This boilerplate provides a modular route structure and includes an example of basic authentication using middleware. Let's dive into the details:

The route structure follows a modular pattern, which helps keep your code organized as your application grows. The

directory contains individual route modules, each handling specific routes and their associated logic.

To define new routes or extend existing ones, you can create additional route modules in the

directory and include them in the main

file.

The example authentication system in this boilerplate demonstrates the basic flow of user registration, login, and protected routes using middleware.

Registration: The
endpoint in
allows users to register by providing a username, email, and password. Passwords are hashed before being stored in the database.
Login: The
endpoint in
handles user logins. It checks the provided credentials against the stored hashed password and issues a JSON Web Token (JWT) upon successful login.
Protected Routes: The boilerplate includes of a protected routes that requires authentication. The
middleware is applied to this route to ensure that only authenticated users can access it. If a user is not authenticated, they will receive a 401 Unauthorized response.
