We'll start with user accounts. You'll remember that in Chapter 2, Building a Photo-sharing Application, when we built the photo sharing application, we created a signin.js file; we'll want to use that here. We can set this up by following these steps:
Copy the template directory to create a new project, and then copy the
signin.jsfile into the new directory. You'll want to add the following line to the top of theserver.jsfile:var signin = require("./signin");Now, as you might recall, this requires a few more Node.js packages. Go ahead and install
passport,passport-local, andbcryptby using the following command in the terminal:npm install bcrypt passport passport-local --save
The
bcryptandpassport-localpackages are used in thesigin.jsfile, but we requirepassportin theserver.jsfile; we'll also create theusersdatabase, as you can see here:var passport = require("passport"); var users = new Bourne("users.json");
