User Authentication with Apollo Server V3, MongoDB, GraphQL, and JWT

Hey it's Cooper, make sure to subscribe for more full stack development content in the future!

In this video we do an in depth setup of creating an Apollo Server capable of registering / logging in users. This login and register functionality can get tricky at times, but hopefully this video provides a great starting point for creating the backend to your applications. Subscribe for the future video I plan on making where we create a React application that handles the users tokens, allowing "user only" functionality (only allow people to do things if they have a token for example).

Underrated channel !!! A genius explanation...

Hey Cooper Codes! Excellent tutorial, I followed it to the end. I have one question though, you hadn't gone over how a user would log out. I was wondering if you could give a brief summary of the process that needs to happen for the user to log out. I can figure out the user deletion part as that isn't very difficult, but for logging out, how does it work for the JWT token?

One thing I've noticed with pretty much all of these types of tutorials, is the failure to mention how to protect specific resolvers, due to the nuances of using the context argument. An example being, you have a news site, all users can access the index page, but only specific users that are logged in can access individual articles. So you want to protect the individual news article resolver. While these videos are helpful, 'protecting' routes is equally important as demonstrating how to set up user authentication. So please, if you have the time and knowledge, you'd be doing a great service to update this video to include that. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your amazing video! Just a question, at some point you add an auth middleware, how can we use it in this project?

[itmax]

why you store jwt token in DB with user? the main idea of jwt is that you can easily check if token provided by user is legit and you don't need to store it and update in DB

Great series, I hope there's more to come. I'd love to know how to do something like a simple blog. I have users, I have posts.. I have users able to log in (from following this video) but I don't know how to assign a user to an article. How do you keep the user logged in and say "ok, you are user MARIO and you have permission to write posts. When you submit this post you will be the author". I can't find how to make this work. Any help would be great :)

the frontend part with verification would be super helpful

[editingtuto.]

Where to pass that verifytoken middleware to verify token
