I'd also written an article on token authentication for django: https://www.spapas.net/2021/08/25/django-token-rest-auth/ using the REST Framework's TokenAuthentication.

This is simplest thing for most cases.

The session authentication that is proposed in the article is also great but has two problems:

* It will be hacky to implement for mobile apps (it should be possible but would not be something I'd like to do, I had tried in the past and remember that I needed to jump to a lot of hoops to "pick" that session cookie)

* The cookies can't be shared between different domains (cookies be shared the same domain or between a parent and child domain, i.e api.example.com can set/get cookies from .example.com).

So you can use the SessionAuthnentication if your frontend and backend share their domain and you know that your API won't ever be used for mobiles apps. On all other cases use TokenAuthentication.

I don't have experience with JWT Authentication, however I know it can be done and is used be various apps f.e baserow: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/blob/develop/backend/src/...

Feel free to dig into https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow repository, e.g. https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/blob/develop/backend/Dockerfile... There are docker compose files too.

Great idea! I've created an issue for it on the backlog https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/issues/1399.

Here is the full scoop on all new things: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/releases/1.13.1.

Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.

https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

As of April 2024, Strapi's GitHub repository has garnered 59.7k stars and 7.5k forks, showcasing its widespread adoption. The project has also secured a substantial $45+ million in funding, cementing its position as a prominent player in the headless CMS space.

const pages = await client.GET("/pages", { params: { query: { filters: { // @ts-ignore - openapi generated from strapi results in Record // https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/19644 path: { $eq: path, }, }, // @ts-ignore populate: { blocks: { populate: "*" }, }, }, }, });

On a side note. Where do all these endpoints come from? Strapi is open source. We can read the source code. All these endpoint come from the Users and permissions plugin. So, if we go to Strapi on github and browse around the files a bit eventually you will find the auth.js file that contains all of the routes. You can also find the Strapi controllers in there if you're interested.
