Basic Authentication API

Here's a basic API for user authentication using Node JS, Express JS, Passport JS and Typescript, complete with tests.

It uses an email and password for signup and subsequent logins, with JWT authentication for subsequent requests. Blacklisted refresh tokens are stored in the user model, and access tokens only last for 10 mins, although the token validity could be configured.
