my_secret_key
# Database settings
DB_DIALECT=mysql
DB_HOST=my_database_host
DB_DATABASE=my_database_name
DB_USER=my_database_username
DB_PASSWORD=my_database_password
Run the Sequelize database migrations:
cd AuthService
npx sequelize-cli db:migrateBuild and start the service:
docker build -t auth .
docker run --env-file ./.env -dp 3000:3000 auth
