Authenticket

The authenticket project is a Node.js middleware designed to simplify user authentication and management for Express applications. It offers several features, including custom protected routes, rate limiting, and user management. Below is a summary of the key points from the README:

Features:

• User Authentication: Easy registration and login with secure password hashing using bcrypt and JWT-based authentication.
• Custom Protected Routes: Middleware to secure your endpoints and ensure only authenticated users can access them.
• Custom User Schema: You can use the default user schema or create your own to fit your application's needs.

Setup Instructions:

• Install required packages: Express, Mongoose, dotenv.

• Create an Express app.

• Configure dotenv for environment variables.

• Add app.use(express.json()) middleware.

• Install authenticket and set up the middleware by connecting to MongoDB.

  const { authocate } = require('authenticket');
  const mongoose = require('mongoose');
  
  mongoose
    .connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {
      useUnifiedTopology: true,
      useNewUrlParser: true,
    })
    .then((conn) => {
      console.log(`MongoDB connected: ${conn.connection.host}`);
      authocate(app, conn, process.env.JWT_SECRET_KEY);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
      process.exit(1);
    });
  

Usage:

authocate(app, conn, process.env.JWT_SECRET_KEY, { userSchema: customUserSchema})

Built-in API endpoints for user authentication and management, including login, signup, update user, and get user details.

User Schema:

You can use the default user schema provided or create a custom schema to fit your requirements.

Custom Protected Routes:

Protect your endpoints by using the authorize middleware, ensuring only authorized users can access them.
