Authentication and Authorization

Description

Your task is to implement Authentication and Authorization with JWT (Access and Refresh tokens)

  • User can signup new account with personal login & password
    – User can login with personal login & password, server returns response with Access token and Refresh token (Refresh token is in advanced scope).
  • Refresh token helps to get new pair Access/Refresh tokens (optional) – User now should use valid Access token to access resources – When the Access token is expired, user can't use it anymore
  • Refresh token helps to get new pair Access/Refresh tokens (optional)

Technical requirements

  • Task should be implemented on Typescript
  • Use 18 LTS version of Node.js

Implementation details

  1. Endpoints
  • Signup (auth/signup route)
    • POST auth/signup - send login and password to create a new user
      • Server should answer with status code 201 and corresponding message if dto is valid
      • Server should answer with status code 400 and corresponding message if dto is invalid (no login or password, or they are not a strings)
  • Login (auth/login route)
    • POST auth/login - send login and password to get Access token and Refresh token (optionally)
      • Server should answer with status code 200 and tokens if dto is valid
      • Server should answer with status code 400 and corresponding message if dto is invalid (no login or password, or they are not a strings)
      • Server should answer with status code 403 and corresponding message if authentication failed (no user with such login, password doesn't match actual one, etc.)
  • Refresh (auth/refresh route)
    • POST auth/refresh - send refresh token in body as { refreshToken } to get new pair of Access token and Refresh token
      • Server should answer with status code 200 and tokens in body if dto is valid
      • Server should answer with status code 401 and corresponding message if dto is invalid (no refreshToken in body)
      • Server should answer with status code 403 and corresponding message if authentication failed (Refresh token is invalid or expired)

  1. Once POST /auth/signup accepts password property, it is replaced with hash (for example, you can use bcrypt package or its equivalent like bcryptjs) for password encryption, no raw passwords should be in database (NB! Password should remain hashed after any operation with service).

  2. JWT Access token should contain userId and login in a payload and has expiration time (expiration time of Refresh token should be longer, than Access token).

  3. The JWT Access token should be added in HTTP Authorization header to all requests that requires authentication. Proxy all the requests (except auth/signup, auth/login, /doc, /) and check that HTTP Authorization header has the correct value of JWT Access token.
    HTTP authentication must follow Bearer scheme:

Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>

  1. In case of the HTTP Authorization header in the request is absent or invalid or doesn’t follow Bearer scheme or Access token has expired, further router method execution should be stopped and lead to response with HTTP 401 code and the corresponding error message.

  2. Secrets used for signing the tokens should be stored in .env file.

bcrypt installation issues:

If you see an error that starts with:

gyp ERR! stack Error: "pre" versions of node cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead

Please check compatibility between Node.JS and Bcrypt versions.

If you face an error like this:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/releases/download/v1.0.2/bcrypt_lib-v1.0.2-node-v48-linux-x64.tar.gz

Make sure you have the appropriate dependencies installed and configured for your platform. You can find installation instructions for the dependencies for some common platforms in this page.
