Digest and Test

Let’s refresh our memory by summarizing the main ideas discussed in this chapter:

• We dove deeper into more concepts, such as authentication in a React application. We implemented a clean logic for requests on the Django API with access tokens and also implemented the refresh logic if the access token has expired.

• We also had the chance to use more of the Bootstrap components to not only style login and registration forms but also to create login and register pages.

• Finally, we implemented a custom React Hook to handle everything concerning authentication on the frontend, with methods for registration and login, some utilities to retrieve tokens from localStorage , and setting tokens and user data in localStorage. Hook helped us do some refactoring in the code base according to the DRY principle.
