Login Authentication In Nodejs

I have 2 main pages. One page is mywebsite.com/login mywebsite.com /login page shows login and password page. When the user successfully gets authenticated, the mywebsite.com pa

Solution 1:

I suggest you use the express-session npm Module to maintain sessions. https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session

You need to include it in your app.js

var session = require('express-session');

Give it a secret key

app.use(session({secret: 'anystringhere'}));

And change this code a bit

if (!response.success) {
      console.error("error is: ", response.message);
      res.status(200).send(response);
      return;
    }
else{
   req.session.loggedIn = true;
}

This should do the trick
