I am currently working on implementing authentication for an admin user using Express, Passport, and MySQL in a specific page. The authentication process works fine, but I am facing an issue with verifying whether the user is logged in while uploading files on the admin page within an Angular 2 app.
Below is the server-side code snippet:
const express = require('express');
// Other required modules...
// Middleware to check if the user is logged in
isLoggedIn = (req, res, next) => {
// Check if the user is authenticated
};
// MySQL connection configuration...
// Passport setup...
var image = new I();
var app = express();
// App middleware setup...
app.listen(8080);
I believe that I need to include header information containing the session ID or cookie data when making uploads through Dropzone in order to authenticate the user. However, I am unsure about the exact implementation of this approach.
On the client-side in Angular 2:
// Import statements...
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent implements AfterContentInit {
constructor(private image: ImageService, private http: Http) {}
ngAfterContentInit(): void {
// Initialize Dropzone instance...
this.dropzone.on('success', (file, res) => {
console.log(res.filename);
});
}
}
