More FAQs in DevTinder Project Architecture and Design Overview
DevTinder is a teaching project that mimics Tinder. Users sign up, create profiles, swipe on others, match with mutual likes, and chat in real time. It is a real Node.js backend.
Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, JWT for auth, Socket.IO for real-time chat. The frontend is React. The backend is a well-structured monolith.
User signs up with email and password. Password is hashed with bcrypt. On login, the server issues a JWT stored in an httpOnly cookie. Protected routes verify the JWT through an auth middleware.
