    Here is a slightly modified hackathon
(original at: https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter)

Test user setup :

u: mrmccormack@gmail.com
p: lovisa

You can see my changes on Github.

I added the username to sign up form, and as a disabled field in /account
other minor things.

NOTES:

In the real app, there is NO login, it is done with passwordless login, but for testing this out... I left the password in the signup form, and in the /login form
An mLabs Mongodb is setup for this repository for testing only
I have NOT entered the code to validate the email and username as shown at my Stackoverflow post:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47272875/expressjs-error-headers-serverresponse-outgoingmessage-setheader/47312764#47312764
I have added the code for the revised logout  sahat/hackathon-starter#758  see file: app.js  (logout added there)


Problems noticed.

the login form, does not always log in the user... sometimes it returns to  http://localhost:8080/login without and error, even though correct username and password were entered.  Not sure why this is. It happens quite a bit.

**  I wonder, since this only happens when I do a bunch of sign-ups in a short period of time if Passport has some kind of protection, like flood protection to prevent one IP from overloading the website? ** What do you think.
Q: Can you see the problem?

Scope of work  from Upwork contract:


REQUIRED: It will be necessary to comment all change to code, so I can understand them.

Task 1: Add username to signup:

User will sign up with username, and email. (template has only email signup)

See my post at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47272875/expressjs-error-headers-serverresponse-outgoingmessage-setheader/47312764#47312764
I have it working, but something must be wrong. When I sign up about 5 users, one after another, the 5th one gets created, but doesn't log in. I don't understand "promises" and I suspect this is the problem.

Task 2: Review and comment my change to hackathon-starter


Tell me if there is anything wrong with my solution... posted here:
sahat/hackathon-starter#758

Task 3: Fix Deprecation Warning


Fix error when running hackathon.
(node:80605) DeprecationWarning: req.validationErrors() may be removed in a future version. Use req.getValidationResult() instead.


General Notes (for info only, not part of the scope of the work):


I'll be looking for ongoing support for my app (based on hackathon template). I'm experienced in working at a distance. My app is hosted on Digital Ocean, Ngnix.


My actual app will be passwordless, so I don't need any of hackathon's Passport integrations strategies, I only use local strategy, and have changed the "Forgot Password" feature into a passwordless (magic link) way of signing in. It seems to be working so far.
