Description
Added the middleware folder and the file auth.middleware.js containing the middleware used for auth in protected routes. checked the middleware by creating a test route.
Related Issue
This pull request is based on the issue #12.
Motivation and Context
The files changed:
server/middlewares/auth.middleware.js
contains the main logic of the middleware which extracts the Bearer token from the auth headers and verifys it using the JWT library. deals with erros as needed.
server/routes/auth.routes.js
Created a protected test route which if successfuly authenticates then sends the users information back as a JSON object.
generating a new token
request that was made using the token in the auth header
If token expires
