AUTH SECRETS

  • Stretch
    • users first and last name
    • authorized email domain only
• Users can log in using email & password
• Passwords are hashed when stored in the database
• User information is stored in a cookie when signed in
• Cookie contains a signed JWT of the user record
  • The User model instance should be an object with an id & email, but without the password hash!
• Logged in users can view top secrets by visiting /api/v1/secrets
• Logged in users can create new secrets by POSTing to /api/v1/secrets
• POST { email, password } to /api/v1/users/sessions logs in a user
• DELETE /api/v1/users/sessions logs out a user
• POST { email, password } to /api/v1/users creates a new user
• GET /api/v1/secrets returns a list of secrets ([{ title, description, createdAt }])
• Each route is tested - Git history shows vertical approach - Password is stored in plaintext/password hash is stored in the JWT
