JWT Token Authentication In Angular 14 And .NET Core 6 Web API

We are going to discuss the JWT Authentication in Angular 14 step-by-step

If you want to learn the basics and details of JWT Token then check the following URL over there I explained the basics and details of JWT Authentication and Authorization.

JWT Token Authentication And Authorization

Also, I recommend you to read the following article before starting this article, I explained how to set up a backend server application using.NET Core 6

JWT Token Authentication Using The .NET Core 6 Web API

In this section, we are going to discuss the following things step-by-step

  • Introduction
  • Create Angular Application
  • Add Bootstrap and Toaster Module
  • Auth Guards
  • Angular Service
  • Create Angular Components

Let’s start above things one by one

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 (c) 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 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 technique that provides us great security.
  • Also, the JWT is part of great Authentication and Authorization Framework like OAuth and OpenID which will provide a great mechanism to transfer data securely.

Create Angular Application

Step 1

Create 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

 "styles": [
              "src/styles.css",
              "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
            ],
            "scripts": [
              "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
            ]

Step 3

Install Toaster module for pop-up and notification

npm install ngx-toastr –save

Then, add the toaster in the styles section inside the angular.json file

 "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

JWT Authentication in Angular 14

 

Step 5

Create config folder inside assets and create config.json file inside that as shown below and put backend application API URL inside that

{
    "apiServer": {
      "url": "https://localhost:7299",
      "version": "v1"
    }
}

Step 6

Create Auth Guard inside the guard's folder

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 that

app.component.ts

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

<router-outlet></router-outlet>

Step 8

Create a Model folder inside the app directory and create a Product class inside that

export class Products {
    productId: any;
    productName?: string;
    productCost?: number;
    productDescription?: string;
    productStock?: number;
  }

Step 9

Create Homepage component

homepage.component.ts

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

<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 Login Component

login.component.ts

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


<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


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

    <div>
      <div class="alert alert-success" style="text-align: center;"><b>Product List</b></div>
      <div class="table-responsive" style="text-align: center;">
        <table class="table table-striped">
          <thead>
          <tr>
            <th scope="col">#</th>
            <th scope="col">Product Name</th>
            <th scope="col">Description</th>
            <th scope="col">Cost</th>
            <th scope="col">Stock</th>
            <th scope="col">Action</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr *ngFor="let prd of ProductList | async; index as i">
            <th scope="row">{{ i + 1 }}</th>
            <td>{{prd.productName}}</td>
            <td>{{prd.productDescription}}</td>
            <td>{{prd.productCost}}</td>
            <td>{{prd.productStock}}</td>
            <td><button type="button" class="btn1" matTooltip="Click Edit Button" (click)='ProductDetailsToEdit(prd.productId)'>Edit</button>
              |
              <button type="button" class="btn1" matTooltip="Click Delete Button" (click)="DeleteProduct(prd.productId)">Delete</button>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
        </table>
      </div>
    </div>
    </div>
  </form>

Step 12

Next, Create a Product Service to send all our request and fetch the data from backend application

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);
  }
}

Step 13

Put the following code inside the app module

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 { }

So, here you can see, first, we put some routes and create one method to get the JWT token from local storage and Also configure 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

JWT Authentication in Angular 14

After login, you will see the product page

JWT Authentication in Angular 14

Conclusion

So, we discussed all JWT Authentication in Angular 14 step-by-step and how to store tokens in local storage and usage of it inside the product application.
