User Registration and Authentication/Authorization with MEAN Stack

I need to register users with my AngularJS app. I would like hashing with salt to take place when storing the password into MongoDB. Then I would like the same user to authenticate and authorize for some of the actions he/she could take.

I come from Java/JavaEE background and have never done any registration/authentication/authorization work for a JavaScript app using MEAN stack.

Is there any reference/sample MEAN app I could refer to for understanding registration/authentication/authorization?

Should I be using Cookies or tokens for authentication?
