Introduction

I would like to start every project knowing user management is taken care of so I can focus on making a great app. I want a service that will scale and not require extra back-end management / development. I want to be able to customize the look for new apps and control the state a flow

aws-cognito-react primary goal is to provide user management services for a web App in a scalable serverless way.

AWS Cognito Setup

Once your AWS Cognito account is setup update the config file in src/components/Auth/Auth.js

Description

My original idea was to provide user management as a package but it became clear adding user management to an existing project is tricky. If you are in the position where you need to retro fit user management into an existing project then this project will help but the cleanest path is to start with this project as a boilerplate. The project has been setup using create react app which is currently the most robust way to setup a react project.

The stack has 3 layers that help provide an opportunity to extend and even replace sections of the stack.
