Blog access via API
We are using Rest-Client gem to render the Blogs from API, to get this working we have created a user controller which connects to Blogs API CRUD, now we are able to get user token and use that on subsequent calls however I am not sure how to save this token on client side.
Hey Anand,
Generally people store the JWTs client side in LocalStorage. It's like a local database stored in the browser so you can just stash it there and retrieve it later. It functions similar to cookies but you have to manually save it yourself rather than the browser taking care of cookie storage automatically for ya.
