Ankur Auth RBAC

Custom authentication and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for Node.js Express.

Installation

To install the package, run:

npm install ankur_auth_rbac

Usage

1. Create a New File for Your Server:

   Create a new file in your project (e.g., server.js) and add the following code to set up and start the server using the ankur-custom-auth package:

   require("dotenv").config();
   const { createServer } = require("ankur_auth_rbac");
   
   const app = createServer();
   const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
   
   app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`));

2. Configure Environment Variables:

   Ensure you have a .env file in your project root with the necessary configuration. Here’s an example .env file:

   PORT=5000
   MONGO_URI=your_mongodb_uri
   JWT_SECRET=yoursecret

   Replace your_mongodb_uri with your actual MongoDB connection URI.
