Authentication and Authorization with Blazor

This project demonstrates how to implement authentication and authorization in a Blazor application. It includes a .NET Core Web API for user management and JWT token-based authentication.

Features

• User registration and login
• JWT token generation and validation
• Role-based authorization
• Secure API endpoints

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 8 SDK
• Visual Studio 2019 or later with ASP.NET and web development workload
• SQL Server or SQL Server Express

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Ibraheem-MuhammedAmeen/Authentication-and-Authorization-With-Blazor.git
   cd Authentication-and-Authorization-With-Blazor

2. Set up the database:

   • Update the connection string in appsettings.json to point to your SQL Server instance.
   • Apply migrations to create the database schema.

   dotnet ef database update

3. Run the application:

   dotnet run

   The API will be available at https://localhost:5001.

Project Structure

• Server: Contains the ASP.NET Core Web API for user management and JWT token generation.
• Client: Contains the Blazor WebAssembly application for user registration, login, and authorization.

API Endpoints

• POST /api/accounts/create: Register a new user
• POST /api/accounts/login: Authenticate a user and return a JWT token
• GET /api/protected: A protected endpoint accessible only to authenticated users

Usage

1. Register a new user:

   Send a POST request to /api/accounts/create with the following JSON payload:

   {
       "email": "user@example.com",
       "password": "P@ssword123"
   }

2. Login:

   Send a POST request to /api/accounts/login with the following JSON payload:

   {
       "email": "user@example.com",
       "password": "P@ssword123"
   }

   You will receive a JWT token in the response.

3. Access protected endpoints:

   Include the JWT token in the Authorization header of your requests:

   Authorization: Bearer your-jwt-token
