react-auth-context-api 🔥

This demonstrates authentication and protected routing in a modern React application using Context API, useReducer, and React Router. It also introduces a custom useLocalStorage hook to persist user login across page reloads.

🔐 Authentication Flow

1. Login

• User credentials are mocked for simplicity.
• On login, user data is saved to:
  • React Context (for app-wide access)
  • localStorage (for persistence on refresh)

2. Profile (Protected Route)

• Only accessible when a user is authenticated.
• Redirects to /login if user is not logged in.

💡 Key Concepts Covered

Feature	Description
Context API	Central store for user & auth state
useReducer	Used for scalable auth state management
localStorage	Data persists even after refresh
useLocalStorage	Custom reusable hook for local storage get/set/remove
React Router	Dynamic routing with protected routes
