Overall Questions

1. Is the chapter too long? Should we split it in two?

2. I included filenames as a comment at the top of each line. You'll also note it's TS only. These are actually related: in order to use the @@filename directive, which is used throughout the docs, you have to provide both TS and JS versions. I think, given that we want to make it really easy to both build this, and to follow a good project structure, that including filenames is important. But it does deviate a bit from other chapters. Opinions?

Hey @johnbiundo, just read through the doc really quickly, one quick question as you are already using Handlebars: any reason you are using res.render() to display the page instead of using the Nest decorators (@Render())? I'm guessing it's just to not mix topics, but wanted to double check.

From a reader's/consumer's standpoint, I think the chapter length is pretty good, a bit long but Auth is not an easy topic so that's rather understandable, plus the multiple examples are really nice.

Hey @jmcdo29, as far as I can tell, with @Render() you can only pass a view name, but not locals that can be inserted into the template. I may not have that quite right -- let me know if you disagree -- but that was the reason if I recall correctly.

Thanks for the feedback!
