JSON Web Token Auth

[boushka9]

On Backend:

• [ ] Create an authentication route to handle user login and registration
• [ ] Implement user registration, where you store user information (e.g., username, password) in your MongoDB database
• [ ] Implement user login, where you verify the user's credentials and generate a JWT token using jsonwebtoken
• [ ] Define middleware to authenticate and authorize requests using the JWT token

On Frontend:

• [ ] Implement functions to handle login/signup form submission and make HTTP requests to the backend for authentication
• [ ] Receive the JWT token from the backend upon successful login and store it securely in the browser's local storage or cookies
• [ ] Include the JWT token in the headers of subsequent API requests made to the backend for authorization

Protect Routes and Data (In Backend):

• [ ] Define routes and resources that require authentication and authorization.
• [ ] Apply the JWT authentication middleware to these routes to ensure only authenticated users can access them.
• [ ] Implement authorization logic to restrict access to certain resources based on the user's role or permissions
