JWT Auth Boilerplate with React & Redux-Saga

JSON Web Token authentication boilerplate built on the MERN stack

Get Started:

• Clone this repo, make sure to npm install in both the server and client.
  git clone git@github.com:scott-ammon/jwt-auth-boilerplate.git <directory-name>
• Create a .env file in the project directory with a JWT_SECRET=<YOUR SECRET>
• Add a PORT=<WHATEVER PORT YOU WANT> to the .env. Alternatively, 3001 will be used.
• Start the mongo server (typically mongod from your shell if you've set up the alias).
• Create a db called jwtAuth. If you have the alias set up you can use mongo to start the MongoDB CLI in a new shell, and type use jwtAuth to create the db. Alternatively, rename the db in the server-side index.js in the mongoose.connect() function.
• npm run build to run react-scripts to build your React app
• Navigate back up to the project level directory and npm start

This auth flow was created with:

• Mongoose (MongoDB)
• Express
• React
• Redux
• Redux-saga
• Node
