  • I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository (for multi-repository projects)

Expected Behavior

@Manvityagi I guess the User api needs to be integrated. There is no user authentication as of now (while the UI is already ready for this). Since there's no user api hence we are not able to proceed with the (Bookmark/Save and share functionality).
I also checked that the frontend is in React, so probably you guys will be using RESTful APIs. So I wish to contribute to this project by implementing the following features -

  • Authentication using JWT
  • Routes protection middlewares to prevent unauthorized access of certain routes.

Expected end result :

  • User authentication
  • We can secure our APIs with this jwt middleware.
  • userId, admin access can be stored in jwt which can be decoded in frontend to use further.

Current Behavior

No such API exists as of now.
