Need to add Authentication to an existing Node.js/Express web application? In this video, we’ll install the basic JavaScript dependencies, configure your Express app to handle authentication, update a request handler, and modify the EJS template to display a basic user profile.
In this episode’s bonus tip, we’ll be looking at how to avoid the frustrating job of restarting Node.js every time we make changes to the source files. Stick around to the end for that.
And if you don’t have your Node.js/Express app going already, check out the previous episode, which will help you do just that! https://youtu.be/vdFQJRVGHYM
