Pair-programming project developed by Vanessa Hajek & Joanna Lodell.
This project's goal was developing an API with authentication in order to implement a sign-in/sign-up interface with authentication.
We learned how to authenticate users using tokens and how to store passwords in databases in a secure way. We also created a Frontend with a form to register, sign in and be able to see restricted content in case the login was successful.
We used MongodB and Mongoose to build our Backend Express API. This API has 4 endpoints:
1: A POST endpoint to create a new user. 2: A POST endpoint for the existing users to log in. 3: A GET endpoint to receive restricted data based on the validation of user through access token. 4: A GET endpoint to display restricted content.
