How can I implement local authentication using Passport.js?

To implement local authentication with Passport.js, you'll need to set up a local strategy and configure your user model.

What are the steps to set up the local strategy?

First, install Passport and Passport-local. Then, create a strategy using passport-local and define how to verify users.

Can you show me a code example for the local strategy?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

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

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

What about session management?

You can use express-session to manage user sessions. Just configure it in your Express app and use it with Passport.
