MusCo - Auth is a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack authentication system that provides a secure and responsive user authentication experience. This project serves as a practical example of how to build a full-stack web application with a focus on user authentication.

• User Registration and Login
• Password Hashing with bcrypt
• Persistent User Sessions using localStorage
• Responsive UI with Bootstrap
• RESTful API Design

• Frontend: React, Bootstrap, Axios, React Router DOM
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js, Mongoose
• Database: MongoDB
• Tools: Nodemon, CORS, Vite

1. npm init vite
2. npm install bootstrap axios react-router-dom
3. import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';

1. npm init -y
2. npm install express mongoose cors nodemon
3. "start": "nodemon index.js"

1. npm start
2. npm run dev

Use the following curl command to test the registration endpoint:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8002/api/users/register -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"John Doe","email":"[email protected]","password":"password123"}'

• dbConnection.js: Manages the connection to MongoDB.
• userModel.js: Defines the schema and validation for user data.
• userController.js: Handles the business logic for user registration and login.
• userRoutes.js: Defines the API routes related to user operations.

• App.jsx: Main application component that manages routes and session state.
• Navbar.jsx: Responsive navigation bar that changes based on the user's authentication status.
• Login.jsx: Form for user login, including error handling.
• Register.jsx: Form for user registration, including client-side validation.
• Dashboard.jsx: Protected dashboard page, accessible only to logged-in users.
• Home.jsx: Landing page with links to login and registration.
