Implement JWT Authentication with Axios Interceptors and Protected Routes

[AJMALAJU3]

Issue: Authorization Implementation with JWT, Axios Interceptors, and Protected Routes

Description

• JWT Token Handling: Secure storage and retrieval of access and refresh tokens.
• Axios Interceptors: Automatically attaching tokens to API requests and handling token expiration.
• Protected Routes: Restricting access to specific pages based on authentication status.

Proposed Solution

1. JWT Authentication Handling

   • Store tokens securely
   • Implement token refresh logic when access tokens expire.

2. Axios Interceptors

   • Attach authorization headers automatically to requests.
   • Handle expired tokens by refreshing or logging the user out.

3. Protected Routes

   • Create a Higher-Order Component (HOC) or custom hook to guard routes.
   • Redirect unauthenticated users to the login page.
