Coding & VR for Code Newbies & Beyond
Share:Not sure why I never updated my blog with that but last summer I coded a browser based SnapChat clone. Oh! so much fun. It’s been coded by using JavaScript and a face tracking library called tracking.js NOTE: for whatever reason the code doesn’t work for you is mostly like (95%) because of a cross browser compatibility issue. I’ve tested this on IE, Chrome and
Share: A short snippet to assist in linking of social media accounts in a userschema when using mongoDB & mongoose.js async function generateOrFindUser(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) { const email = profile.emails[0].value; const name = profile.displayName || profile.username; const facebookId = profile.id; if (email) { let updatedUser = await User.findOneAndUpdate({facebookId},{email,name,facebookId}, {‘upsert’: true, ‘new’: true}, done); } else { var emailError = new Error(“Your email privacy settings
Share: In October I will be working on pose recognition signup/login using tensorflow.js (during my free’ time which means the time remaining from my free time which is already being used up to make a unity3d project). This means knowing what decisions to take very early on. The project is till now loosely defined as in “pose recognition” only implies that you can signup and
Share: 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
Share: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
Share: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
Share:The project is live here and up for sale here Instructions for setting up are included in the project folder and here https://twitter.com/kauresss/status/1167195585381687296
Share: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
Share: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’
Share: 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
