Soft Jobs has initiated the development of a platform that seeks to support the junior developer community. For this purpose, it seeks to create a server for authentication and authorization of users using JWT.

The server provides the following routes:

• POST: api/usuarios : Allows registration of new users
• POST: api/login : Receives a user's credentials and returns a token generated with JWT. The email address of the registered user is included in the token payload.
• GET: api/usuarios : Returns a user's data in case that it is authenticated

Connects node.js to the PostgreSQL server. To specify which database to connect to, create an .env file with the following structure, also available in the .env.example file.

To create the database follow the instruction of the query.sql file.

.env

PGUSER=postgres 
PGHOST=localhost
PGPASSWORD=
PGDATABASE=softjobs
PGPORT=5432
JWTPASSWORD=

The client application that consumes the routes is located in the client folder and its a React application. To use it, inside the client directory, run in the terminal npm run dev after the backend is up:

• POST: Register new user, fill in the fields email address, password, role and language and then click on the button "Register".
• POST: To log in, in the tab of the same name, fill in the email and password fields and then click on the "Login" button.
• GET: After logging in, you will be automatically redirected to the "My Profile" tab, and you will be able to see the user's data.
