EXTRA simple nodejs server with auth

Have you ever tried to implement authentication on frontend when backend is not ready?

Or try to understand how auth should work at all?

This package is for you!

• ✔️ No database required
• ✔️ Only one hardcoded user
• ✔️ Super small readable code
• ✔️ Designed to play with authentication on frontend

How to use it?

1. npm i
2. npm start
3. server starts on port 8080 (can be changed in package.json)

This silly backend supports only three requests:

Login

POST http://localhost:8080/login 
with data: 
{
    user: 'user',
    password: '123'
}

server would respond with token.

This token must be sent in authorization header for all other requests. How to do it

Get data

This server has only one request:

GET http://localhost:8080/hello

which would fail if proper token got from /login is not provided

Logout

GET http://localhost:8080/logout

This request also requires token as /hello and would invalidate it, making this token useless. So you would need to login again
