Introduction

A MEAN app that demonstrates Socket.io JWT authentication . I couldn't find an example of how to configure jwt based auth for socket.io , so i experimented and made this app.

Hope it's helpful!

DISCLAIMER : This is a very basic app that was made for the sole purpose of demonstrating how jwt-auth can be implemented with socket.io

Steps :

1. Install node modules

   npm install

2. change the secret in the config.js ( or not .. up to you !)

3. Start server

   node server.js

4. go to localhost:3000/users/create on web page

5. go to localhost:3000/ and login with one of these users :

   username: [email protected] password: secret

   username : [email protected] password : secret

6. Chat ON!
