With the continuous development of the Internet, user login has become an essential function of Internet services. Handling login requests is also a very common task in Node.js. In this article, I will explain how to handle user login requests using Node.js.
Step 1: Set up the environment
Before starting to process the login request, we need to set up the environment, including installing Node.js, Express framework and related dependent libraries. Here we take the Express framework as an example to explain.
Enter the following command on the command line to install:
1 2 3 |
|
The dependent libraries we use here include:
Step 2: Implement the front-end interface
Before processing the login request, we need to implement a simple front-end interface. Here we will use HTML and JavaScript to achieve it.
HTML:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
|
JavaScript:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
|
Here we implement a simple login form and send the form data to the server through the XMLHttpRequest object. It should be noted that when sending data, we set the Content-Type
of the request header to the application/json
format.
Step 3: Process login requests
Now that we have implemented a simple front-end interface, we need to receive and process login requests on the server side.
app.js:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 |
|
Here we use the app.post
method provided by the Express framework to handle the POST request. If the username and password are correct, we will Store it in the session and return a response, otherwise return another response.
It should be noted that before processing the request, we used the body-parser
middleware to parse the JSON format data in the HTTP request body, and used express-session
Middleware to provide session management functions.
Step 4: Process the login status
Now, we can process the user login request, but we still need to process the login status. In the front-end interface, we can obtain the current user's login status by sending a GET request.
HTML:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
|
JavaScript:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
|
Here we implement a function to check the login status and determine whether the current user has logged in by sending a GET request to the server. We change the button text to "Click to log out" if already logged in, otherwise to "Click to log in".
app.js:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
|
Here we use the app.get
method to handle the GET request. If the current user is logged in, we return a response, otherwise return another one response.
Step 5: Process the logout request
Finally, we also need to process the user's logout request. In the front-end interface, when the user clicks the logout button, we need to send a logout request to the server.
HTML:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
|
JavaScript:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 |
|
Here we implement a logout function to log out the current user by sending a GET request to the server. It should be noted that when clicking the logout button, we need to first check whether the current user is logged in.
app.js:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|
Here we use the req.session.destroy
method to destroy the current session to achieve the logout function.
Summary:
This article introduces how to use Node.js and Express framework to handle user login requests. By implementing a simple front-end interface, we have mastered how to use the XMLHttpRequest object to send POST and GET requests, thus realizing the front-end interactive function. By implementing the login and logout functions on the server side, we learned how to use the middleware provided by the Express framework to handle HTTP requests and session management functions. I believe that after mastering the content introduced in this article, you can already handle user login requests easily.
