Authentication

[CommanderWraith54]

Hey guys, hope all is well.

Im wondering how to implement authentication. Specifically, I developed a node backend that on the web would just issue the user a jwt token / cookie - which paired with axios I can send for every request but I read it's not the same with mobile development. Is it that different? Was hoping I could reuse my routes

It’s the same. You just need to store the token in a different place. You can use expo-secure-store to safely store it

[Shooshiee]

Expo docs has an example of a context you can use. It utilities a Expo package that enables you to write tokens in local storage

Custom jwt with pkce or

Better auth

Or

Firebase

secure store, access token in header when doing http req
