backend-with-crud-and-auth is a NodeJS & MongoDB based boilerplate that utilizes Express, bcrypt and other libraries for setting up a server and authentication.

You can use it for:

• Quickly prototyping stuff in Hackathons.
• Avoiding messy setups and only writing what's important.

Register on MongoDB Atlas or your DB provider of choice and save the connection URL. Check .env.sample and create another file .env with the same contents. Replace Your_DatabasE_urI in the new .env with your saved connection URL. Also, don't forget to replace the SECRET with a long and hard-to-remember string.

Run npm install or yarn depending on your case.

Change the RATE_LIMIT_TIME and RATE_LIMIT_THRESHOLD variables to your desired configuration or use the default one given below.

RATE_LIMIT_TIME = 900000
RATE_LIMIT_THRESHOLD = 100

This can be pretty much hosted anywhere and on any platform that supports NodeJS. I usually like to use Heroku for hosting my backends. You can use any popular host like AWS, Digital Ocean, etc. with the required setups. To run it locally though, just run npm run in the command line and you should be set. The application would be available on port 8300 locally.

Thanks to RecoilJS - Facebook, TailwindCSS, and all other open-source libraries that I may have used while building this.
