Replace userdb by below code in function isAuthenticated

function isAuthenticated({email, password}){
  return JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./users.json', 'UTF-8')).users.findIndex(user => user.email === email && user.password === password) !== -1
}

when user have successful created, userdb didn't got refresh.

I can confirm the same behavior. User gets registered. I can register duplicates over and over again:

File: newuser.json

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password":"G4nd4lfth3Gr3y"
}

Go ahead register the same user over and over again:

curl -X POST -d "@newuser.json" "http://127.0.0.1:8000/auth/register"                                                             =

curl -X POST -d "@newuser.json" "http://127.0.0.1:8000/auth/register"
