Module 2 / Updates / Sandra, Joss, Diego

Week 4

Week 5

💡 What is the current problem in lesson X:

Node | Basic Authorization

• Issues:
  • Complex and abstract / First look of Authorization
• Solutions:
  • Review materials, (refactor code, syntax, grammar)

Node | Basic Authentication & Sessions

• Issues:
  • Complex and abstract / First look of cookies
• Solutions:
  • Review materials, (refactor code, syntax, grammar)

Passport | Sign Up, Login, Logout

• Issues:
  • A lot of content in one learning
  • Code syntax, a lot of callbacks
  • Very complex terms (serialize and deserialize)
• Solutions:
  • Potential to do two learnings
  • Refactor to promises and/or async
  • Passport Local Mongoose could remove this learning

Passport | Strategies and Social Login

• Issues:
  • A lot of content in one learning (Slack and Google strategies)
  • Because GDPR and Facebook, some of this strategies doesn't work anymore, because privacy or are in maintenance
  • Code syntax
  • Some of the methods or strategies are deprecated
• Solutions:
  • Only use Google Login, nobody uses Slack for login in other account
  • Refactor and review the code
  • Update code for the updated strategies
  • Sometimes we use firebase for social login

LAB | Authentication with passport

• Issues:
  • Different code syntax between the starter code and the learning content
  • If we do all these changes, we have to refactor the LAB too
• Solutions:
  • Refactor and review the code, use the same standard and code syntax

Passport | Security & Roles [FIXED] ✅

• Issues:
  • Different code syntax between the starter code and the learning content
• Solutions:
  • Refactor and review the code, use the same standard and code syntax

LAB | Passport Roles

💡 Restructure current lessons merge/split in more lessons:

• Passport | Sign Up, Login, Logout

💡 What are other improvements we have in mind:

ES7 | Async / Await | NEW ⭐

• Why:
  • It was difficult for us understand why async/await instead then/catch
  • It was difficult to know where and when use async await
  • It's difficult to identify the async function
  • We don't understand what are the differences between the async code handlers
  • It's a little bit disgusting to always have to use try/catch blocks for error handling
  • The main objective of this lesson is encourage the use of async/await over other solutions, this optimize the code reading, reduce code and we can write async code with synchronous looking like code. We also use the latest of es+ which was a concurrent commentary in the LT's feedback

Passport | Passport Local Mongoose | NEW ⭐

• Why:
  • Passport Local Mongoose is magic, wonderful 🌈
  • With PLM, we bypass the abstract work of hashing, salting, serializing and deserializing stuff

Mapbox | NEW ⭐

• Why:
  • A lot students uses maps
  • Google API now requests a credit card, even if it is for development purposes only, many students don't want to put their bank information for this
