📜 Session Management

The u-auth library handles session management by automatically storing and retrieving authentication tokens using HTTP-only cookies for better security.

Authentication tokens are stored in cookies, with the HttpOnly flag to prevent JavaScript access.

The useAuth hook allows easy access to session data in any component.

🔐 Authentication Methods

Token-Based Authentication

Use JWT tokens for stateless authentication. The library provides helpers to manage tokens and sessions using cookies.

OTP-Based Authentication

You can implement OTP-based authentication by using the OTPProvider, OTPInput and useOTP hook. This is ideal for scenarios where you want to verify users via an OTP sent to their email or phone.
