User endpoints
Let's implement endpointsfor CRUD users. We will need two types of endpoints:
- Open endpoints, which are accessible to all users
- An authenticated endpoint, which is only available to authorized users
We have two types of routers defined in server/api/index.js
:
const router = express.Router(); const routerAuth = express.Router();
We are going to use the router
for open-access endpoints, and routherAuth
for accessing authenticated endpoints. We will inject users into the request to differentiate between these two router
 types:
app.use('/api', injectUserToReq, router); app.use('/api', authenticate, routerAuth);
We will define authenticate
 and injectUserToReq
inside server/helpers/auth.js
:
const getUserFromKey = loginKey => new Promise(resolve => { Model.users .findOne({ loginKey, deleted: [false, null] }) .then(user => resolve(user)) .catch(() => resolve(null)); }); const cookieExtractor = req => { let tokenIn = null; if (req.cookies &...
