## What it is
A sample project demonstrating a client-side JWT authentication flow using React, Redux, React-Router, and a higher-order component to protect views. It includes a demo server with hard-coded endpoints purely for illustration.

## Use cases
- learn how to implement JWT auth in a React Redux app
- example of protecting routes with a higher-order component
- understand login flow with redux action creators
- see how to redirect unauthenticated users to login
- reference for decoding JWT payload into redux state
- starter example for react-router authentication redirects

## When to choose
- you want a conceptual walkthrough of JWT auth with React and Redux
- you are learning how higher-order components can guard protected views
- you need a simple reference for wiring login actions to redux state

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready or maintained authentication solution
- you want current best practices with modern React (hooks, context)
- you need a secure backend server implementation
- you expect active maintenance or accepted contributions

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
