Can I use this skill with standard REST APIs?

Absolutely. While it highlights the SDK, it also provides the raw curl commands and endpoint specifications for developers who prefer direct REST API interaction.

What is the primary benefit of the Bknd Login Flow skill?

It provides ready-to-use patterns for integrating Bknd's authentication system into any application, significantly reducing the time spent on boilerplate for login, logout, and session checks.

How does this skill handle security best practices?

It provides implementation details for Cookie-based authentication with HttpOnly settings, which helps protect applications against XSS attacks.

Does this skill support React applications?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for the @bknd/react library, including the useAuth hook and BkndProvider for state management.

Does it include error handling for failed logins?

Yes, it maps specific HTTP status codes (400, 401, 403, 409) to user-friendly error messages and logic for different authentication failures.

API Development

Implements full-stack authentication workflows for Bknd applications, including login, logout, and session management.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance and boilerplate for implementing secure user authentication in applications built with Bknd.io. It covers multiple implementation strategies, including the native TypeScript SDK, specialized React hooks via @bknd/react, and direct REST API interactions. Developers can utilize this skill to quickly set up password-based or OAuth login flows, manage session persistence through headers or HttpOnly cookies, and implement robust error handling for common authentication scenarios like invalid credentials or account conflicts.

Key Features

Comprehensive REST API endpoint reference for manual authentication requests
React integration patterns using BkndProvider and the useAuth hook
1 GitHub stars
Standardized SDK implementation for password-based login, logout, and session checking
Detailed error handling mapping for 401, 403, and 409 status codes
Support for both Header-based and secure Cookie-based token transport

Use Cases

Migrating legacy authentication flows to the Bknd.io backend ecosystem
Creating protected frontend routes and navigation guards based on auth status
Building custom React login forms with automatic user state synchronization
