Certainly! Here's an updated guide that includes the JWT Authentication plugin:

  1. Install and activate the WPGraphQL plugin and the WPGraphQL-JWT-Authentication plugin.

  2. Define a secret key for JWT Authentication. This key will be used to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens. You can define the key in your wp-config.php file like this:

    define( 'GRAPHQL_JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY', 'your-secret-key' );
    

    Replace your-secret-key with a unique, randomly generated string of characters. You can use a tool like the WordPress Salt generator (https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/) to generate a random string.

    Alternatively, you can use the graphql_jwt_auth_secret_key filter to define the key in a custom function:

    add_filter( 'graphql_jwt_auth_secret_key', function() {
        return 'your-secret-key';
    } );
    
  3. Ensure that your server is passing the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header to WordPress. In some cases, this header may not be passed due to server configurations. You can enable the header in your server configuration file, such as .htaccess file for Apache, or by following instructions specific to your server.

  4. Use the login mutation to authenticate a user and retrieve a JWT token. The login mutation takes a LoginUserInput input type and returns an authToken and user object with id and name fields. You can store the authToken in local storage (or similar) and use it in subsequent requests as an HTTP Authorization header to authenticate the user.

    Here's an example query for the login mutation:

    mutation LoginUser {
        login(
            input: {
                clientMutationId: "uniqueId",
                username: "your_login",
                password: "your password"
            }
        ) {
            authToken
            user {
                id
                name
            }
        }
    }
    

    Replace your_login and your_password with the user's login credentials. You can use a tool like GraphiQL or Insomnia to send the query to your WordPress site and retrieve the token.

  5. Use the authToken retrieved from the login mutation as an HTTP Authorization header in subsequent requests to authenticate the user. The header should be in the format Authorization: Bearer {authToken}.

    The method for setting the Authorization header varies depending on your HTTP client library. For example, you can set the header in Apollo Client like this:

    const client = new ApolloClient({
        uri: 'http://your-wordpress-site/graphql',
        headers: {
            Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}`,
        },
    });
    
  6. Use the registerUser mutation to create a new user with a JWT token. The registerUser mutation takes a RegisterUserInput input type and returns a user object with jwtAuthToken and jwtRefreshToken fields.

    Here's an example query for the registerUser mutation:

    mutation RegisterUser {
        registerUser(
            input: {
                clientMutationId: "uniqueId",
                username: "your_username",
                password: "your_password",
                email: "your_email"
            }
        ) {
            user {
                jwtAuthToken
                jwtRefreshToken
            }
        }
    }
    

    Replace your_username, your_password, and your_email with the desired values for the new user.

  7. Use the refreshJwtAuthToken mutation to refresh an expired JWT token. The `refreshJwtAuthToken
