Hey, Bryan here. I share videos that help web developers up their development skills!
Today I'll be sharing the ninth part for setting up a session based authentication system that I will help you implement using React, Redux, and Django with the Django Rest Framework. I will also be using Bootstrap for the styling in the application.
This is going to be a session based authentication system with some awesome features:
1. You will see how to implement session authentication in a Django & React app.
2. You will learn about what CSRF is and how we protect against it.
3. You will learn how to use a CSRF Token to protect your login and sign up pages.
4. You will learn how to use a CSRF Token to protect your authenticated API requests.
5. You will learn how to attach a profile to your user which you will be able to update.
6. You will learn how to add functionality for deleting a user through the user dashboard.
In this part, I will be setting up the functionality for checking whether a user is authenticated, that way the user stays logged in on page refreshes, and I will be implementing functionality for loading a user's profile into the frontend react app.
