Congrats, you’ve built a robust client authentication feature! This video provides suggestions on what to do next using your React application and Express REST API.
Nice work successfully implementing
user authentication in React App
0:00
using basic authentication and
React Router.
0:04
You can download and
view the source code for
0:06
the completed app in the project
files with this course.
0:08
Now that you've built a robust client
authentication feature, here are a few
0:11
suggestions on what you can do next using
your React App and Express REST API.
0:15
You can practice creating other private or
0:20
protected routes that
require user authentication.
0:22
For example, a user profile,
and settings route.
0:25
Expand the Express API by configuring
new routes that renders specific content
0:28
to the user, like profile and
settings information, or
0:32
customize the app in any way you'd like,
make it your own.
0:36
You could connect to a third party
external API, like Google Maps, or
0:39
a weather API.
0:43
Connect the app to a database,
using the Sequelize ORM, for example.
0:45
That way, users can interact with
the database by retrieving custom
0:49
content from a route, as well as add,
update, and delete content.
0:52
Or consider updating the front end with
your own custom styles and layout,
0:56
including making the app mobile friendly
with added accessibility support.
1:00
And be sure to share what you create
with the Treehouse community.
