Express Auth Example

This is a small example on how to setup traditional email/password authentication. The setup shown here is rather minimal, and should only serve to learn about auth. Production apps should use more secure methods than password authentication.

Features

• TypeScript
• Express
• Postgres
• Docker

Prerequisites

You will need Node installed on your computer. You can find installation instructions for your machine here.

You will also need Docker installed.

• Instruction for Docker Desktop.
• Instructions for Docker Engine, (Linux only).

If you haven't already done so, clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:kensonjohnson/express-auth-example.git 
cd express-auth-example

Then you can install dependencies with npm install

Run the provided helper script: npm run configure
Note: This only works on Linux and Mac. For Windows, see Manual Setup below.

Finally, you can run the dev server with npm run dev
