Join For FreeIn this article, we will discuss JWT Authentication in Angular 14 step-by-step.
If you want to learn the basics and details of the JWT Token, then check out this article.
Also, I recommend you read this article, where I explain how to set up a backend server application using.NET Core 6 before starting.
Introduction
- JSON Web Token is the open standard (RFC 7519) self-contained way that will be used to transmit the data securely over the different environments as a JSON Object.
- RFC (Request for Comment) is the shortened form of Remote Function Call and Formal Document from the Internet Engineering Task Force. RFC 7519: JSON Web Token (JWT) May 2015 Copyright Notice Copyright: 2015 IETF Trust and the persons identified as the document authors All rights reserved.
- JWT is the trusted way of authentication because it is digitally signed and secret using the HMAC algorithm, or sometimes using a public/private key using RSA.
- Basically, HMAC stands for Hashed-based Message Authentication Code, it uses some great cryptographic hashing techniques that provide us with great security.
- Also, the JWT is part of great Authentication and Authorization Frameworks like OAuth and OpenID, which will provide a great mechanism to transfer data securely.
Create Angular Application
Step 1:
Create an Angular Application using the following command:
ng new WebAPP
Step 2:
We use Bootstrap in this application. So, use the following command to install Bootstrap:
npm install bootstrap
Next, add the bootstrap script inside the angular.json file inside the scripts and styles section
JSON
"styles": [
"src/styles.css",
"./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],
"scripts": [
"./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
]Step 3:
Install the Toaster module for pop-ups and notifications.
npm install ngx-toastr –save
Then, add the toaster in the styles section inside the angular.json file
JSON
"styles": [
"src/styles.css",
"node_modules/ngx-toastr/toastr.css",
"./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],
"scripts": [
"./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
]Step 4:
Application structure:
Step 5:
Create a config folder inside assets, create a config.json file inside that as shown below, and put the backend application API URL inside that.
JSON
{
"apiServer": {
"url": "https://localhost:7299",
"version": "v1"
}
}Step 6:
Create Auth Guard inside the guard’s folder.
TypeScript
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate, Router } from '@angular/router';
import { JwtHelperService } from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
constructor(private jwtHelper: JwtHelperService, private router: Router) {
}
canActivate() {
//get the jwt token which are present in the local storage
const token = localStorage.getItem("jwt");
//Check if the token is expired or not and if token is expired then redirect to login page and return false
if (token && !this.jwtHelper.isTokenExpired(token)){
return true;
}
this.router.navigate(["login"]);
return false;
}
}So, here you can see we take the JWT token from the local storage and later on check if the token is expired or not. If the token is expired, then it will redirect to login and return false.
Step 7:
Open the App Component files and add the following code inside them:
app.component.ts
TypeScript
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'ProductWebAPP';
}app.component.html
HTML
<router-outlet></router-outlet>Step 8:
Create a Model folder inside the app directory and create a Product class inside that:
TypeScript
export class Products {
productId: any;
productName?: string;
productCost?: number;
productDescription?: string;
productStock?: number;
}Step 9:
Create a Homepage component.
homepage.component.ts
TypeScript
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { JwtHelperService } from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
@Component({
selector: 'app-homepage',
templateUrl: './homepage.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./homepage.component.css']
})
export class HomepageComponent {
constructor(private jwtHelper: JwtHelperService, private router: Router) {
}
isUserAuthenticated() {
const token = localStorage.getItem("jwt");
if (token && !this.jwtHelper.isTokenExpired(token)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
public logOut = () => {
localStorage.removeItem("jwt");
}
}homepage.component.html
HTML
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar navbar-dark bg-dark">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Product Application</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarText" aria-controls="navbarText" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarText">
<ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
<li *ngIf="isUserAuthenticated()" class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" routerLink="/product">Products</a>
</li>
<li *ngIf="isUserAuthenticated()" class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" (click)="logOut()">Logout</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<div *ngIf="!isUserAuthenticated()">
<login></login>
</div>
<div *ngIf="isUserAuthenticated()" style="color:green;">
<h2>
Welcome to the Product Application
</h2>
</div>Step 10:
Create a Login Component.
