Login System Configuration

  routes.put('/login', async (req, res) => {
    // Authenticate user input
    const username = req.body.username;
    const password = req.body.password;

    try {
      // Check credentials against database or other secure storage
      if (await authenticate(username, password)) {
        // Return authentication token in response
        return res.status(200).json({ token: 'generated-token' });
      } else {
        // Return error message in response
        return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid credentials' });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      // Handle errors and return error message in response
      return res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
    }
  });
