This article will teach you how to implement JSON Web Token (JWT) Authentication with Node.js, PostgreSQL, TypeORM, ExpressJs, Redis, Docker, and Docker-compose. We will implement the assymetric (RS256 algorithm) JSON Web Token authentication manually without using any Node.js authentication library like PassportJs.

• List the Node.js API Routes
• User Login and Register Flow with JWT Authentication
• Defining Base and User Entities with TypeORM
• Defining Zod Schemas to Validate Request Body
• Create Middleware to Parse Zod Schema
• Password Management with Bcrypt
• Create Services to Interact with the Database
• Asymmetric Encryption (RS256 algorithm) Json Web Tokens
• Service to Sign Access and Refresh Tokens
• Error Handling in Express
• Create Authentication Route Controllers
• Create User Route Controller
• Create Authentication Middleware Guard
• Create the API Routes
  • Authentication Routes
  • User Routes
• Add the Routes to the Express Middleware Stack
• Run Database Migrations with TypeORM
• Inspect the Data with VS Code MySQL Extension
