This project we built an API with authentication to implement a registration flow. The frontend consists of a form to sign up and sign in. Once the user is logged in you can access the restricted content. It was a pair programming project built by: Isabel González and Ida Aspen

• A registration form which POSTs to the API to create a new user
• Displaying errors using error messages from backend

• API with routes to login, signup and an authenticated endpoint
• Encrypted password using bcrypt
• API validates the user input when creating a new user, and return error messages which could be shown by the frontend
• API deployed to Heroku.
• Database deployed using mongo cloud.
• Deployed to Netlify.

• We used a password generator to test strong passwords. Not noticing that the generator added white spaces resulted in false results on the test.
• A request in the backend was not passing through because of a typo ("sucess" instead of "success").
• Deployment was particularly challenging. We had to make sure the frontend was fetching from the right URL (all characters included. A slash was missing).
• Last but not least, missing the _redirects file inside the public frontend folder was causing deployment issues as well.