login.component.ts
TypeScript
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from "@angular/router";
import { NgForm } from '@angular/forms';
import configurl from '../../assets/config/config.json';
import { JwtHelperService } from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
import { ToastrService } from 'ngx-toastr';
@Component({
selector: 'login',
templateUrl: './login.component.html'
})
export class LoginComponent {
invalidLogin?: boolean;
url = configurl.apiServer.url + '/api/authentication/';
constructor(private router: Router, private http: HttpClient,private jwtHelper : JwtHelperService,
private toastr: ToastrService) { }
public login = (form: NgForm) => {
const credentials = JSON.stringify(form.value);
this.http.post(this.url +"login", credentials, {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
"Content-Type": "application/json"
})
}).subscribe(response => {
const token = (<any>response).token;
localStorage.setItem("jwt", token);
this.invalidLogin = false;
this.toastr.success("Logged In successfully");
this.router.navigate(["/product"]);
}, err => {
this.invalidLogin = true;
});
}
isUserAuthenticated() {
const token = localStorage.getItem("jwt");
if (token && !this.jwtHelper.isTokenExpired(token)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
}login.component.html
HTML
<form class="form-signin" #loginForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="login(loginForm)">
<div class="container-fluid">
<h2 class="form-signin-heading">Login</h2>
<div *ngIf="invalidLogin" class="alert alert-danger">Invalid username or password.</div>
<br/>
<label for="username" class="sr-only">Email address</label>
<input type="email" id="username" name="username" ngModel class="form-control" placeholder="User Name" required autofocus>
<br/>
<label for="password" class="sr-only">Password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" ngModel class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required>
<br/>
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Login</button>
</div>
</form>Step 11:
Create Products Component.
products.component.ts
TypeScript
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { ProductsService } from '../products/products.service';
import { Products } from '../Models/Products';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { JwtHelperService } from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
import { ToastrService } from 'ngx-toastr';
@Component({
selector: 'app-product',
templateUrl: './products.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./products.component.css']
})
export class ProductsComponent implements OnInit {
ProductList?: Observable<Products[]>;
ProductList1?: Observable<Products[]>;
productForm: any;
massage = "";
prodCategory = "";
productId = 0;
constructor(private formbulider: FormBuilder,
private productService: ProductsService,private router: Router,
private jwtHelper : JwtHelperService,private toastr: ToastrService) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.prodCategory = "0";
this.productForm = this.formbulider.group({
productName: ['', [Validators.required]],
productCost: ['', [Validators.required]],
productDescription: ['', [Validators.required]],
productStock: ['', [Validators.required]]
});
this.getProductList();
}
getProductList() {
this.ProductList1 = this.productService.getProductList();
this.ProductList = this.ProductList1;
}
PostProduct(product: Products) {
const product_Master = this.productForm.value;
this.productService.postProductData(product_Master).subscribe(
() => {
this.getProductList();
this.productForm.reset();
this.toastr.success('Data Saved Successfully');
}
);
}
ProductDetailsToEdit(id: string) {
this.productService.getProductDetailsById(id).subscribe(productResult => {
this.productId = productResult.productId;
this.productForm.controls['productName'].setValue(productResult.productName);
this.productForm.controls['productCost'].setValue(productResult.productCost);
this.productForm.controls['productDescription'].setValue(productResult.productDescription);
this.productForm.controls['productStock'].setValue(productResult.productStock);
});
}
UpdateProduct(product: Products) {
product.productId = this.productId;
const product_Master = this.productForm.value;
this.productService.updateProduct(product_Master).subscribe(() => {
this.toastr.success('Data Updated Successfully');
this.productForm.reset();
this.getProductList();
});
}
DeleteProduct(id: number) {
if (confirm('Do you want to delete this product?')) {
this.productService.deleteProductById(id).subscribe(() => {
this.toastr.success('Data Deleted Successfully');
this.getProductList();
});
}
}
Clear(product: Products){
this.productForm.reset();
}
public logOut = () => {
localStorage.removeItem("jwt");
this.router.navigate(["/"]);
