Authentication Help

[NewUniverseEntrop]

Hi , so i was trying to use passport.local to do auth but then i realized that i cant add middleware without adding wrappers.

just want to know : can i just use cookies auth and maintian serverless :

1. upon logging in, i sent a res.json ( signed and encrypted json ) from /api then front end will receive the res, i create a cookie to store the signed json.

for all the following req , i can just use req.cookie to compare with the stored json ( in database probably) .

does this seem correct ? Thanks ! appreicate it ! sorry if this sound dumb..,
