NestJS Authentication: JWTs, Sessions, logins, and more! | NestJS PassportJS Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- In this video we'll discuss the fundamentals of adding authentication to your NestJS API. We'll talk about utilizing passport to use different types of authentication strategies. Specifically we will try the passport-local strategy as a basic login with username and password example. Next, we'll take a look at potentially using sessions to store user information and persist their login state. Finally we will also take a look at a state-less approach with JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). We'll create our own JWTs and I'll show you how you can use that to protect your API routes!

Note: a lot of people are getting the error “request.isAuthenticated is not a function”. Please note that I explicitly mentioned in the video that it will not work until you properly setup sessions. If you run into that error, KEEP watching! The problem will resolve itself once you have the full setup, don’t stop at the point of error. If you watch the rest of the video and still have this problem, double check that you properly configured and registered your strategies and guards exactly as shown in the video.
in main.ts: below fix it for me
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
Any chance this can be added as an annotation to the video at that point? I fell into the same trap! Otherwise - awesome video. Keep up the great work!
Not after it’s published sorry
@@mariusespejo Thanks
And maybe something I am missing is some notes about the logout. Currently I am calling .logout() on the request AND calling session.destroy(). Maybe only the last one would be sufficient as it removes the complete session anyways ;-)
A problem I encountered: if you use argument names other than 'username' and 'password' for local strategy, you must specify them as options in local.strategy in super({ usernameField: 'otherName1', passwordField: 'otherName2' }).
If you don't, it won't even throw any errors, you'll just keep getting a 401 Unauthorized error. This drove me insane. Hope this helps others avoid this mistake.
But great tutorial regardless! Content like this makes the internet amazing.
Thank you so much man. You saved my life!!! It drove me insane for 2 hours. Thanks again
You are my savior, digital Jesus, God in UA-cam. you saved my 8 hours.
Thank you very much, you saved me so much trouble
Oof. Thanks bro, I thought I was going insane, not seeing any logs or anything.
thank you so much bro holy shit
The best tutorial i watched so far. Author tells the info clearly and without any useless data. So, i want to say that i was here when the num of followers had been 7k
This tutorial I wanted today, what a coincidence
Thanks for spending the time explaining each part and drawing the parallels to his we would do it in express.
Really helped me understand how to accomplish session auth. Felt a bit lost when the docs only covered JWT auth and all the tutorials I found were showing me the code to make it work... But not why it worked haha
Can't thank you enough for this Marius, excellent content, pitched and paced perfectly.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it helped clear up so much of my confusion. All the examples of different Passport strategies are written using ES6 modules, but the documentation for Nest is with classes. Your video helped translate the difference and finally got my code to work. Very clear and well explained --signed a junior developer that only learned ES6 Javascript in my bootcamp XD
I highly appreciate you going throug the code roughly and also briefly explaining the NPM packages which you're using / recommending. It's really fun coding along and learning in this video!
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Thank you! Very useful. I appreciate your descriptions and of Sessions and JWTs! All the best.

req.isAuthenticated gives error ""request.isAuthenticated is not a function" at 29.02 section.
Dude, after 4 days struggling you opened my eyes. They should add all of this in their documentation. You are a gold tressure!
@Dev Guy I read the documentation first and in the span of 4 days, probably 100 times :D I actually started the project because I loved the documentation, its just on spot, with a few missing parts :)
Docs are definitely very good but it’s not always intuitive to everyone. Simply saying just read the docs is like telling people don’t go to school just read the text books….
I’m been looking for this. Thank you thank you. Would git repo of this code.
@Dev Guy I looked at and read the documentation from Nest and Passport. The main problem for me with the documentation is Nest is all classes and Passport documentation show you how to configure the different strategies in ES6. This video is literally the only resource I've found (and I searched for over a week) that explains that (a) passport is initiated when it is included in the correct provider array and you do not need passport.use() as explained in the Passport docs and (b) the UseGuard is registering the strategy and there is no need for passport.register(), again, as explained in the Passport docs
Best tutorial on NestJs authentication so far. Thanks a lot!
your nest js contents are soo good. keep it up marius
Thanks a lot Marius! for Authentication session. Very well crafted beautifully explained.
Just 1 suggestion if you could put this session over git. Would be great to look at the code and get relate it post watching video.
Keep up the good work!!!
All The Best!!
Tks once again! You make this easy with yours explanations.. each of details, make a difference.
Even today i remember how i asked the question below the similar type of video about jwt and you reply back really fast althought your video was already great. As i see you still answers the questions and its impresive.
So glad to know that you are following the official NestJs documentation! I also do the same.
Honestly it’s some of the best docs I’ve seen!
That walkthrough at @23:45, priceless!
So there's actually a guard on the route but you can login with the right body data? neat!!
Awesome tutorial thanks, I love that you included regular sessions as well and not ONLY a JWT implementation. Kudos!
Glad you liked it!
I love this tutorial. Clear as Spring water 💯
Such a masterpiece bro♥️ everything is perfect in this video 🏳️🙌

