Features

• User authentication using JWT.
• Utilize ReduxToolkit for global state management.
• Store favorite videos in database (Mongodb atlas).

Challenges

• Implementing JWT authenticate in backend requires a lot of logical thinking, like when token should be issued? or how to get refresh token from client side?.
• I gained a solid overall understanding of how backend server work, which surely expands and deepens my understanding of front-end development.
• I also learned a lot about the relationship between data fetching from a database and client-side state management.
