Webserver

This webserver is built with Node.js and MongoDB and provides the following functionality:

• Login
• Create new account
• Forgot password

Getting Started

To run the webserver locally, follow these steps:

1. Install Node.js and MongoDB on your machine.
2. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory.
3. Install the required dependencies by running npm install.
4. Replace the url variable in index.js with your MongoDB connection string.
5. Start the webserver by running node index.js.

The webserver will be listening on port 3000. You can access the login page at http://localhost:3000/login, the create account page at http://localhost:3000/create-account, and the forgot password page at http://localhost:3000/forgot-password.

Routes

The webserver has the following routes:

POST /login

This route handles login requests. It expects the following data in the request body:

• email: the email address of the user
• password: the password of the user

If the email and password are correct, it responds with a 200 OK status and the message "Logged in successfully". If the email or password is incorrect, it responds with a 400 Bad Request status and the message "Incorrect email or password".

POST /create-account

This route handles create account requests. It expects the following data in the request body:

• email: the email address of the user
• password: the password of the user
• name: the name of the user

If the email is already in use, it responds with a 400 Bad Request status and the message "Email already exists". If the email, password, and name are all valid, it creates a new user in the database and responds with a 200 OK status and the message "New user created successfully". If there is an error creating the new user, it responds with a 500 Internal Server Error status and the message "Error creating new user".

POST /forgot-password

This route handles forgot password requests. It expects the following data in the request body:

• email: the email address of the user

If the email is not found in the database, it responds with a 400 Bad Request status and the message "Email does not exist". If the email is found, it sends a password reset email to the user and responds with a 200 OK status and the message "Password reset email sent". If there is an error sending the email, it responds with a 500 Internal Server Error status and the message "Error sending password reset email".

POST /reset/:token

This route handles password reset requests. It expects the following data in the request body:

• password: the new password for the user

It also expects the password reset token to be passed in the URL as a parameter.

If the token is invalid or expired, it responds with a 400 Bad Request status and the message "Invalid token". If the token is valid, it updates the password of the user associated with the token in the database and responds with a 200 OK status and the message "Password reset successfully". If there is an error updating the password, it responds with a 500 Internal Server Error status and the message "Error resetting password".
