🇺🇸 PassportJS vs Regular Middleware on ExpressJS
I've seen this name in job postings several times, so I couldn't resist looking into what kind of beast it is.
They position themselves as a middleware for NodeJS authentication.
They call different authentication methods "strategies" and boast that they have more than 500 such strategies. I'll say this, the good news is that you don't involve all this crap in your project. If necessary, you install only the strategy you need.
