Node Express Mongoose Demo
This project is a reference implementation of a full-stack web application and server-side rendered blog. It demonstrates the integration of a Node.js and Express server with a MongoDB database using the Mongoose object document mapper for schema-based data modeling.
The application features a complete user authentication system that supports local credentials and external identity providers via OAuth. It includes session management and security measures such as cryptographic password hashing and protection against cross-site request forgery.
The system covers a variety of content management capabilities, including workflows for authoring articles and managing community comments. It employs server-side template rendering to generate dynamic HTML views and includes configurations for cloud storage and environment-based credential management.
The project provides a containerized deployment model using Docker to orchestrate the web server and database.
