This task involves implementing the backend endpoints and business logic required for the login functionality in our application. The goal is to enable users to authenticate and securely access their accounts.
Objectives:
Enable user authentication: Implement endpoints and logic to authenticate user credentials.
Handle login requests: Develop endpoints to receive and process login requests from the front-end.
Implement security measures: Ensure secure transmission and storage of sensitive user data.
Provide error handling: Implement appropriate error handling and response messages for login-related scenarios.
Tasks:
Design the API contract for the login endpoints, including the request and response payloads.
Create an authentication service or module to handle user authentication logic.
Implement the necessary backend endpoints for user login, such as "/api/login" or "/api/authenticate".
Validate and authenticate user credentials received from the login request.
Implement encryption or hashing algorithms to securely store and compare user passwords.
Handle potential error scenarios, such as incorrect credentials, expired sessions, or invalid requests, with appropriate error responses.
Conduct thorough testing of the login endpoints and logic to ensure proper functionality and security.
Collaborate with the front-end to ensure compatibility and smooth integration between the front-end login functionality and the implemented backend endpoints.
Estimated Time: 2-3 days
Additional Notes:
Follow industry best practices for secure authentication and handling of user credentials.
Implement appropriate security measures, such as encryption, to protect sensitive data during transmission and storage.
(IMPORTANT) Document the implementation details and any relevant information for future reference.
Please note that this task focuses on the backend implementation of the login functionality. The frontend implementation and integration with the backend endpoints will be addressed in a separate task.
