Basic Authentication with Node/Express and Mongo

This technical tutorial provides a comprehensive walkthrough for setting up a basic authentication system. It covers creating an Express server, connecting to MongoDB with Mongoose, defining user models, implementing password hashing with bcryptjs, generating and verifying JWTs, and creating protected routes with middleware. The guide includes code snippets for dependencies, environment setup, and a sample todo controller to demonstrate the auth flow in a practical context.
