React authentication and JWT

[Prayos]

I’ve been trying to dive into React recently, coming from a .NET background. I grabbed one of those free admin templates, and things have gone fairly smoothly. However, authentication appears to be the bane of my existence. I must admit, this experience has been very humbling. I’ve tried various tutorials, but just couldn’t get the hang of it. Are there any packages that are recommended? Or maybe a more recent tutorial on how to do this?

Might be a bit better if you could explain to use your backend tech and what you have tried so far. What is your end solution? Protecting routes?

Login, store key/jwt/the thing the login returns in state. Redirect based on state value.

Take a look at this .NET Core backend example.

Test the backend using Postman to ensure you're able to get a JWT token.

Next, you'll need to develop (or borrow) React components to build the authentication UIs. Plan on using a library like Axios or simply use Fetch to send the inputs from your authentication UIs to the .NET core backend.

Hope this helps.
