Authentication with separate frontend and backend
Hi,
I've had some attempts at creating a car marketplace app using React as frontend framework and Express on backend, but I dont know how to approach authentication. I don't want to use JWT's like every tutorial does, it seems to be exaggeration for my case. I've also tried using Spring for backend, but it's too complex.
So, the question is: how to integrate frontend and backend session, so data is consistent(for example, when user changes name, the react app updates it).
A good tutorial or a github repo could help as well.
Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong category, but I there's no better one.
Thanks in advance!

so like you need realtime updates?
what I meant is that whenever my user makes a request, the server checks their permission level, credentials and stuff like that
If jwt isn't fitting your use case, what did you else look for?
you can use
expression-session packagethanks, that's what I was looking for.
