Adding Authentication in Angular
In the previous chapter, we completed the CRUD features of our Angular application using the building blocks of NgRx. We also learned the step-by-step process of writing the actions, reducers, and effects in our application that will be used to modify the value of states. We also learned the difference between using and not using effects in the application. Effects are essential for us to communicate with the external APIs that allow the database changes to be synced in the NgRx store.
In this chapter, we will learn how to add authentication in our Angular application; we will implement a login page that will provide a valid JWT, protect routes, and apply API authentication with the use of NgRx.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Adding user authentication
- Protecting routes
- Calling an API
