Auth Series Index: Building Authentication and Authorization in Express.js

Welcome to my Auth Series!

In this series, we explore the core concepts and practical implementation of Authentication and Authorization in Express.js, covering everything from user login to session management and access control.

We focus especially on the behind-the-scenes workflows and the reasoning behind every step, giving you a deep understanding beyond just the code.


What we'll explore:
✧ How Authentication and Authorization work in MERN based applications
✧ Related topics that are essential to understand before implementing them (cookies, sessions, salting, hashing etc)
✧ The tools and libraries that simplify the process
✧ The WHY and HOW behind each step and concept.


We'll be breaking down the process in 5 parts.

  1. Auth Series #1: Understanding Authentication and Authorization
  2. Auth Series #2: Authentication Implementation Setup
  3. Auth Series #3: Authentication implementation using Passport.js
  4. Auth Series #4: Understanding Cookies and Sessions
  5. Auth Series #5: Authorization Implementation with Passport.js

Tip: Follow the links in order to go through the series smoothly, or jump directly to the topic you want to learn.
