How do I implement JWT authentication in my React Native app?

To implement JWT authentication in your React Native app, you can follow these steps: 1. Set up a backend server to issue JWTs. 2. Use a library like Axios to make API calls. 3. Store the JWT in AsyncStorage after login. 4. Include the JWT in the Authorization header for subsequent requests.

What library should I use to handle JWTs?

You can use libraries like jsonwebtoken for encoding and decoding JWTs on the server side, and @react-native-async-storage/async-storage to store the token on the client side.

How do I refresh the JWT when it expires?

You can implement a refresh token mechanism. When the JWT expires, use a refresh token to request a new JWT from your server without requiring the user to log in again.

Can I use JWT with Firebase in React Native?

Yes, you can use JWT with Firebase. Firebase Authentication can issue JWTs, and you can use them to authenticate requests to your backend.
