How does it handle token expiration?

The skill includes logic for checking token expiration and implementing automatic silent token refresh using RxJS and HTTP interceptors.

Are the route guards compatible with modern Angular?

Yes, the patterns focus on functional route guards (CanActivateFn), which are the standard in modern Angular (v15+) versions.

What storage methods are covered for auth tokens?

It covers LocalStorage, In-Memory storage, and best practices for server-side HttpOnly cookies to help you choose the right balance of convenience and security.

Does this skill support social logins?

Yes, it provides detailed implementation patterns for Google and GitHub OAuth2 social login flows within Angular applications.

Security & Testing

Provides comprehensive implementation patterns and best practices for securing Angular applications using JWT, OAuth2, and advanced session management.

About

This skill serves as a specialized guide for developers to implement robust authentication and authorization within Angular environments. It covers the entire security lifecycle, including secure JWT implementation, OAuth2 social login flows for providers like Google and GitHub, token refresh strategies, and functional route guards. By providing ready-to-use boilerplate for HTTP interceptors and encrypted storage, it helps developers prevent common security vulnerabilities while maintaining a clean, scalable application architecture.
