Overview

The challenge

  • When a user sends first_name, last_name, email and password information to '/register' route with Http POST method:

    • Get these information from request body,
    • If all fields are not filled by the user, send a message with status code 400,
    • Check if the email adress already exists in our database, if so send a message with a status code 409,
    • If User email doesn't exist in our database, create a new user with encrypted password information,
    • Create a JSON Web Token for the user,
    • Send the new User information as a JSON with status code 200.

  • When a user sends email and password information to '/login' route with Http POST method:

    • Get user email and password information from request body,
    • Check if all fields are filled, if not send a message with status code 400,
    • Check our database if the user with this email exists,
    • If user exists and password is true(by comparing with bcryptjs), create JSON Web Token,
    • Send the user information as a JSON with a status code 200,
