A very simple app with account creation, login, and updating. Intended for modification to build a larger app with accounts. This app uses passport authentication and mongoose for a user model. This repository is primarily to show my competency with Typescript, Node.js, and MongoDB.
If you use this in production you might want to add:
- password confirmation
- requiring password reentry for update
- data validation for email addresses
- password requirements (ex. min length)
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build SASS (optional):
gulp build
Create a .env file in the root directory and fill in:
MONGODB=url_of_mongodb
SECRET=secret_for_sessions
Before building start mongodb. If you want to run locally you can use the script provided. Make sure you have mongodb installed. Script will use ./devdb for file storage:
./scripts/mongo.sh
Run:
npm start
To build, run server, and watch for SASS updates (for development):
./scripts/build_dev.sh
