JWTExpressPassport is a simple authentication system built with Express.js, Passport.js, and JWT (JSON Web Tokens). It provides a secure way to authenticate users using JWT tokens stored in cookies.

• User registration with hashed passwords
• User login with JWT token generation and cookie storage
• User logout with cookie deletion
• Protected routes with JWT token verification

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd JWTExpressPassport

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Set up environment variables:

Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following variables:

MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
PORT=5000

Replace your_mongodb_connection_string and your_jwt_secret with your actual MongoDB connection string and JWT secret.

1. Start the server:

npm start

2. Use the following routes to interact with the authentication system:

• POST /api/v1/auth/register: Register a new user.
• POST /api/v1/auth/login: Log in with an existing user.
• POST /api/v1/auth/logout: Log out the current user.
• GET /api/v1/auth/profile: Access the user's profile (protected route).
