Overview

  • This project is developed using the frontend of ReactJS, backend of NodeJS, middleware of ExpressJs and for database MongoDB.

    • The token will be stored in httpOnly cookie for security purposes inorder to avoid XSS attacks.

    Hosting issues

  • Hosted in render website with minimal resources. So somestimes website will be slow. But when you run locally it will work faster you expect.
  • Can't able to make the httpOnly cookie sameSite:'strict' or 'lax'. If strict CRUD operations are not performing and while with lax the cookie may disappear while refreshing.
  • So while run this project loaclly make sure your cookie property change to sameSite: 'strict' from sameSite: 'none'.
