Authentication System

Backend system having 6 different levels of authentication

Prerequisites

• Download Node LTS version here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
• Download VSCode from here: https://code.visualstudio.com/
• Install both before continuing
• Download MongoDB from here https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community don’t do anything with it just yet.

If you want to use a cloud based solution such as mLabs that is fine, you just need to replace the connection string with the one provided.

Installation

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/ayushnanda21/Secrets_Authentication_Security <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME> && cd <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME>

To start your own repository,

important: make sure you are in the cloned directory.

rm -rf .git
git init

This will remove the existing git history, and allow you to link it to a new repository.

.env

Lets create a .env file in the root of the project:

touch .env

Then put the following code in that .env except you should add your details.

MONGODB_URL=<your_mongodb_connection_string>
JWT_SECRET=<your_secret_key>

Scripts

"scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon src/index.js"
  },

Mongodb

• Open the zip file mongodb came in, for mac users, go to the bin folder and double click mongod to start mongoDB. Windows users look for a similar file and run it.
• Start the web page and server by typing npm run dev into terminal.
• The site is now available at http://0.0.0.0:8080/

Running the tests

No test scripts available
