To implement JWT authentication in your Akita frontend, you need to follow these steps: 1. Set up your backend to issue JWTs. 2. Store the JWT in local storage or a cookie. 3. Attach the JWT to your HTTP requests in the Authorization header. 4. Handle token expiration and refresh tokens if necessary.

What libraries can I use to manage JWT in my Akita application?

You can use libraries like jsonwebtoken for encoding and decoding JWTs, and axios for making HTTP requests with the token included.
