why use passport-js?

Open vikas-0 opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

I see you are not using passport-js as middleware then why use it at all. also why not use passport-jwt strategy?

I’m also trying to understand this. While building out this repository for my own project, I’m noticing that the authentication methods are a bit unusual.

Is this repository still being maintained?

If so, what is the rationale behind the following?

  • Using Passport Local strategy with JWT as opposed to just using the Passport-JWT strategy?
  • Why is express sessions module included in the app?

I think it's abandoned, it was just gateway to the paid premium course.

Have you found any other good repositories of similar nature that are maintained?
