Login With JWT

This guide demonstrates how to implement JWT-based authentication using the AuthMateClient library. JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are a secure, compact, and self-contained way to represent user identity between client and server.

Overview

The loginWithJWT method provided by AuthMate enables users to log in by submitting their email and password. Upon successful authentication, a JWT is returned that you can use to authorize subsequent API requests.

Prerequisites

Before using loginWithJWT, ensure you have:

• A valid AuthMate API key
• A registered user with email and password
• Installed the authmate package

import { AuthMateClient } from 'authmate';

// Replace with your actual AuthMate API key
const apiKey = 'Your-API-Key';

// User credentials
const payload = {
  email: 'test@example.com',
  password: 'Test@123'
};

// Login with JWT
const loginRes = await AuthMateClient.loginWithJWT(apiKey, payload);

// The response will contain the JWT token and user information
console.log('JWT Login Response:', loginRes);

Example Response

On a successful login, you'll receive a response similar to:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...",
  "user": {
    "id": "user_12345",
    "email": "test@example.com",
    "name": "Test User"
  }
}

You can store the token in localStorage, sessionStorage, or use React state/context to manage the user session.
