Go JWT example

Go application that implements JWT based authentication and authorization.

This JWT example using RSA256 algorithm claims, so need private and public key. You can use Cryptotools for generate your own private and public key. Change contents of jwt-private.key and jwt-public.key inside files/cert with your own key.

First, download the library:

go get 

To run this application, build and run the Go binary:

go build
./go-jwt

Now, using any HTTP client (like Postman) make a sign-in request with the appropriate credentials:

POST http://localhost:2345/login

{"email":"admin@mail.com","password":"admin"}

After receive the refresh token, place token to Authorization header at HTTP Client. You can now try hitting the home route from the same client to get the home message:

GET http://localhost:2345/home
