Basic Web App Authentication with Harper

The Harper platform offers a range of features to enhance web applications, including caching and low-latency roundtrips, but this guide specifically focuses on setting up basic authentication using Harper. The process involves configuring the Harper server for authentication, creating a User table schema, and utilizing the Resource API for endpoints like sign up, sign in, sign out, and authentication checks. The setup requires disabling local authorization and enabling session-based authentication in the Harper configuration file to secure user data. The guide walks through cloning an example application, setting up roles, defining the User table schema, and integrating it with Harper's API resources to manage user sessions. It details the implementation of resources for signing up, signing in, signing out, and checking user authentication, and concludes with steps to protect routes within the application, ensuring authenticated access to certain areas while redirecting users appropriately based on their authentication status.
