I have recently taken on the task of revamping an established project by creating a brand new frontend from scratch. After careful consideration, I have opted to develop a straightforward Vue/Node.JS project.
Within the current framework lies a Postgres database containing user information, including encrypted passwords and salts. While I am well-versed in many aspects of development, user authentication is somewhat unfamiliar territory that I must navigate for this new project.
The previous developer utilized Ruby on Rails for the original project, incorporating tools such as OmniAuth, as well as the standard Ruby on Rails authentication (https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/HttpAuthentication/Basic.html).
My inquiry is focused on whether there exists a Node.JS equivalent library that I can utilize to authenticate these existing users seamlessly?
