enable user authentication with credentials using next-auth

[precious-adeyinka]

Hey @Mogakamo , what kind of authentication are you desiring, do you mind firebase, auth0 or I think I can play around with appwrite's backend actually, although I have never used it, but would love to seize this as an opportunity to try it out if possible, but nevertheless, what is your auth choice?

[mog-rn]

@precious-adeyinka have you ever used express.js or passport.js authentication libraries?

[precious-adeyinka]

Yeah, but just once for a project really, I can look into it again, with your help, if that is your preferred auth strategy then if I become rusted with the concepts and implementation, but would be fun fiddling around again I guess.

[mog-rn]

Ok I'll guide you through. Just waiting for my backend guy to finish setting up the project and then we can begin in a day or two

[mog-rn]

In the mean time you can fork the repository as you wait for further guidance.

[precious-adeyinka]

Awesome, I will do that!

[mog-rn]

Which tech stack are you proficient with for the backend side @precious-adeyinka

[precious-adeyinka]

Hey, I could use the MERN stack. Nodejs with expressjs and mongodb using mongoose ODm, Firebase. Extra LAMP stack.

[precious-adeyinka]

Not so proficient in django and flask just simple projects.

So I prefer nodejs actually.

[mog-rn]

@precious-adeyinka that's cool. So I am actually trying to setup the backend repo and I havent managed to so I was thinking you could help me out on setting it up

[mog-rn]

I will switch to another issue so that we could finish with the setup and then come to this. This could result to around two pull requests that you could use for the hacktoberfest challange

[precious-adeyinka]

@Mogakamo Setting up a nodejs backend? Are you using nextjs on frontend?

[mog-rn]

Yeah setting nodejs for the backend. For the frontend I am using vue js but that should not worry you much for now. What I actually need is to have a fully functional backend service then get to intergrate later with the frontend application. @precious-adeyinka

[mog-rn]

I actually I am trying to vision the whole thing getting to work in a way that the client-side gets to consume the backend by fetching from the endpoints created by the backend side

[precious-adeyinka]

What's the scope of the project, models, logic etc. Like a system design or srs.

[precious-adeyinka]

Great,that's a good suggestion actually.

[mog-rn]

ok text me there and we can discuss more

[precious-adeyinka]

Already

[precious-adeyinka]

Okay switching now.
