# Authentication API

The Authentication API provides OTP-based login, access-token renewal, password recovery, current-user lookup, and logout.

## Base URL

```text
http://localhost:3070/api/auth
```

Requests and responses use JSON unless otherwise stated.

## Authentication

After a successful login, the API returns an access token in the response and sets two HTTP-only cookies:

- `access_token` — valid for 15 minutes
- `refresh_token` — valid for 7 days

Protected endpoints accept the access token through the `access_token` cookie or this header:

```http
Authorization: Bearer <access-token>
```

When using cookie authentication from a browser, send requests with credentials enabled.

## Request OTP

Validates the user's email and password, then sends a one-time password to the registered email address.

**Endpoint:** `POST` [http://localhost:3070/api/auth/req-otp](http://localhost:3070/api/auth/req-otp)

### Request body

```json
{
  "email": "sathira@niolla.lk",
  "password": "Niolla@123"
}
```

### Success response — `201 Created`

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "OTP Sent Successfully"
}
```

### Error responses

- `401 Unauthorized` — invalid password
- `404 Not Found` — user not found
- `500 Internal Server Error` — OTP generation or email delivery failed

---

## Login

Verifies the emailed OTP and creates an authenticated session. The user account must be active.

**Endpoint:** `POST` [http://localhost:3070/api/auth/login](http://localhost:3070/api/auth/login)

### Request body

```json
{
  "email": "sathira@niolla.lk",
  "otp": "922304"
}
```

### Success response — `200 OK`

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Login Successful",
  "data": {
    "id": "usr_5ff8afec-5ddc-47d9-a63f-b43df0d8c3b4",

    "role": null,
    "accountType": "admin",
    "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."

}
```

The response also sets the `access_token` and `refresh_token` HTTP-only cookies.

### Error responses

## Reset Password

Sets a new password using the token from the password-reset email. A successful reset invalidates all existing refresh sessions for the user.

The new password must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one symbol, and four digits. It must differ from the current password.

### Success response — `200 OK`

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Password reset successfully. Please login again."
}
```
