☑️ Installation

🤿 Let's dive into deep

🏃‍♂️ Getting Start:

First of all let's make changes in server.js. There will find a part of code where a const array created name allowedOrigins.

// cross origin issue
const allowedOrigins = ["http://example1.com", "http://example2.com", "http://localhost:3000", "https://next-base-template.vercel.app"]

app.use(
  cors({
    origin: allowedOrigins,
  })
)

Whatever url client we will have for our project we have to add here in this array allowedOrigins. For example: Our client site link is: https://musiur.vercle.app. So we will have new item in the array.

// cross origin issue
const allowedOrigins = ["http://example1.com", "http://example2.com", "http://localhost:3000", "https://next-base-template.vercel.app", "https://musiur.vercel.app"]

Then, we need to make changes in files in the configs folder in root directory of out project. We have two javascript files inside our configs folder

• database.config.js
• server.config.js

Inside our database.config.js file by default we have set this code:

const DatabaseConfig = {
    uri:`MONGODB_DATABASE_URI`,
}

module.exports = DatabaseConfig

Now, we have to copy our mongodb-uri from mongodb connect and paste the copied uri into DatabaseConfig objects key uri. Also we have to create table user inside our database that is mentioned in that copied uri in MONGODB web or desktop application.

Let's make change to another file server.config.js where we have by default this code:

const ServerConfig = {
  port: 8080,
  secret: "Allahuakbar",
}

module.exports = ServerConfig

We may have whatever port we want and also the secret for encrypting and decrypting JWT for authentication.

Again, we have to make change in another folder middlewares. Here in this folder we have mail.middlewares.js. Inside this file we have:

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: "gmail",
    auth: {
      user: "YOUR EMAIL",
      pass: "YOUR PASS",
    },
  })

  const mailOptions = {
    from: "[email protected]",
    to: toSend,
    subject,
    text: `Click to the click to verify your account: ${link}`,
  }

We need to make changes with our own credentials of nodemailer here:

auth: {
      user: "YOUR EMAIL",
      pass: "YOUR PASS",
    },

And also we need make changes here in this part:

const mailOptions = {
    from: "[email protected]",
    to: toSend,
    subject,
    text: `Click to the click to verify your account: ${link}`,
  }

In mailOptions object we are going to deal with keys - from and text.

Now, we are ready to install all the packages.

Use your favorite package manager to install all of them.

Here I would prefer to have pnpm or, yarn:

pnpm install

or,

yarn install

After installing all the packages we are ready to visit our other folders to work with.

📂 Folders in our project:

---|---> configs
   |---> controllers
   |---> database
   |---> middlewares
   |---> models
   |---> routes
   |---> schemas
   |---- server.js
   // node-modules

🔑 Account sign up:

We have a route /auth/signup From client side/ application body we have to get these information in order to create an account.

{
  name: "Musiur Alam Opu",
  email: "[email protected]",
  password: "[email protected]",
  role: "user"
}

Here: this object should be found in body with POST method. Account will be created if there is no error and also a verification email will be sent to give email address above.

After verifing account in database the user account will be verified for rest of the time.
