Overview of this book

Getting started with full stack development can be daunting. Even developers who are familiar with the best tools, such as Spring Boot and React, can struggle to nail the basics, let alone master the more advanced elements. If you’re one of these developers, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need! This updated edition of the Full Stack Development with Spring Boot 2 and React book will take you from novice to proficient in this expansive domain. Taking a practical approach, this book will first walk you through the latest Spring Boot features for creating a robust backend, covering everything from setting up the environment and dependency injection to security and testing. Once this has been covered, you’ll advance to React frontend programming. If you’ve ever wondered about custom Hooks, third-party components, and MUI, this book will demystify all that and much more. You’ll explore everything that goes into developing, testing, securing, and deploying your applications using all the latest tools from Spring Boot, React, and other cutting-edge technologies. By the end of this book, you'll not only have learned the theory of building modern full stack applications but also have developed valuable skills that add value in any setting.

Securing your backend using a JWT

In the previous section, we covered how to use basic authentication with a RESTful web service. This method cannot be used when we develop our own frontend with React, so we are going to use JWT authentication instead. A JWT is a compact way to implement authentication in modern web applications. A JWT is really small in size and can therefore be sent in the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), in the POST parameter, or inside the header. It also contains all the necessary information pertaining to the user.

A JWT contains three different parts, separated by dots: xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz. These parts are broken up as follows:

  • The first part (xxxxx) is the header that defines the type of the token and the hashing algorithm.
  • The second part (yyyyy) is the payload that, typically, in the case of authentication, contains user information.
  • The third part (zzzzz) is the signature that is used to verify that the token hasn't been changed along...
