# MERN advanced authentication
**Developed by:** Eranda Samarasinghe
## Project Background and Overview
This repository focuses on full-stack development using the MERN stack. It highlights API security, scalable architecture, and database management, while also implementing advanced 2FA authentication using email OTP. Additionally, it is integrated with CI/CD and deployed on AWS EC2 helping to learn cloud infrastructure and automation
## Project Goals
The main objectives of this application are to:
1. Implemented JWT authentication to secure API endpoints and manage sessions
2. Built a scalable architecture with modular code using Node.js and Express.js
3. Used MongoDB for efficient and flexible data storage
4. Integrated frontend authentication in React for a smooth user experience
## Technical Details
Core technologies used:
- **MERN Stack, JWT Authentication**
## Configuration
1. Set up environment variables:
```sh
# MongoDB Connection URI
MONGO_URI = mongo_uri
# Application Port
PORT = 5000
# JWT Secret Key for Authentication
JWT_SECRET = secret_key
# Environment Mode (development or production)
NODE_ENV = development
# Mailtrap Configuration for Email Handling
MAILTRAP_TOKEN = mailtrap_token
MAILTRAP_ENDPOINT = https://send.api.mailtrap.io/
# Frontend Application URL
CLIENT_URL = http://localhost:5173
```
## Installation
1. Clone repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/dev-eranda/mern-auth-techniques.git
2. Install dependencies:
```sh
npm install
3. Build the Frontend Application:
```sh
npm run build
4. Start the Server Application:
```sh
npm start
