I never new middle ware functions could take arguments. I quess we learn everyday. Thanks 👍

[@PedroTechnologies]

I found out about this a couple months ago hahaha was surprised too!

[@awekeningbro1207]

actually, that function is not a middleware but, is returning a middleware upon calling in the app.get

[@ayoubnachat5920]

Hi pedro i like your tutorials a lot *So can you please do another one about managing users rolls but in this with JWT and more secure also with an interface like using Ejs instead of PostMan* and i will be so thankful if you do it 💜😁

[@vision6D]

Appreciated your presentation and specially the remark at the end where you make us aware of this being an example to understand the mechanism, but that it should never be implemented that way. Authentication has to be made first and tokens have to be delivered. Roles should not be passed between client and server, nor username, nor userid. Based on the token the server side retrieves the userid and associated roles for the app and then performs the authorization. Greeting from Geneva.

First comment ! I'm currently learning backend, i want to become a MERN developer, fullstack developer whatever, and i'm still undertanding how the backend works and videos like this one cna help me too much ! Thank you homie

[@PedroTechnologies]

Thank youu! Glad I am able to help! If I could give an advice for you that is starting to learn backend, I would advice you not to skip the fundamentals. For example, understand how an api works and the different aspects of a http request. Best of luck!

Hahaha thank you for the support! Im going through exams too! Good luck!

[@jeff-creations]

Excellent video Pedro. I'm using vs code and Hoppscotch. Do you have any idea why I needed to change my GET requests to POST requests to get the code to work? Really weird, I followed the tutorial to the "T". Regardless, the code works and am able to crudely authenticate.

[@zulfikarahmad3684]

Thank you bro... I want to ask, can we use social media authentication like google/fb for REST API? I don't know how to implement it to rest api

[@PedroTechnologies]

You can definitely use it, however you still need to save the user somewhere and find a way to maintain them authenticated for a long time. Many companies prefer it this way in order for them not to keep track of passwords!

[@joseisraeldiazzapata5179]

ooohh, thank you Pedro. This is useful and fun to manage different sutf with the api rest

[@PedroTechnologies]

Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

[@onkelhoy1]

But what if I change the role in the body that’s passed? This is a very bad security

[@usmanmughal5916]

Hey Pedro! Can you add login with Facebook or with Google in your type-graphql series, I am really having a hard time figuring out how to do log in with Google in my project which is based on type-graphql and frontend is on nextjs.

[@PedroTechnologies]

Hey, it depends on what you are trying to do! Are you using firebase for authentication? Are you using the google and facebook api? I planned on adding a video on a manual auth system.

[@usmanmughal5916]

@@PedroTechnologies no firebase just normal session authentication with cookies and just want to add google login or facebook.

[@becbelk]

in min 10 you use currying.... so it is FP style... thats cool

[@thrifterspoint1002]

thank u so much concept clear

[@josearmandozeballosduran7086]

Amazing explication.

[@im_parth]

Never knew middlewares could take up arguments! Also had a qn that we should not decide the role based on the body field right because it's easy to intercept the request and change the field via proxies like burpsuite . Correct me if I am wrong. Great video :)

[@nobytes2]

The role should be given upon sign up, or some subscription. In real world you'll never send role with the body.

[@constWardtz]

Thank you buddy!

[@PedroTechnologies]

Any time!

[@lei800123]

Love the explanation on each little element of the code. This helped a lot for a beginner like me. Keep it up! Thank you for the great work!

[@nomchomppom]

hi, just wondering but should it be more safe to have a table on the backend database which contains users' roles/courses enrolled instead of validating against the body of the client that anyone can modify?

[@im_parth]

I also commented the same thing LOL :)

[@thiagovilla970]

Actually, what you'd do in a more realistic (production-ready) approach is to have the user role(s) set in her profile in the DB by an admin or the like. Then, when the server spawns a session (stateful-) or issues a JWT (stateless authentication), that or those roles are attached to the session or written inside the JWT. In the latter case, the token can't be messed with (e.g. up the user roles) cause that'll break the encryption and hence invalidate the token. Pedro's example is didactic and beginner-friendly, but it's a big _no no_ as you guys spotted yourselves.

[@itsnobledean9450]

I been looking for this kind of simple clarity. No pompous nonsense. Just pertinent information.
