How can I implement authentication in my Express API using Passport?

To implement authentication in your Express API using Passport, you need to set up Passport with strategies like Local or JWT.

What are the steps to set up Passport in my Express app?

First, install Passport and the required strategies. Then, configure Passport in your app and set up routes for login and registration.

Can you show me a code example for using the Local strategy?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;

passport.use(new LocalStrategy(
  function(username, password, done) {
    // Verify username and password
  }
));
