How do I implement API authentication in a Svelte app?

To implement API authentication in a Svelte app, you can use libraries like Axios for making requests and JWT for token management.

Can you explain how to use JWT for authentication?

Sure! JWT, or JSON Web Tokens, are used to securely transmit information between parties. You can generate a token on the server after user login and send it to the client.

How do I store the JWT on the client side?

You can store the JWT in localStorage or sessionStorage. Just remember to handle it securely to prevent XSS attacks.

What about refreshing the token?

For refreshing the token, you can implement a refresh token mechanism where the client requests a new token using a valid refresh token before the old one expires.
