React Authentication

Authentication in React applications typically involves managing user login state and controlling access to specific parts of the application.

Common Approaches

Token-based authentication using JWTs, combined with secure storage and API calls, is a widely used pattern in React applications.

Protected Routes

Protected routes check authentication state before rendering a page, redirecting unauthenticated users to a login screen when necessary.

Managing Auth State

Authentication state is often managed using Context API or a state management library, making user status available across the app.
