Usage

Signup/Login

Once deployed or started locally, we can create an user using /signup API like below:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d'{"username": "test123", "password": "test123", "confirmPassword": "test123"}' \
     http://localhost:8080/signup

On success, we get the response:

{
  "id": 1,
  "username": "test123",
  "token": "4ffd5ee92853787836325dcea74c02e4"
}

We can also use /login API to fetch the user token,

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d'{"username": "test123", "password": "test123"}' \
     http://localhost:8080/login

Webhook for GraphQL Engine

Auth webhook that can be configured with Hasura GraphQl Engine is available at /webhook. It accepts Authorization header to validate the token against an user.

The client just need to add Authorization: Bearer <token> to the request sending to GraphQL Engine.

The endpoint (say http://localhost:8080/webhook) can be given as an environment variable HASURA_GRAPHQL_AUTH_HOOK to GraphQL Engine.
