auth-template

Starter code for projects that require user authentication (email+password)

Running the app

Before you build and run

Create a .env file at the root of the project with the following content:

DEV=1
PORT=8000
MONGODB_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1/auth
SESSION_SECRET=your_secret

Run yarn to install the required packages.

Build and run

Build and run the app by running yarn build followed by yarn start. This starts the server on localhost at the port specified in your .env file.

Run in development mode

To run the app in development mode run yarn dev-client and yarn dev-server in two separate terminals. Alternatively, you can simply run yarn dev which runs both client and server commands concurrently in the same terminal. This will rebuild and restart the server when changes are made. You will have to refresh the browser to see client changes.
