Guide

Auto deployment of code would not only save me time, it would ensures that my repository is deployed in the same manner with every push; without the need of ssh'ing into the server. I recently spent some time exploring the best solution to auto deployment with GitHub using private token keys (I did not want to use SSH for this). For a project I am currently working on, I needed the ability to push (or commit) updates to my master Git repository and then forward to them to a server. There are many solutions out there, but they were over engineered and complex. I just wanted a simple solution that works with node.js. This would enable me to embed...

This is the final post of the two part series for creating a MEAN stack user authentication framework with SMS verification. You can read about setting up the back-end server here. This blog post will explore the development of the IONIC app for both Android and iOS; including the ability to call our API to validate an SMS number using Authy. Below is an example of the Login App we are going to create. All the code will be available on my GitHub page here. This repo contains the Login App and back-end server. Take note of the comments within the ReadMe file. I am using the MEAN stack, but you can use any type of environment as the principles...

In this mini two part series I am going to share some code and guidance on how to use Twilio/Authy for user SMS authentication using a MEAN stack enviorment to create a full authentication system for a mobile phone app (iOS/Android) or web app. This blog post will explore the development of the backend server; including API, MongoDB database and authenticating users. A follow-up post will explore the creation of the IONIC app (can be adapted to web app) and will be live in a couple of days. The series will cover: Registration, validation and storing of user credentials. Authy authentication and SMS messaging Log in a user using token based authentication. Protect routes and app states based...
