Building a Full-Stack JWT Auth App with Laravel and React

I recently put together a boilerplate for full-stack JWT authentication using Laravel for the backend and React for the frontend. It’s designed to provide a clean starting point for projects that need secure user authentication.

What’s Inside

Laravel Backend

  • Laravel Framework: Handles API endpoints and business logic.
  • Tymon JWT Package: Implements JWT-based API authentication.
  • MySQL Database: Structured to support user authentication workflows.

React Frontend

  • React JS: Builds the user interface.
  • React Router: Manages navigation and routing.
  • Bootstrap: Provides styling and responsive design.

Getting Started

  1. Clone the Repository:

    git clone https://github.com/badass-commits/react-laravel-jwt-auth.git
cd react-laravel-jwt-auth
  2. Set Up the Backend:
    • Navigate to the backend directory.

    • Install dependencies:

      composer install
    • Configure your .env file with database credentials.

    • Run migrations:

      php artisan migrate

    • Generate JWT secret:

      php artisan jwt:secret

    • Start the server:

      php artisan serve
  3. Set Up the Frontend:
    • Navigate to the frontend directory.

    • Install dependencies:

      npm install

    • Start the development server:

      npm start
