Full JWT Auth Flow for React Native and FastAPI
A developer shares a production-ready JWT authentication flow for React Native apps using FastAPI backend. The system issues short-lived access tokens and longer refresh tokens, stores them in platform keychains via expo-secure-store, and automatically refreshes tokens on 401 responses. The tutorial covers password hashing with bcrypt and token type claims to prevent refresh token reuse as access tokens.
