In this video, we will learn how we can protect our routes from unauthenticated users in our NestJS API. In my previous videos, I created a complete CRUD Library API.
In this video, we will continue with that project and create our JWT Strategy, protect the routes,, and also we will save the current user in the book that is created by user in simple few steps.

How about update and delete by check the user is owned the book

You can add if check and make sure the user is same. if(req.user._id != book.user) then throw the error.

how to implement logout functionality

[@codingwithabbas]

This will be implemented on the frontend. We just need to clear the token.

[@spizer98]

@@codingwithabbas what if anyone copy the token use it to login so there might be a security problem

[@codingwithabbas]

We store our token at safe place, like httpOnly cookies, that cannot be accessed from frontend,

[@zekariyasmulugetaaltaye1065]

@@codingwithabbas Can we send an httpOnly Cookie instead of returning the jwt when the user logs in or signs up. and if we can are there things we should change in the passport strategy? and want to say thank you for the great tutorial
