A task manager REST API complete with user accounts and authentication.

Features

1. MongoDB to store user accounts as well as tasks.

3. Authentication: requires users to log in before they’ll be able to manage their tasks. Covers password security, Express middleware.
4. Securely store user passwords by hashing and salting the password before storing it in the database.
5. Middleware to automatically hash a user’s password before the user is saved to the database.
6. Authentication token so that the client doesn’t need to log in every time they want to perform an operation on the server.
7. Advanced techniques for fetching data. This includes sorting, filtering, and pagination.
8. Users can upload documents, profile pictures, and any other file type.
9. Email sending to communicate with users as they use the app. This could be useful for welcome emails, notifications, and more!
