Email Validation Regex

/^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/

Register User

• Validate - name, email, password - with Mongoose
• Hash Password (with bcryptjs)

• Validate - email, password - in controller
• If email or password is missing, throw BadRequestError
• Find User

Mongoose Errors

• Validation Errors (required property in schema)
• Duplicate (Email - unique property in schema)
• Cast Error (when id syntax doesn't match what mongoose is looking for)

Security

• helmet (sets various http headers to prevent numerous attacks)
• cors (ensures our api is accessible from other domains)
• xss-clean (santizes user input in req.body, req.query, req.param and protects from cross-site scripting attack)
• express-rate-limit (limit the amount of request the user can make)
