PassportLocalExample

Simple example of implemetation passport-local session cookies baset strategy of user registration/authorization

How to implement in my code?

• Create a fork of this repository
• Clone your own forked repository
• Change the .env file with your own database credentials (optionally change the session's secret key)

$ nodemon app.js

or

$ node app.js

How to use?

Send http request to the server from the application you prefer (f.e. Postman) Or create front-end application and use the server's API

API routes

http://localhost:${port}/api/v1 - the basic URL of appication routes. Dont forget to replace ${port} with the port your application started (3000 by default)

Authentication

• POST - /auth/registration - create new user (username, password fields are requiered)
• POST - /auth/login - login user (username, password fields are requiered)
• POST - /auth/logout - logout user

User

• GET - /user - get current user (self-checking of user authentication status)

Don't forget

Don't forget to allow using credentials in case of development front-side application because it uses http-only cookies for data transferring See axios example bellow

const axios = require('axios')

const axiosInstance = axios.create({
    withCredentials: true
})

module.export = { axios: axiosInstance }
