signing jwt while testing manually

[goldbergyoni]

I've actually inlucded the token within the online POSTMAN docs but just noted that for security reasons it extract out the Authorization header.

I've just included here an _answer to your question, is it satisfactory?

Note that when invoking manually you might hit another wall - the code is approaching 3rd party service (we want to tackle this complexity and show how to test it), since that imaginary service is not available your code will fail. In the automated tests we use a special networking tool, nock, that mocks that service

Visit the file user-service-client.ts and change the URL to any REST service that is available, or just return something hard-coded

p.s. May I ask, which type of app are you building using Practica?

so yes while this token works i wanted to be able to generate my own tokens, or at least know my way around, is there any way this could be achieved?

ok let me try this

i am just learning the best practices, not building anything.

@surajsharma The link explains how to generate your own token. If you could feedback what specifically in this text is lacking - we can improve it
