This software contains a technology blog application meant for users to post blog entries and be able to comment on other blog entries. The application has been deployed to heroku for users to be able to use it as it is a full stack web application. When a user loads the application on the browser, the application displays a home page with previous blog post. The application also has a login page for users to be able to sign in or new users can create a new username and password. Once the user has login to the application, the user is now able to view the contents of the dashboard section of the page. The user is also able to make updates to any of the previous post that user made and also delete posts. So the authentication now allows users to be able to navigate through the page as they wish.

This code snippet represents the code used for for creating a user. I included this code because it it was something new that I learned.
router.post('/', async (req, res) => {
console.log("********hit", req.session);
try {
const newUser = await User.create({
//set the username to user input of username
username: req.body.username,
//set the password to the user input password
password: req.body.password,
});
req.session.save(() => {
//save the new username as username
req.session.username = newUser.username;
//save the logged in session
req.session.loggedIn = true;
//save the session with a user if
req.session.userId = newUser.id;
res.json(newUser);
});
} catch (err) {
console.log("******",err);
res.status(500).json(err);
}
