Hi team 👋
Currently, the backend lacks any proper authentication logic or user management system, making it insecure and non-functional for real-world use. To move the platform toward production readiness, I’d like to design and implement a full-fledged authentication setup using MongoDB as the database.
🔍 Current Problem:
- No existing backend routes for
login, register, logout, or auth middleware.
- No user model or database schema.
- No protection for private routes or APIs.
- App is vulnerable and cannot handle user sessions securely.
✅ Proposed Implementation Plan:
🛠 Backend Auth Setup
- Create a User model (with name, email, password, timestamps).
- Use MongoDB with Mongoose for schema management and queries.
🔐 Auth Routes
POST /auth/register → create user, hash password, validate inputsPOST /auth/login → authenticate user, issue JWT tokenGET /auth/logout → clear session/cookieGET /auth/me → fetch logged-in user data
🔒 Security Practices
- Use JWT with HTTP-only cookies for secure session handling.
- Hash passwords using bcrypt.
- Add auth middleware to protect private routes.
- Input validation using a package like express-validator or custom logic.
