Considerations for your backend with CORS

If the backend is about to run on a different host/port than the frontend, make sure to handle OPTIONS too and return correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Headers (e.g. Content-Type).

Authentication Header:

Authorization: Token jwt.token.here

JSON Objects returned by API:

Make sure the right content type like Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 is correctly returned.

Users (for authentication)

{
  "user": {
    "email": "jake@jake.jake",
    "token": "jwt.token.here",
    "username": "jake",
    "bio": "I work at statefarm",
