Playing with user registration, login/logout, auth, etc using JWTs, serverless functions & faunadb as the data store.
This is an example codebase that implements user registration and supports authorization using JWTs using serverless functions and the wonderful FaunaDB.
I wrote this to teach myself how JWTs work and also implement user registration and login/logout, etc flows serverlessly.

over traditional code structureI wanted to play with a different way of approaching authoring the code in this repository. Instead
of messing with try/catch
-es and lots of error handling madness, I have instead opted to push
those to the edges as you can see in models/User.helpers.ts and instead
wrap those values in Maybe
s and/or Either
s. These values are then accessed in a declarative
manner using match
. Their usage, imho, has greatly simplified the code as you can see in the
api/*.ts
. It's not everyone's ☕and I get that.
More info can be found in files with the same names under they utils/
directory.
