Cleaning up authentication requirements

In this section, we are going to clean up our Rust server in terms of authentication before we start configuring our frontend to handle these authentication processes. To keep the flow of the chapter engaging, we have not regularly carried out “housekeeping.” Now, we are going to update our to_do views. We can start by updating the create view with authentication requirements. To do so, the function signature of our create view in the src/views/to_do/create.rs file should look like the following:

. . .

use crate::database::DB
pub async fn create(token: JwToken,
                    req: HttpRequest, db: DB) -> HttpResponse {
