NodeJS + ExpressJS Authentication and Data Server

Latest additions (20Oct) ->

  1. Added NO_LOGIN_AFTER_REGISTER boolean
  2. Added CORS Policy allowance in auth server only
  3. Login is now a post request (need to update this in home_page)
  4. Logout too is now a post request (need to update this in home_page)
  5. Added user reset route in auth and data servers
  6. Added development env variable reference for auth and data servers.

Utilising

  1. bcrypt for storing hashed passwords
  2. JWT for token based server-client communication
  3. different data and authentication servers at different ports

Features

  1. Register a user with username, password
  2. Login with username and password
  3. Access/Update user data - only if accessToken is verified
  4. logout
  5. Multiple users may login at a time, but they can only access their own data from the server

Build

  1. Clone repo
  2. npm install
  3. npm run serverDataAuth
  4. Make own requests, or check out node_auth_api.postman for a headstart

Limitations

  1. Not connected to any database, server restart causes data loss. (However I think adding a database connection to this api will not be super hard)

Todos

  1. Reflect latest changes in postman and home_page.html
  2. Add expiring tokens. (currently only user logouts will cancel access of a token)

THIS IS ONLY BACKEND - USE POSTMAN or SIMILAR TOOLS FOR TESTING
