    I built a Rails authenticated API for my react native app using api_guard (https://github.com/Gokul595/api_guard) and it works great. I evaluated a lot of different solutions (knock, devise, jwt_sessions, etc.) and api_guard has the best features out of the box for JWT and easy to set up. If you are thinking about option 2, look into api_guard.

    https://github.com/Gokul595/api_guard is a nice little gem for API auth using JWTs. Most of it is honestly not that hard to implement yourself though
