Description:

This webcast offers a case study on how to handle user authentication within Angular.JS. and will cover multiple aspects of the authentication flow, including:

• Request/response interceptors to detect authentication failures at any point within the session
• Local session storage on (certain) user data
• Directive/Factory configuration

These steps will allow you to build a fully modular user authentication system, including logging in, limiting access for unauthorized users, and updating user profiles in a fast, efficient manner while still maintaining security and preventing unauthorized data from being accessed by any users.
