Club_Website_2 VS carDealership

The second repository I contributed to was ufosc/Club_Website_2 which is the Website for the UF Open Source Club.

As I finished much of the administration portion of the current project I'm working on, I started to explore possible solutions for authentication within the app. I spent a good portion of last month going through a tutorial series made by Zach Gollwitzer (link to it on freeCodeCamp's youtube page as well as the playlist Zach's own youtube channel). The tutorial seems pretty comprehensive, it begins with a review of using Express middle-ware, because moving forward, you use lots of middle-ware throughout the rest of the series. The series then moves on to using PassportJS, the Passport Local Strategy and Sessions, and then to using PassportJS with Javascript Web Tokens (JWT) with Passport and then to JWTs by themselves in an angular front-end. I didn't actually go through the very end, which was the part where you implement a JWT in a Angular front-end because I wanted to get back to working on my own project. Transitioning back, I had to think about how I wanted to implement a user authentication system. Did I want to use Passport-Local with sessions? Did I want to use JWTs? I decided to go with what I found easiest while following along with the tutorial, which was using Passport Local and sessions, especially since this is the first time I'd be implement authentication and because I want to get this project done with.
