App.js and other server-side programs

dependecies

• dotenv - manages environment variables to keep them secure when commiting files to remote git repos. The environment variables may contain sensitive information such as API keys etc. It is important that we require the module as early as possible (preferably at the very start of the app.js file) to allow it to configure all the environment variables. Any environment variable declared before the module is not configured.

authentication and login

• The bcrypt library has been used to hash user passwords, with 10 rounds of salting to enhance encryption.
• For login activity:

after a successful login, a session is maintained and established through a cookie set in the user's browser so that each subsequent does not contain credentials, but rather a unique cookie that identifies the session. Passport.js is used to serialize and deserialize the User instances to and from the sessions
