MEAN-user-auth

REST API app implementing user registration and authentication using passport,mongoDB and JWT. Can be used with other apps needing basic user auth and sessions support
An Angular-6 based front end is in a seperate repo,but is present in this repo as a submodule

Requirements

• NodeJs v8.x and npm
• MongoDB v3.x
• Port 3000 should be free
• (optional) Docker and docker-compose

Running this server

• clone this repo with the angular submodule

git clone --recursive https://github.com/shawn-dsilva/mean-user-auth.git

• cd into angular-src... and run

npm install

then

ng build

this will put the compiled Angular files into your public directory,now cd back to root directory

cd ../

You should be back in mean-user-auth now

• run npm install to get all the packages for mean-user-auth :

npm install

• Chose which MongoDB you will be using, either a local installation or as a part of Docker image in config/database.js, by default this uses a Docker image

 database: 'mongodb://mongo:27017/meanauth',
    //comment the above and comment out below if deploying locally WITHOUT Docker
    //database: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/meanauth',

• If Locally : Run the server,which will be on localhost:3000

 npm start

• If using Docker : Run docker-compose,which will create a container based on Nodejs v10 and download a MongoDB Docker container

docker-compose up

CHANGES:

• Docker and docker-compose support added
• Git Submodule angular-src-mean-user-auth added
