title: Angular and CouchDB Authentication
body: <p>I am new to both angularJs and CouchDB, the question I have is about user authentication. Allowing users to login and logout is the idea. I have come from a LAMP background and understand how to do this using PHP and MySQL. Search for rows in the database and if exist create a session/cookie. I do not understand how to achieve the same think with AngularJS and CouchDB.</p>
  
  <p>Most of the tutorials I have come across use node as well and this is not an option for me. I was told by a lecture of mine that I should place each new user in the _user of the couchDB but do not understand what to do once this is done. I am not asking for anyone to do my work, would just like a push in the correct direction. Either the process and methods that I need to go through or a tutorial/explanation.</p>
