Another project update for our mercado-series.

What Was Done So Far?§

I have implemented the initial JSON Web Token logic for the auth crate.

Using the builder pattern, I came up with the following builder struct and its associated Claims struct to generate claims (or payload) for generating the token.

You can see how it was used here in the following lines of code, alongside the JwtService struct from our service.rs.

It's flexible enough that I can basically tell it's just a wrapper around the jsonwebtoken crate that it is using.

    fn test_correct_signature() {
        let secret = "dumb_secret";
        let builder = ClaimsBuilder::new(5 * 60, secret.to_string());
        let claims = builder.build();
        let jwt_service = JwtService::new(secret, None);
        let token_res = jwt_service.sign(&claims);
        assert!(token_res.is_ok());
        let token = token_res.unwrap();
        assert!(jwt_service.verify(&token, None, None, None, None).is_ok());
    }

Fixing Some SQL Schema and Logic§

So far the just recipes for running the tests are problematic (and they still are) because I find bugs here and there.

What I realise is because the migrations to create the tables should have IF NOT EXISTS so it would only create the tables if they do not exist.

Another issue is the lack of variables that are related to the tests themselves. For now, the current solution is just a band-aide. I am pretty surer there is a better way to structure the tests like putting a separate justfile script in a separate directory.

But for now, I'll just let it be.

The next step is adding Oath2.0 logic using openidconnect crate to the auth crate.

Once that's done, I'll try implementing the payments crate. I believe there is already client libraries for Payrex and Stripe payments. Not sure about Wise, I can try Wise too since I already have a Wise card.

So far so good. No progress on the frontend yet.
