I am creating a new SPA with a REST API and for the backend I am using Rails with devise_token_auth. I am new to token authentication and while searching I am seeing a lot of libraries for frontend libraries that support JWT but I can't tell if this is compatible with devise_token_auth.
Is JWT the standard for web tokens and is it what devise_token_auth uses?
No, devise_token_auth gem doesn't use JWT.
It authenticates a user by validating the
client-id, access-token & UIDand processes the request. All these keys are received during a successful login.
