Listing an Organization's Access Tokens
In this lesson, we'll query all of our organization's access tokens and filter out any tokens that are expired. Then, we'll list the organization's tokens showing it's name, abilities, when it was created, and when it was last used.



Opaque Access Tokens (OAT) vs JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
In this lesson, we'll take a step back to understand the differences between the tokens we're using, which are Opaque Access Tokens (OAT), and JSON Web Tokens (JWT). We'll discuss security, scalability, and what makes up each token.


Creating Access Tokens Part 2: Inertia/Vue
In this lesson, we'll rig up the create access token route we created in the last lesson to a form within our Vue application. We'll also stub the overall manage access tokens card for the organization itself.


Creating Access Tokens Part 1: AdonisJS
In this lesson, we'll add a route to the settings portion of our application allowing the user to create an opaque access token (OAT), with the desired permissions, for the active organization.


Defining Access Token Abilities & DTO
In this lesson, we'll finish up our preparation work by creating a data transfer object (DTO) for our access tokens. Then, we'll define what our token abilities will be within our application's API.


Separation of API & Web Auth Guard Concerns
In this lesson, we'll restrict our routes to their applicable authentication guard. Ensuring our web routes can properly authorize using their role-based authorization and our API can properly authorize using our access token abilities.


Configuring Access Token Auth on top of Session Auth
In this lesson, we'll get opaque access tokens configured within our AdonisJS application on top of the already configured session/web authentication. This will include configuring the guard and setting up the db access token provider.


Overview of our Database Schema
In this lesson, we'll take a high level look at our database's schema so that we have an understanding at the entities and models at play and how they relate to one another within our application.


Getting Familiar with our Web Project
In this lesson, we'll quickly walk through the web application we've cloned down to get familiar with the data at play, how it's presented to the user, and the features at hand.


Getting the Web Project Up & Running
We'll get our web project cloned down. Then, we'll get it configured by first creating our database and running our migrations and seeder. Lastly, we'll get a test SMTP email inbox set up through MailTrap.


Goal of this Series
We'll cover the scope of this series and show some of the functionalities we'll be building throughout, which include an access token management panel, opaque access token authentication using an organization model, and building an API.

Singleton Services and the Idea of Caching
In this lesson, we'll learn about singleton services and how to use them as a store to hold temporary information throughout our server's life by building a simple in-memory caching service.


Vite and Our Assets
In this lesson, we'll learn how Vite is integrating into our EdgeJS views to serve our JavaScript and CSS files.



A Deep Dive Into Mixins & Compose
In this lesson, we'll walk through what mixins are and how they work by first inspecting them as plain objects then working our way into classes then finally TypeScript. We'll then implement mixins via AdonisJS' compose utility.

Easily Manage & Update Your NPM Packages With This Desktop App!
In this video, we'll see how we can easily audit, manage, and update our NPM packages/dependencies and their versions using a graphical user interface (GUI) called the NPM Desktop Manager.

Understanding JavaScript Promises in ForEach, Map, and Reduce Loops
In this lesson, we'll take a look at how promises work when we try to await them inside newer callback-based loops, like forEach, map, and reduce.

How To Use Vue 3 with TypeScript in an AdonisJS Project
In this lesson, we’ll learn how to set up a Vue 3 TypeScript application within our AdonisJS project using Webpack Encore. We’ll start by getting Vue 3 working, then sprinkle in TypeScript support.

Cross-Tab Communication in JavaScript using a BroadcastChannel
We discuss how to do cross-tab communication with a BroadcastChannel, the browser's native API to communicate across browser instances. It's rather similar to using a SharedWorker, just without the worker.

Cross-Tab Communication in JavaScript using a SharedWorker
In this lesson we'll be going over how to do cross-tab communication using a SharedWorker. SharedWorkers are Web Workers that are sharable across browser-instances (tabs, windows, etc).

How To Do Cross-Tab Communication In JavaScript With LocalStorage
In this lesson, we'll be going over how to do cross-tab communication using LocalStorage. Of the three methods we'll be discussing, this one is the most browser compatible method; despite it being a workaround.

All About JavaScript Arrow Functions
Arrow functions offer a concise alternative for standard functions. Though, there are important functionality differences regarding this binding, constructors, generators, and more.

Introducing and Understanding JavaScript Promises
A promise allows us to delay the execution of code that's dependent upon information retrieved by an asynchronous operation. We'll expand on what this means, how to use promises, and how to go about creating one.
