Build an Authentication/Login System on AWS with React.js and a Serverless API - Part 1 (backend)

[serpent]

Love the vids, but the 'pw wrong' and 'username does not exist' makes me have flashbacks. Never give details on why a login doesn't work

[indiajackson]

When you said to stringfy the body because API Gateway is expecting a string...everything clicked!! I've been doing this for a couple years just because it's what you are supposed to do. It wasn't until you made that clarification that it all clicked! Thank you!

Nice tutorial, easily understandable, Thanks man

[manveersingh]

Not only did I learn how to make login work, but also learned on how to structure the code for its better maintainability

Hey Felix, thanks for the tutorial! I don't know if I am the only one but I have been having a lot of issues setting up serverless framework and amplify lately (there is always an issue with either configuration somewhere or a bug) so I really appreciate more direct approach like this. Couple of suggestions and notes: if possible set up github repo with code, hoisting functions didn't work in some cases (this is most definitely due to handler initially being set as const and node version), for imports something like buildResponse = looks better in my opinion but this is absolutely preference and definitely build on top of this course if possible! Great work, thanks!

Thanks a lot for the valuable information!! I may add the use of errorCode in response so that frontend can use internationalization. It would be great to have a logout too.

Great video, thanks for putting it together.
(I also got caught with node v16 vs v18 issue, for anyone else reading/trying this, you need to use node v16. :))

Hi Felix, thanks for the tutorial. How do I distribute the API Keys for my users/customers to be able to access the API from their browser? Cheers

This is great, would you have a copy of your .zip file? I followed everything. I try my health check and it doesn't work.(Message: Internal server error). If I remove the Const* for registerService and loginService then the health check works. I'm guessing I have something not correct in the register.js and login.js files. Just want to double check. Thanks!

Can you also show role based access with example ?
User a creates image where only user a can access and user b tries to access knowing its url .

[khandoor]

Felix you are really good I love this channel. How do you feel about doing this in Amplify? Will it save time or is this better? I want to build fine grained authorization apps with React and AWS in the most efficient way. This looks really good! Please do more I learn a lot from you.

I got the cors No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. tried different ways to enable cors in api gateway but still doesn't work

[nicholas]

Hi felix I have an internal server error and I am unsure how to fix it

[renoriandito]

do you need to npm install dotenv and aws-sdk ?
