This library provides an easy solution for user authentication in MongoDB using mongoose, passport, and bcryptjs. It allows flexible configuration of email and password fields, as well as support for hashed passwords.

Features

• User Authentication: Login and logout using passport and local strategy.
• Session Management: Store and manage sessions in MongoDB.
• Flexible Configuration: Customize email and password fields, and define whether the password should be hashed.

    passwordField: 'Password',
    connectionString: 'mongodb+srv://your-username:[email protected]/Users?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
    dbName: 'UsersDatabase',
    userCollection: 'UsersCollection',
    sessionCollection: 'SessionsCollection',
    hashedPassword: true,
    multipleSessions: true,
    sessionExpiration: 3600000, // 1 hour
    customRoutes: {
        login: '/auth/custom-login',
        logout: '/auth/custom-logout'
    }
};

new MongoGate(app, config, true);

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});
