• Authentication
• Express Middleware
• Mongoose Middleware and Methods
• Sessions and Cookies

Use Node.js, Express and Mongoose to build an API that provides Register and Login functionality using MongoDB to store User information using sessions and cookies to keep a record of logged in users.

You will build the solution from scratch, no starter code is provided. Feel free to structure your API anyway you want, but aim at making it easy to maintain in the future.

• Fork and Clone this repository.
• CD into the folder where you cloned the repository.
• Do your magic!

• Take the steps necessary to create a package.json to keep a record of all dependencies.
• Configure an npm script named "start" that will execute your code using nodemon so that the server restarts on changes. Make nodemon be a development time dependency only, it shouldn't be deployed to production.
• Design and build a set of endpoints listed below.
• Use mongoose middleware to implement password hashing.
• Use local express middleware and mongoose model methods to implement password verification.
• Use Postman to test the API as you work through the exercises.

• Write a piece of global middleware that ensures a user is logged in when accessing any route prefixed by /api/restricted/. For instance, /api/restricted/something, /api/restricted/other, and /api/restricted/a should all be protected by the middleware; only logged in users should be able to access these routes.
• Build a React application that implements components to register, login and view a list of users.
