Developer 1: Work primarily with the server.js and passport.js files and files in the controllers/ folder. Work primarily with Node.js and Express.js technologies. Collaborate with Developer 3 to integrate Passport.js (passport.js) for user authentication.

Developer 1 and 3 are working together to implement user authentication using Passport.js, express-session, and cookies. This is an essential part of the MVP for securing user profiles and transactions. It's a fundamental feature for user access and state maintenance.

Work completed to date on backend development:

Configured the LocalStrategy for authenticating users. Used bcrypt to securely compare passwords. Wrapped the Passport setup in a function to make it more modular.

Integration in server.js: Integrated Passport.js for user authentication. Initialized session configuration. Connected to the database and defined routes.

Routes and Controllers: Implemented routes for user-related functionalities.

Partial implementation of API endpoints for user-related routes. Files I created and worked on: server.js, passport.js, files in controllers folder, files in utils folder.

Backend still needs models and associations defined, but this is the work of Developer 2 I am moving this issue over to testing/review column on the project board.
