— Why do you need something on top of it?

— Because i don't want to reinvent the wheel? How about jwt?

— It's not alot of code either way

— Well if I can rely on a production ready plugin, why not?

— 

// require auth for all pages:
app.use((req, res, next) =>
  db.authed(req.token).then(isAuthed =>
    isAuthed
      ? next()
      : res.json(authNeededError)));

// Single path:
app.get('/user/:id', (req, res) =>
  db.user(req.params.id).then(user =>
    user
      ? res.json(user)
      : res.json(missingUserError)));

— Just remember DRY principles, and you'll write very little

— Well there are standards for that token.. Having something that layers this thing for you may be useful. My objective is build a complete frontend app (vuejs) that relies only on stateless API endpoints (even the login). Is that login into token the right way?

— Yes, you can use jwt for stateless login

— But you'll need to store users themselves

— So that'll obviously be stateful
