This tutorial is great for JavaScript but it would be amaze to have it in Elixir from first principals to understand how to authenticate a request using JWT.

Todo

• Investigate which JWT signing/verification package we can use in Elixir
• Write a basic web server that requires a JWT Auth header to access a protected resource For a basic Elixir Web Server, see: https://github.com/dwyl/hits-elixir (no phoenix! 😮)
• Tests!
• write this up in a file called elixir-example.md
