Node.js Auth Starter Project

This is a simple Node.js project template, designed to get you started quickly with server-side development. It includes a basic setup with a minimal HTTP server, ideal for learning Node.js or kickstarting your backend development.

Features

• User Registration: Secure registration with email verification. The user is temporarily stored in Redis and receives a confirmation email with a verification token.
• JWT Authentication: Login system using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure session management. The JWT is stored in an HttpOnly cookie to prevent client-side access.
• Redis Integration: Redis is used for session management, temporary storage of user data, and blacklisting tokens during logout for added security.
• Password Hashing: Passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt before storing them in the database.
• Email Confirmation: A confirmation link with a JWT token is sent to the user for email verification, ensuring a valid email before user creation.
• Login & Session Management: User login with token-based authentication. If the user is already logged in, the existing token is returned.
• Secure Logout: JWT token is blacklisted in Redis, and the HttpOnly cookie is cleared during logout to invalidate the session.
• HttpOnly Cookies: JWT tokens are stored in HttpOnly cookies to protect them from XSS attacks and ensure server-side authentication.
• Error Handling: Detailed error handling for different stages of user registration, login, and token management.
