Monthly Front End PDX Meetup
Details
In August, Alex Mueller will join us to present “Authentication and Authorization in an Express App.”
About the talk:
Have you ever wondered how to add login capabilities to an Express app? What about how to hide content from certain users? These two concepts are a major cornerstone in modern app development, but can be confusing to implement and even more difficult to find resources for online. In this talk, Alex will be covering:
• User registration with MongoDB (https://www.mongodb.com/) and mongoose (http://mongoosejs.com/).
• Email verification and password reset with SendGrid (https://sendgrid.com/).
• User authentication with PassportJS (http://passportjs.org/).
• User authorization with node_acl (https://github.com/OptimalBits/node_acl).
• How to configure your environment and set up the app for deployment to Heroku (https://www.heroku.com/).
The end product will be a boilerplate project (https://github.com/ajmueller/express-passport-and-acl) that you can use for your own future projects.
