User Authentication with Express.js and React.js

This repository demonstrates a comprehensive user authentication system implemented using Express.js for the backend and React.js for the frontend. It provides a solid foundation for securing web applications and includes the following features:

• User Registration: Allow users to create accounts with secure password storage.

• User Login: Enable secure login for registered users with token-based authentication.

• Token Management: Manage user sessions and secure API access with JWT (JSON Web Tokens).

• Password Hashing: Safely store user passwords using bcrypt for hashing.

• Middleware: Implement middleware for route protection and authentication checks.

• Protected Routes: Control access to certain routes and components based on user authentication status.

• API Integration: Illustrate how to connect the React frontend to the Express.js backend using Axios.

This repository serves as a valuable resource for developers looking to implement user authentication in their Express.js and React.js applications. It offers clear code examples and best practices for building secure and user-friendly web experiences.

Feel free to explore, learn, and adapt this authentication system to your specific project needs.
