Authentication in Angular with NGRX

Want to learn how to build this project?

Check out the blog post.

Want to use this project?

1. Fork/Clone
2. Install dependencies - npm install
3. Run the development server - ng serve

You will need to also spin up a back-end with the following routes:

URL	HTTP Verb	Action
http://localhost:1337/register	POST	Register a new user
http://localhost:1337/login	POST	Log a user in
http://localhost:1337/status	GET	Get user status

The blog post uses a fake back-end that generates a dummy token to test out the functionality on the front-end. If you'd like to use it, clone down the repo in a new terminal window, install the dependencies, and fire up the app:

$ git clone https://github.com/testdrivenio/fake-token-api
$ cd fake-token-api
$ npm install
$ npm start

Just keep in mind that the back-end does not create a real JSON Web Token (JWT). Feel free to swap it out for a working back-end or use the final application from the Token-Based Authentication with Node blog post, if you'd like.
