VC&P Employment Test

Overview:

This is an authentication system using React/Redux in the frontend, Node/Express in the backend, and MongoDB as a server. Basic styling was implemented with reactstrap. Authentication is achieved via JWT. Protected routes are achieved through the use of a higher order component that automatically re-directs off of a protected route if the user is not authenticated.

Instructions:

1. Check the various pages via the top navigation bar. Notice that the "Check If Authenticated" page tells you that you're not authenticated and suggests logging in.

2. Create a user account by entering an email address and a password of more than 5 and less than 100 characters. NOTE This will automatically authenticate you.

3. Check the "Check If Authenticated Page" again to see that you are now authenticated and able to see a protected route.

4. Press the sign out link and feel free to test any other methods you can think of to break the auth system.
