Question: How would you go about login in a SPA? about passport-jwt HOT 4 CLOSED

Trying to do the same thing here, I'm thinking about doing it and use an /authenticate route that takes a POST with (username, password) and then returns the token, to be used in next requests

from passport-jwt.

I ended up doing something (smiliar) like this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33357799/how-to-do-authentication-for-an-api-build-with-express

from passport-jwt.

makes sense

from passport-jwt.

Another good tutorial I came across was this: https://scotch.io/tutorials/authenticate-a-node-js-api-with-json-web-tokens#authenticating-and-creating-a-token

It doesn't use passport-jwt but it should be fairly easy to see what bits of the tutorial can be replaced with it.

I'm going to go ahead and close this but feel free to re-open if you still have questions.
