Chat Registration System

The basic backend code needed to register & login to a chat system (to be built). Send it the unhashed username and pin, and it'll store it in the users.json file with the pin hashed with SHA1.

API Documentation

POST /api/register/<name>/<pin> Register the username with the pin provided if it doesn't already exist

GET /api/users/<name> Check if the user exists

GET /api/users/<name>/<pin> Check if the user exists, and if the pin provided matches

POST /api/users/change/<name>/<pin>/<new-name>/<new-pin> Change a users pin/name

Chat Planning

Clientside js will register & check login of users, if login is correct will ask for a random token. Backend will generate token, store it, and then send it to the client to set as a cookie. Whenever user sends a message, client will send message & token and backend will check if token matches.

To-Do:

• Basic auth api
• Basic messaging system
• Token generation & storage
• Pronouns
