User signin #2
Description
This will provide an endpoint for only registered users to log in to their accounts. Users should be able to log in with with their usernames/emails and passwords.
This endpoint is expected to return an authentication token (JWT) with only the username encoded.
Endpoint:
POST /auth/signin
Response spec:
{
"token": "45erkjherht45495783" //JWT signed with only the username
}
Edge cases to keep in mind:
- Only valid inputs should saved to the database. Validate/sanitize all user inputs
- Responses should be sent with the appropriate status codes
- Handle errors properly and return appropriate error messages like so:
{ "error": "appropriate error message" }
