As soon as this PR gets merged I will do #27 to show how to use the authenticated API router.

Update README.md's instruction of npm start, it seems like now a key of a certain length is required

Authentication package seems complete. #29 can be resumed once merged.

#29 can be resumed once merged.

Resumed? This PR completes #29, it will not need to resume.

I tried to test it with post man but it said this.

I'm not actually sure if this is a bug or am I testing it wrong

I think the problem is that,

You ran login through auth as auth is used for all routes, which it fails as there's no cookies, and the it toss the error as it is designed to. But then the error also gets interpreted as an internal server error for some reason so.. yeah...

I don't know if the fact that you called use auth after /login would means login doesn't trigger auth though. Cause if the ordering matters than it's weird that auth even gets called in the first place. I tried to find example for this on the documentation but i found nothing

[shangzhel]

That's because your HTTP method is set to GET which falls through the login route. I do need to fix it though.
