Information

This is a simple implementation of an end-to-end authentication based application.

The app makes use of React for a GUI, node for the API server and MongoDB for the database.

Usage

Database

• Install mongodb from https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-community/
• Install a mongodb GUI if you so choose : I prefer https://robomongo.org/
• In the server directory create sub directory /data/db (it may already exist if it was pushed to the repo).
• use command mongod (if its in PATH variable) in the server directory to get db up and running.
• user command mongo to view the database in the command line (if you arent going to use a GUI).

API

• npm install inside server directory
• npm run dev to start up api server

server methods:-

route = '/' @get headers = { content-type: application/json, authorization: jwt-token from route /signin or /signup }

route = '/signin' @post headers = { content-type: application/json } body = { "email": "email", "password": "password" } response = { "token": jwt-token }

route = '/signup' @post headers = { content-type: application/json
} body = { "email": "email", "password": "password" } response = { "token": jwt-token } responds with error if email address already exists

Front End

• npm install inside client directory
• npm start to start webpack build
• view on localhost:8080
