For Code Newbies
Disclaimer: This article intends to be a primer so that you may gain insight in order to understand beginner OOP articles better (for example on wikipedia). In order to grasp more abstract concepts, suspend as much logic as you would when watching Star Trek. Message not sponsored by anyone I know. Some neurons dissipated during the writing of this.
This is the next project in sequence to: Simply Auth: Authentication API for devs Simply Auth: Social platform authentication API for devs Sailor Moon Pose Recognition Signup/Login (on going….) The most basic functionality of the app will be: Register with a sequence of 3 poses Confirm your poses Login with your pose password I decided to go with pose instead of gesture since I
A 3rd party shopping cart made with simple, pure and very vanilla-ish #JavaScript! Check it out here Originally I had made a 3 hour course for Envato, Tuts+. At this year’s bootcamp, a group within the class implemented their own version of the shopping cart out here. The group went further by refactoring the code into a fullstack #javascript project which included a signup/login
This is part of the ‘Sweet & Sour mongoose.js methods’ series. In this function we will write a method that acts upon the UserSchema to check whether an email OR username already exists in the database. As an example use-case, this method can then be used in the any of your routes files by exporting the “User” to check whether an email address already exists
I’ve been using Mongoose (ODM library for MongoDB) quite a bit for the authentication project. NoSQL databases like MongoDB do seem more flexible for web apps which depend quite a bit on user interaction. Example a user might decide to login with a social media account or register with their email, a password and secret question-answer. I find it way easier to write a mongoose

To ignore remote changes and overwrite them git push origin –force The token conveyor belt: use hidden input fields to pass ‘info’ between POST & GET requests (if there is no user entered info into an input field which can be ‘gotten’ through req.body). Use case: in script.js assign the value of an element’s “innerHTML” property to be the value of a hidden input. This
This snippet is to conditionally render navbar items based on whether a user is logged in OR not. So toggle the ‘Login’ button to ‘Logout’ if the user is already logged in and vice versa. I admit it took more time that I had anticipated. Primarily because in the beginning I insisted on using a global variable in express to manage the user’s ‘isAuthenticated’ state
Past week I’ve been fixing issues with the simply auth project now on heroku! https://simplyauth.herokuapp.com/ I will add a rate limiting feature to limit login attempts to 3 and call it a day with this project. Rate limiting helps with brute force attacks so that a request from the same I.P address cannot have an unlimited amount of login attempts. It also makes an ‘app’
What started out as a small module has become a month long project. Some days I sleep well, other days I keep a notebook besides me to jot down ideas. I’ll be putting this project up on Product Hunt and Gumtree as a stand alone module for other developers to use. Version 1.0 has the following features: User can make an account using their
Same old web..new drama.. What are JSON Web Tokens? [JWT]? JWT are tokens that you can use in your web application to transfer data over a network and therefore authenticate communication between 2 parties. A better definition is: JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties. – Source It is a hash like encrypted string
