KeystoneJS Sessions

Description

Session handling decides who can see and change content in a KeystoneJS project, and this mini-course explains it in ten short PDF lessons. It begins with how sessions work, then builds a first authentication system and configures password fields and their security settings.

You read about stateless sessions, how session data and user context are managed, and how access control rules are written on top of them. Further lessons cover user registration, security points for production, and ways to test and debug authentication flows. After reading, you should be able to set up login for a KeystoneJS project and check that it behaves as intended. Some lessons include a checklist or exercise.

Who it is for: web developers who build content-managed sites with KeystoneJS and need to add user login.
