Project Auth API

This project's goal was to build an API with authentication using access token and securly save passwords in a database. We also create a frontend with form where users can register, sign in and only then see restricted content.

The problem

The backend was made with Express API using mongoose and MongoDB for our user database. Our main endpoints are:

A POST endpoint to create new user. https://project-auth-kristin-josefine.netlify.app/register

A POST endpoint for existing users to sign in. https://project-auth-kristin-josefine.netlify.app/login

A GET endpoint that is restricted with authentication middleware so it is only accessible with a valid access token that we receive from the database. https://project-auth-kristin-josefine.netlify.app/thoughts
