session is stored in cookie
@clever-vr-95479 /chat and /profile are 2 private routes so in private route code I dont have to hit any /auth endpoint instead of that I will add auth middleware to both of these route and if not authneticated then send isLoggedIn -> false and if authenticated then send isLoggedIn true with the actual response is that correct ? in this way we can avoid using of any additional endpoint to check if user is logged in or not and both chat and profile component in react would be connected to redux store which holds isLoggedIn variable is this correct?
see code here: https://pastebin.com/sdLuPmp3 of private route
