## What it is
redux-auth-wrapper is a React Higher Order Component (HOC) library for handling authentication and authorization in React + Redux applications. It decouples auth logic from components, integrating with React Router to protect routes and redirect unauthenticated or unauthorized users.

## Use cases
- protect react router routes so only logged-in users can access them
- redirect unauthenticated users to a login page and return them after login
- hide or block components based on user permissions or roles
- handle jwt-based authentication flows in a react redux app
- decouple authentication and authorization logic from ui components
- guard admin-only pages in a react + redux application

## When to choose
- you use React with Redux and React Router and want declarative route-level auth guards
- you want to keep auth/authorization logic out of your components via HOCs
- you need redirect handling for unauthenticated or unauthorized users
- you're on React >= 16.3 with react-router v4/v5 and connected-react-router

## When to avoid
- you don't use Redux or React Router in your app
- you're starting a new project and want a more actively maintained auth solution
- you need full auth backend features like token issuance or session management (this is client-side only)
- you're on React Router v6, which is not supported by this library
