What happened?

• Validate input, protect secrets, and cover critical API paths.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Reproduce the snippet in your your MERN app folders.
2. Change one line and re-run client or server.
3. Confirm the other side still works (CORS/API).
4. Extract a shared helper.
5. Add a quick happy-path test later.

Remember

You can explain CSRF Notes for Cookies simply. You ran a small MERN demo. You know one pitfall.
