Overview This project aims to cover a wide range of topics in Next.js development, including frontend authentication, backend routes for login and signup, middleware implementation, and more. Below, I'll provide an overview of the key components and topics covered so far.
Frontend Development
-
Login Page Created a login page using Next.js and React. Implemented form validation for email and password inputs. Utilized useState and useEffect hooks for managing state and side effects. Integrated axios for making HTTP requests to the backend.
-
Signup Page Designed a signup page with form fields for username, email, and password. Implemented form validation for all input fields. Utilized React hooks for managing state and handling form submission.
Backend Development
- User Authentication Routes Developed backend routes for user authentication, including login and signup. Utilized MongoDB and Mongoose for database operations. Integrated bcrypt.js for password hashing and validation. Implemented JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for user authentication and authorization.
- Middleware Implementation Created middleware functions to handle authentication checks. Ensured that certain routes are accessible only to authenticated users. Integrated Next.js middleware for route protection and access control.
Future Plans
In the future, I plan to expand this project by adding the following functionalities:
- Nodemailer Integration Implement email verification and password reset functionality using Nodemailer. Send verification emails to users upon signup for email confirmation. Allow users to reset their passwords via email verification links.
- Frontend Enhancements Improve the UI/UX of the login and signup pages with better styling and animations. Implement client-side routing for smoother navigation between pages. Add features such as password strength validation and password visibility toggle. Feedback and Contributions Feedback and contributions are always welcome!
