In this article, we'll focus on implementing JWT authentication using the Bearer Token approach in Rust, and we will use the HS256 algorithm to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the tokens.
- Test the JWT Authentication on Your Machine
- Set Up the Rust Project
- Launch a PostgreSQL Server with Docker
- Perform Database Migrations
- Load the Environment Variables
- Create the SQLx Database Model
- Create the HTTP Response Schemas
- Create the Axum HTTP Route Handlers
- Register User Route Handler
- Log In User Route Handler
- Log Out User Route Handler
- Retrieve Authenticated User Handler
- Create the JWT Authentication Middleware
- Create the Authentication Routes
- Register the Axum Router and Set Up CORS
- Conclusion
