Conclusion
Oh Yeah! Today we’ve learned many things about Spring Security and JWT Token based Authentication in a Spring Boot MongoDB login & registration example (with Authorization).
This app can be used as a back-end that works well with these front-end applications (I’ve tested all of them):
- Angular 8 JWT Authentication with HttpInterceptor and Router
- Vue.js JWT Authentication with Vuex and Vue Router
- React JWT Authentication (without Redux) example
