Description
Hello :)
I would suggest to create an example on how to secure a REST Endpoint via JSON Web Token.
The main reasons in my opinion are as followed:
- Many developers like to use the play framework for creating REST APIs. Since JWT Auth is the defacto standard for auth in the context of REST apis i would argue it would be useful to have this example.
- All "non official" sources regarding this topic are mostly outdated.
- It's hard for newcomers to solve such issues without some guidance.
I hope you can understand my suggestion and might consider it. Iam also open for other resources regarding this topic.
Regards
Moritz :)
