Todos Express Password

Overview

The "todos-express-password" app demonstrates how to implement user authentication using Passport with Express for signing in users with a username and password. It serves as a useful starting point for developing web applications that require authentication. This traditional web application uses Express for the server-side logic, persists data in a SQLite database, renders HTML pages with EJS templates, and employs minimal client-side JavaScript. Users are required to sign in to access and manage todo items.

Features

• Passport Integration: Demonstrates integration of Passport for user authentication.
• SQLite Database: Persists data in a SQLite database.
• EJS Templates: Renders HTML pages using EJS templates.
• User Authentication: Requires users to sign in to interact with todo items.

Summary

The "todos-express-password" app showcases the implementation of user authentication using Passport, Express, and a SQLite database. It serves as a foundational example for building web applications that require secure sign-in functionality. With features like EJS templates, session management, and guidance on extending functionality, this app provides a practical demonstration of user authentication best practices for web development.
