Authentication Project using MVC architecture

This project is an authentication system built using ExpressJs with both manual and Google authentication options. The project follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture and uses a Singleton pattern for user storage.

Features

• Manual Authentication: Users can sign up and log in with a username and password.
• Google Authentication: Users can log in using their Google account.
• JWT (JSON Web Token): Tokens are generated and validated for session management.
• Singleton Pattern for User Storage: Users are stored in a Singleton class, eliminating the need for a database.
• Middleware: Custom middleware checks if a JWT token is still valid. If the token is invalid or expired, the user is redirected to the signup page.
• Express Routers: Used to manage routes for authentication and other parts of the application.
