Managing redirects to a subdomain after authentication in a React/Rails application using React Router
I have a React single page application using React Router that hooks into a Rails 5 API. The Rails application uses devise_token_auth for authentication. I've successfully created an authentication process that stores the user state in a Redux store on the client side.

Is it possible to retrieve the user index with devise ?
Did you send an authorization header with your api call? The error is pretty clear — the request is unauthorized. Devise is expecting session cookies, but your api should use tokens. https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth

Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
I mentioned Identity in my first comment. I've never found it as simple as Devise though - especially in an API only setting.
With Devise there's a third-party Gem you can use called devise_token_auth which deals with everything automatically.

Working around un-maintained redux-token-auth for redux and react 17 upgrade
redux-token-auth is a great library. What it mainly does is it provides a plug and play auth implementation functionality for ruby on rails based APIs which implement popular devise_token_auth for auth handling.

Best project setup for Rails+React with "remember me" feature
I'd prefer to have a standalone rails API and a react client separately, but that's not mandatory. I discovered a gem called devise_token_auth and it didn't seem to have refresh tokens but it refreshed the tokens on every request anyway so I was pretty happy with it.

Best way for user auth with a Rails API?
ruby-jwt is fairly easy to use on it's own without Devise. You might try that first and only add Devise if needed.

Dynamic JWT authentication and secrets rotation in Rails Applications
Generally speaking, the larger the application, the more internal and external services it has to talk to. External services usually have their own way of authenticating and authorizing third party API calls. With internal systems however, organisations prefer to use JWT tokens because of their inherent flexibility and versatility. A sample JWT based handshake between 2 rails applications using ruby-jwt would look like this -
