Demo: Implement Create Token

In the Conduit.Repositories Project modify AccountRepository Class

Modify the CreateUserAsync Method

After the CreateUser method call, add a new
Assign user.Token to the result of a non-existing method called CreateToken
Pass in the user object as a parameter
Let the IDE generate the method for you

Modify the CreateToken Method

Add the following code inside the method below:

        private string CreateToken(User user)
        {
            var tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
            var key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Configuration.GetSection("AppSettings:Token").Value);
            var tokenDescriptor = new SecurityTokenDescriptor
            {
                Subject = new ClaimsIdentity(new Claim[]
                {
                    new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, user.UserName),
                    new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Email)
                }),
                NotBefore = DateTime.Now,
                Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(20),
                SigningCredentials = new SigningCredentials(
                    new SymmetricSecurityKey(key),
                    SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha512Signature
                )
            };
            var token = tokenHandler.CreateToken(tokenDescriptor);
            return tokenHandler.WriteToken(token);
        }

Resolve any missing namespaces

In the video I explain all the different pieces of the code and what they represent. You're more than welcome to follow along with the video if you would like to understand the code that creates the JSON Web Token.
