dashboard-api-authentication

What problem does it solve?

Ensures that all API calls made from the dashboard frontend are properly authenticated, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring data security.

Core Features & Use Cases

• JWT Token Handling: Manages the secure storage and transmission of JWT tokens for API authentication.
• apiRequest Helper: Provides a standardized, secure method for making authenticated HTTP requests.
• 401 Error Handling: Automatically detects and handles authentication expiry by clearing tokens and reloading the page.
• Use Case: When a user logs into the dashboard, their session is maintained via JWT. This skill ensures that every subsequent request to fetch user data, update settings, or perform actions includes the necessary token, and gracefully handles cases where the token becomes invalid.
