User Auth mini app, I wrote a guide of sorts on medium ->

Mini App

LoginSchema

Simple Local User Authorization and Registration

For this mini app, I want to use Mongoose to create a collection, insert, delete, find and update documents in it. This is my first go with mongoose, I have a little experience with using mongodb module though.

Goals

1. User can create a new account and login.
2. User can update their information.
3. User can delete their account.

Tools

I will be using express, pug, body-parser, cookie-parser and mongoose. I will use cookies to make a simple local session for the user.

1. Express (Web-Framework)
2. Pug (View Engine)
3. Body-Parser (To read form inputs)
4. Cookie-Parser (To control cookies! yummy!)
5. Mongoose (To connect to mongodb)
6. W3CSS (To Look Pretty)
7. Jquery (For AJAX)

Register

Simple form page for user to register new account.

Login

The login page will be a simple form with a post method pointing to /login.

Home Area

A special place only ones with the key can get into.

Dashboard

Dashboard page loads current user information and lets the user update and save it.

Logout

The user can logout of the session

Delete Account

User can choose to remove all information from the database.
