bknd-session-handling

Manage JWT sessions in a Bknd frontend by instantiating the BKND API with a storage option like localStorage, logging in to create a session, and calling api.auth.me() to verify and automatically refresh the token state.

The best way to automatically renew authentication tokens in Bknd apps is using built-in JWT lifecycle management, which handles token persistence and auto-renews user sessions based on activity while protecting sensitive API endpoints.

Yes, Bknd session handling supports httpOnly cookies for secure token transport, alongside header-based tokens for manual control, providing flexibility for stateless JWTs across frontend and API routes.

Validate user authentication state on the server side with Bknd by using integrated server-side session validation, which performs consistent authentication checks in API routes and server endpoints via bknd.auth APIs.

Yes, you can use JWT-based session management for both frontend and API routes in Bknd, covering token persistence, auto-renewal, authentication state checks, and safe expiration handling across your application.

When using stateless JWTs for Bknd session management, you must implement safe expiration handling and choose appropriate transport methods like httpOnly cookies or headers to ensure secure token persistence and prevent unauthorized access.
