Streamlined Authentication Experience: Express.js and MongoDB for Log In/Sign Up App
In this project, I developed a web application using Express.js and MongoDB to implement user authentication functionalities such as sign up and log in. Leveraging the power of Express.js for backend routing and MongoDB for database management, I created a system for user registration and authentication.
In developing this project, the primary goal was to gain familiarity with backend technologies such as Express.js and MongoDB while laying the foundation for potential future expansions or enhancements to the application's features and functionalities.
Key Learnings
Backend Development with Express.js
Through this project, I gained practical experience in building a backend server using Express.js. I learned how to define routes, handle HTTP requests, and implement middleware for authentication and error handling. Express.js provided a flexible and minimalist framework for developing scalable web applications with Node.js.
Database Management with MongoDB
Working with MongoDB allowed me to understand the fundamentals of NoSQL database management. I learned how to create schemas, define models, and perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using Mongoose, a MongoDB object modeling tool for Node.js. MongoDB's schema-less design and flexibility proved valuable in adapting to changing data requirements.
