NodeJS - ExpressJS Routers for Better Control - Tutorial 15

In this final tutorial of the series we prep our webapp for our next tutorial series! By using ExpressJS Routers we separate our authentication routes from our secure routes allowing both to be managed more easily.

Coming up next: Developing a Front End using AngularJS!

Literally the best node and angular tutorial in Youtube (I'm not exaggerating). Managed to compress complex concepts into simple and easy to follow lessons. It definitely did not waste my time like many other tutorials. Quality it is. Thanks for doing this!

+Brent Aureli -
Hey, a small question

e.g. when i click on the login button and my password was false, then i go back to the main page...

A way to solve this, was by changing '/login" with "/auth/login"

router.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local-login', {
successRedirect : '/profile',
failureRedirect : '/auth/login',
failureFlash : true
}));

the same also counts for the signup, ... any idea what the issue could been?

If you select a word for example "app" (minute: 2:57), then ctrl + d, subl will select all the words that match, also creating the multiple cursor for each word found.

Hi Brent,

For facebook and google, you follow a login / signup strategy in one route. For local login and signup two seperated routes. Could they be combined to one route? I tried to add an radio button with a value 'login' or 'signup' and catch them with middleware. This works, but how do I proceed to the right passport - strategy: Pattern: router.post('route', function(req, res, next){ if(req.body.action === 'login'} -> else ->

Help! I hate to say this because it will display my ignorance! ;) However.... For the Local Logon I find there is a logic error-

From the Home Page you click the Local Login button and get to the Login Page. There you enter your email and password and click the Login button. Control goes to router.use in the secure.js module. It tests to see of the user isAuthenticated. The user is wanting to login and so is not yet authenticated, so it falls through to the end of router.use and redirects to '/auth'.

Its a circle you can't get out of. It seems that when router.use sees that the user is not yet authenticated it should inspect the target url and see '/login', and then skip the redirect, letting it pass through. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

Hi Brent,

Are you planning on releasing new tutorials any time soon?

Can I omit the "/auth" and "/secure"  paths by using something like this:

app.use('/', function (req, res, next) {
    var router = express.Router()
    if(req.isAuthenticated()) {
        require('./app/routes/secure')(router, passport)
        app.use('/', router)
    }
    else {
        require('./app/routes/auth')(router, passport)
        app.use('/', router)
    }
})