Thank you!
Clean and clear , great tutorial...
thanks Marko!
Excelent!
Great video
Thank you!
There are so many classes you have created. It is good for separation of concern as you said. There should be a slide to explain the flow of uses of those classes. Ex: Class A used by Class b and Class b used by Class C. This will make it very easy to understand to the viewers.
Everything in nestjs is a class, don’t over think it, each one has a given purpose which you can usually easily determine by naming conventions, e.g. guard, controller, strategy, service, etc.
Thank you for all these NestJS tutorials they are really helpful!
Appreciate the feedback 🙂
thank you marius, your are awesome
It`s awesome work! Thx, broo

Thank you Thomas! Glad you think so!
Your effort is highly appreciated, Marius. Very helpful thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
you are a legend
Very good job , Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!
over separation of concerns. thanks for the tutorial anyway. I don't know why Nest is making everything complicated, yet people enjoying it, frankly.
Convention over configuration. You learn how to do this stuff once for a nest app, and can probably jump to any other nest app that will mostly be structured the same.
Try making 5 different devs build the same API using express and they likely will come up with their own patterns and conventions because Express is too flexible/minimal. A large express app can easily become spaghetti. Eventually you realize you need conventions and defined architectures, plus you’d also benefit with adding TS… at which point you might as well just use Nest.
Alternatives outside express/nest? Yeah there’s a couple. Try comparing the features and their overall ecosystem and you’re likely to find that it’s not as great. But of course YMMV
Thank you very much
It would be terrifically useful if you would build the client side login flow that connects with the JWT strategy. This tutorial was really clear and concise.
Thanks, will consider it! For the most part the client-side is really just all about managing/storing that jwt somewhere and making sure it’s included in the headers of each request to your API. I’ll try to make a video about it sometime.
I looking for this same but with graphql, good video my friend, it will help me
Best Nest.js content on YT so far.. Keep up the good work man @Marius
thanks Dev! glad you like the content
Awesome man
🙏
@@mariusespejo Can you make a Role-based access control video in Nest where we protect APIs using scopes.
Thank you sir
Thanks :)
Can you do more of nestjs with graphql like auth and/or microservices. That would be a unique content!
will definitely look into that more, I’m still learning a lot of the best practices with graphql myself
second that
@@mariusespejo Can't wait to learn that combination from a master like you
hey folks, just following up: new video just posted on doing this same auth topic but in graphQL specifically
Nice would be part 2 with refresh token. Tanks for video. ( I m from Erick )
Your background image is the hero image of my portfolio lmao
💪
Thank You :) :)
Thanks
Very height quality content! Thanks Marius.
잘하네요👍
This was soo good! Please post (pun intended) a video where you handle sign up and remove account!!!
With JWT!
Thanks! Will consider a specific video on that topic. Not really much to it though, sign-up is basically almost the same as login, but obviously you’d be adding to a db table of users, and removing is simply deleting that record
Thanks a lot man, that was a super good material for me. Hope u will get the best in this life, good luck!
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much for your effort making this!
you’re welcome!
Marius the Genius....#Legend
Awesome. Your Tutorials about Nest are the best in UA-cam, even better than in Udemy
Thank you! Glad you think so 🙏
Great video Marius!
You made clear a lot of points around authentication that were a bit confusing to me.
Could you possibly make a video about authentication using JWTs with NestJS and GraphQL (code first)?
Thanks again!
Thanks Takis! Definitely looking to dive into more graphql stuff
fyi just published a new video specifically on that topic!
Awesome tutorial like always thank you,
If you can do some new tutorial in vuejs / nestjs it will be awesome
Hi, Marius I got a question, why the method validate that in JwtStrategy return the object coordinates to req.user at 1:02:42?
Thanks 🙏