}
isUserAuthenticated() {
const token = localStorage.getItem("jwt");
if (token && !this.jwtHelper.isTokenExpired(token)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
}products.component.html
HTML

</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>Step 12:
Next, create a Product Service to send all our requests and fetch the data from the backend application:
TypeScript
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { Products } from '../Models/Products';
import configurl from '../../assets/config/config.json'
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ProductsService {
url = configurl.apiServer.url + '/api/product/';
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
getProductList(): Observable<Products[]> {
return this.http.get<Products[]>(this.url + 'ProductsList');
}
postProductData(productData: Products): Observable<Products> {
const httpHeaders = { headers:new HttpHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}) };
return this.http.post<Products>(this.url + 'CreateProduct', productData, httpHeaders);
}
updateProduct(product: Products): Observable<Products> {
const httpHeaders = { headers:new HttpHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}) };
return this.http.post<Products>(this.url + 'UpdateProduct?id=' + product.productId, product, httpHeaders);
}
deleteProductById(id: number): Observable<number> {
return this.http.post<number>(this.url + 'DeleteProduct?id=' + id, null);
}
getProductDetailsById(id: string): Observable<Products> {
return this.http.get<Products>(this.url + 'ProductDetail?id=' + id);
}
}
TypeScript
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ProductsComponent } from './products/products.component';
import {HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { JwtModule } from "@auth0/angular-jwt";
import { AuthGuard } from './guards/auth-guard.service';
import { HomepageComponent } from './homepage/homepage.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';
import { ToastrModule } from 'ngx-toastr';
//all components routes
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', component: HomepageComponent },
{ path: 'product', component: ProductsComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] },
{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
];
//function is use to get jwt token from local storage
export function tokenGetter() {
return localStorage.getItem("jwt");
}
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
ProductsComponent,
HomepageComponent,
LoginComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
HttpClientModule,
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
RouterModule.forRoot(routes),
JwtModule.forRoot({
config: {
tokenGetter: tokenGetter,
allowedDomains: ["localhost:7299"],
disallowedRoutes: []
}
}),
ToastrModule.forRoot()
],
providers: [AuthGuard],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }Step 13:
Put the following code inside the app module:
TypeScript
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ProductsComponent } from './products/products.component';
import {HttpClientModule} from '@angular/common/http';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { JwtModule } from "@auth0/angular-jwt";
import { AuthGuard } from './guards/auth-guard.service';
import { HomepageComponent } from './homepage/homepage.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';
import { ToastrModule } from 'ngx-toastr';
//all components routes
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', component: HomepageComponent },
{ path: 'product', component: ProductsComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] },
{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
];
//function is use to get jwt token from local storage
export function tokenGetter() {
return localStorage.getItem("jwt");
}
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
ProductsComponent,
HomepageComponent,
LoginComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
HttpClientModule,
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
RouterModule.forRoot(routes),
JwtModule.forRoot({
config: {
tokenGetter: tokenGetter,
allowedDomains: ["localhost:7299"],
disallowedRoutes: []
}
}),
ToastrModule.forRoot()
],
providers: [AuthGuard],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
view rawSo, here you can see, first, we put some routes and created one method to get the JWT token from local storage, and we also configured the JWT module and Auth Guard inside that.
Step 14:
Finally, run your application:
npm start
You will see the login page when running the application:
After logging in, you will see the product page:
Conclusion
So, we discussed all JWT Authentication in Angular 14 step-by-step and how to store tokens in local storage and use them inside the product application.
