Node.js todo userauth

This is an API that creates, reads, updates, and destroys todos sent from my angular front-end app. This API is organized in four main files, Routes: has the endpoints for the angular front-end to send data to, Models: to validate the todo data, Maps: to build a data store, and Data: to write the data to file to help us persist the data. Basic User authentication using jwt.

Create a file named config.json. This will be where you write the jwt secret. This file is in the gitignore to avoid pushing the secret public to github.
