Gm ladies & gentlemen I will be doing a 30days learning challenge for nestjs i want to follow a youtube course with over a 100 videos i want to solidify my nextjs knowledge.

Wish me well guys 🥰

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

Decided to create a simple TODO mobile application using Rork AI. Although i wanted to use react native but the feature is no longer supported it built this app for me using Swift

Day 30/30 days of Nestjs Learning Challenge (June 16) (: Today's tutorial lectures:
1. Generating JWT
2. Understanding Guards
3. Extract Token From Request

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

In extracting the token from the header we use the CanActivate abstract class. from the canActivate method we use d executionContext to get the req. header and if the bearer token exist on the header we can extract it and return it, but if its not present it will return undefined

Day 29/30 days of Nestjs Learning Challenge
Today's tutorial lectures:
1. Compare Passwords
2. Understanding JWT
3. Creating JWT config file

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

A guard in Nestjs is a class annotated with the @Injectable() decorator that implements the canActivate interface. Its primary purpose is to determine whether a given request should be handled by the route handler.

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

I've been able to create a json token using the jwtService from the installed jwt package, it just requires a payload and some optional config options. This was done and also i used the jwt website to decode my payloads it was fun.

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

The JWT config file was created using partial injection specific to the user config hence the config used in the forFeature import was used to assign the providers for the jwtmodule. see images below
P.S: The jwt package was installed using npm i @nestjs/jwt

Day 28/30 days of Nestjs Learning Challenge (June 16) (: Today's tutorial lectures:
1. Creating a hashing Provider
2. Storing Hashed Password in Database
3. Creating a User Login API

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

A JSON Web Token ( JWT in short) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. In the video i learnt how a jwt is created, stored and verified

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

I've already compared the password in my previous post using the Using becrypt password compare method

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

To create a login user api we use the controller to created the method that will handle the request and the response then use the auth service to handle the business logic for logging the user in. see image for more info: 👇👇

Day 27/30 days of Nestjs Learning Challenge (June 15) (: Today's tutorial lectures:
1. Introduction to authentication
2. Creating User Signup Api
3. Password Hashing

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

To store HashPassword to database we need to do some importing and use the hashPassword class on the createuser method and hash the password before storing it on the database as seen in the images below:

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

We created a hashing provider which had a hashprovider abstract class that was implemented by the bcrypt class which will be used to hash our password using some salt rounds. Once we do this then there will be some issues on the authmodule which can be resolved as shown👇

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

Password salting: Salt is a unique randomly generated string added to each password before it is hashed. to make the password stronger.

Day 26/30 days of Nestjs Learning Challenge:
Today's tutorial lectures:
1. Creating the response Object
2. Creating the page links
3. Add pagination for Users

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

Hashing of a password is the process of transforming a user's password into a seemingly random string of characters of fixed length using a mathematical algorithm called a hash function. This resulting string is known as a hash or a message digest.

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

Creating user signup was more like what was done when we created user so it was easy for me to implement

[LONGJOHN EDWIN EDWARD @EdwinLongjohn]

Authentication is a process of verifying the identity of a user, device or application. It answers the question who you are.

Usually in websites we use username and password which the web uses to check through the database to confirm, if the user is who he says he is.
