Module 3 - adding authentication layer & adding .env reference

[joeyklee]

Hi @shiffman!

I made an updated version of the weather application for module 3 that makes use of the node environment variables using .env and making use of a config.js file to take care of things like PORT and USERNAME and PASSWORD for adding a simple authentication layer - similar to using an API key. We can use the version without authentication, but just wanted to bring this to your attention in case this makes sense for you.

Awesome! I'd love to cover this and I think it'll just come down to how much time there is. . .Since each module will be a series of 3-5 videos, I think adding an additional one to talk about authentication would be really great!

@shiffman - cool! I'm happy to clarify or shed light on anything that might be confusing. Thanks! 🙏
