1. login-with-jwt-wordpress-plugin

A React App where you can login using the endpoint provided by JWT Authentication for WP-API WordPress Plugin.So you need to have this plugin installed on WordPress. The plugin's endpoint returns the user object and a jwt-token on success,which we can then store in localstorage and login the user on front React Application

Steps

• You need to install and activate JWT Authentication for WP REST API plugin on you WordPress site
• Then you need to configure it by adding these:

i. Add the last three lines in your WordPress .htaccess file as shown:

# BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /wordpress/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
   
   
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
   RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
   SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
   
   </IfModule>

ii. Add the following in your wp-config.php Wordpress file. You can choose your own secret key.

define('JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY', '&BZd]N-ghz|hbH`=%~a5z(`mR=n%7#8-Iz@KoqtDhQ6(8h$og%-IbI#>N*T`s9Dg');
define('JWT_AUTH_CORS_ENABLE', true);

iii. Now you can make a request to /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token REST API provided by the plugin. You need to passusername and password and it returns a user object and token . You can save the token in localstorage and send it in the headersof your protected route requests ( e.g. Create Post /wp-json/wp/v2/posts )

iiv. So whenever you send a request to WordPress REST API for your protected routes, you send the token received in the headers ofyour request

{
	'Accept': 'application/json',
	'Content-Type': 'application/json',
	'Authorization': `Bearer putTokenReceivedHere`
}

This repo also demonstrates how to create posts in React Application by sending request to protected endpoints ( passing the token in the header )

2. jwt-verify-with-node

A React(front end) + Node(back end) application. It uses jwt.sign() ( from jwtwebtoken npm package ) to generate a token using the username and passwordsent from front end( React ) and returns it as a response, which we then store in localstorage to login the user.This token received by frond end, will be sent with all further request for protected routes, which will then be verified in node routeusing jwt.verify()Besides generating the token, the end point in node also accesses the WordPress rest api to confirm the credentials and returns the user objector errors if any.

It also has functionality to create post where we make a request from front end along with token( React ) to a node end point.The node endpoint verifies the token and then makes a request to WordPress REST API endpoint to create the post and then returns thenew post id, or error if any.

Commands

1. Branch master and build-app-for-heroku

• start Runs node server for development ( in watch mode ). The server.js sends all front end route request to index.html and then all front end route requests is handled by reach router

2. Branch jwt-verify-with-node andlogin-with-jwt-wordpress-plugin

• dev Runs webpack dev server for development ( in watch mode )

Common

• prod Runs webpack in production mode
