passport js - user athentification

  • passport allows 3rd party auth in express = good user experience, no password proliferation, no storing of user passwords in database
  • is a combination of middleware
  • below is the code sandbox for passport js.
  • i am following net ninja's tutorial. see here
  • i am using google, facebook and local strategies,
  • in the set up code, need to go to the google and facebook developers api console to create the client keys and secrets
  • code sandbox allows users using node templates to have secret keys and reference with process.env, these are private and not copied over when forked
  • added some logic in the routes to check if the user email existed and also user account integration if the auth method was used to login before
  • schema structure: mongo recommends embedding, vs ref
  • not yet done the local - sign up (not included in passport) + login, will need to use bcryptjs to hash the stored password

jamstack

  • #webdev, #jamstack
  • saw this new way of doing things called the JAMstack.
  • aint a specific technology stack
  • basically you convert your code into static files and serve via cdns and not servers
  • serverless = no more server errors
  • the stack i want to learn is gatsby/graphql + netlify + contentful
  • then i will ponder about how to do the auth routes
  • you combine with netlify to push deployment easy and a headless CMS like contentful to update your site data
  • get a really easy way of creating and maintaining a website
  • i went to learn graphql - youtube: netninja - graphql, you can visit the github repo here
  • the technologies are node, express, react, graphql, apollo
  • because i have heard good reviews about it
  • graphql = query language for apis
  • just like sql = query language for relational databases
  • no more writing crud routes in express for every single collection of data. yay. 
codes
  • codesandbox for the front end, backend is at the bottom, i couldn't be bothered to copy paste the front end react template + configure the npm scripts,  just so the both runs on the same sandbox,so i just referenced another sandbox for the backend + used cors middleware
  • youtube netninjs - check out his tutorials, he is a good teacher
    •  
  • frontend
  • codesandbox backend - i am using the /graphql route as the api endpoint
  • advantages: 
  • cut out express crud routes - get post put delete etc 
  • no more mongo embed or refs, no more mongo queries (no more callback hell or thenables)
  • clean data structure super easy to parse into the react front end

green tea bitch

let me tell you the story of a green tea bitch and a hamsum with cheater potential.  i work closely with greentea in office. greentea has/had a long term boyfriend if more than 5 years (not sure if they still together, greentea always winces when i ask her about mr i-seriously-think-you-were-cuckolded nowadays). but she also crushes on the now ex-tech lead mr suave. suave probably left to avoid suspicion? i remember seeing her and her mr cuckolded boyfriend, she was cosying, rubbing her body against mr cuckold and leaning into him talking, on the mrt on our way back, from one of our get togethers. also knows he buys her hundreds dollar worth gifts on her birthday. (actually not very expensive i guess, she is into expensive gifts). ms prettii and mr suave ever played accidental touch ( hand brushing as they both reached for the mouse, then longing looks). she sent him a sticker of fingers touching on group chat before. anyway suave decided to teach us newbies coding in chinese (cos he s

this just came out. his recent songs are getting better, i'm impressed. metaphors and imagery on point. flying, running barefoot, looking back, blackened nails, tears in sleep, warm bright sunlight, dancing alone, flying free like a bird i relate to this because my life is to be honest, so-so in the friends department and non existent in the romance department.  i don't feel like really sad, or regret, or i need to change it. friends are busy and settled down,  some are less able to provide a listening ear (maybe to them it is childish, immature, or being listened to means you have have to reciprocate so maybe not, they have theirs at home already, they are stressed and have no more bandwidth for anything else).  that is the reality of being an adult. maybe the occasional sympathy and warmth from a colleague or friend or stranger. but that doesn't do it for me. i don't need the superficial. and i feel it is so easy to have values not align one day, or per
