Install the required dependencies. From within this ./example directory run:

$ npm install

The example rely on an email delivery strategy for the token, therefore, to properly works, it requires access to an smpt server to send emails. (You can simply use your gmail account for testing.)

Simply add a .env file within this ./example directory:

touch .env

Within that file make sure to list the following environment variables with your own values:

smtpServerFrom=
smtpServerUser=
smtpServerPassword=
smtpServerHost= #for gmail should be smtp.gmail.com
smtpServerPort= #for gmail should be 465

The example implement a dummy database with a couple of users on records, make sure to have an user with a valid email address in there, so that you can test receiving the activation email. Just add your own user/email to the records here

Simply run the following command and you should be now ready to go

npm start

Visit http://localhost:3000/login submit your email in the form (should be the same email you added to the records in the dummy db) and you should be redirected to /login/message with a confirmation message.

You should have recived an email with a link, it will look something like http://localhost:3000/?token=xxx. Click it and you should be logged in (The app will redirect to your profile page /profile)

Here you will be able to check your profile page. You won't be able to access this page while logged out.

You will be logged out when hitting this route
