Thank you for this course. I’ve learned so much, but there’s still so much more to learn. Next time, I’ll start the series on Inertia.
By the way, out of curiosity, how did you discover AdonisJS? I hope you’ll continue teaching AdonisJS. I absolutely love this framework. 😍
What do you have planned for 2025? Complete e-commerce website with Stripe, all the way to deployment, would be amazing. 😊
Happy New Year 🥳

  Thank you for watching, gribbl! I'm ecstatic to hear you learned a lot from it and are loving AdonisJS!!
  I discovered AdonisJS back in the early AdonisJS 4 days. I was previously working with Laravel, but I work primarily with JavaScript and found AdonisJS searching for a JavaScript alternative to Laravel. 😊
  I've had a lot of requests for some API content, so we'll be doing a series on adding an API to the PlotMyCourse application we're currently making in the Building with AdonisJS & Inertia series. On top of that, we'll also be doing a todo series, showing how to make a todo app in a bunch of different ways with AdonisJS. I have some other ideas on our schedule page, but those are more open to changes before we get to them. I like the idea of an e-commerce site, I'll add that to the ideas, thank you for the suggestion!! 😊
  Happy New Year to you as well!! 🎉

    I hadn’t seen the schedule page. Nice !
    The idea of an API is great. I have trouble understanding how an API and a frontend app communicate with each other, especially how to properly handle authentication. 😆

      Yeah, those seem to be the areas most struggle with on APIs 😊. Using the PlotMyCourse application also gives us a cool opportunity to cover authentication with a non-user entity.

Thank you, Tom Gobich. Absolutely brilliant course! I spent two weeks watching all your videos, and even though I relied on a translator, your clear explanations kept everything crystal clear. I’m confident this is a fantastic starting point for understanding and using AdonisJS. Thanks again!

Tom Gobich，Is the auth-token generated by default in AdonisJS a JWT token? If not, what should the frontend use to parse it? I tried parsing it with jwt-decode。
```
const authConfig = defineConfig({
  default: 'api',
  guards: {
    api: tokensGuard({
      provider: tokensUserProvider({
        tokens: 'accessTokens',
        model: () => import('#models/user'),
      }),
    }),
  },
})
```

  I want to use a JWT token because I'm considering that the frontend might need to check the token's expiration time to proactively refresh-token. I'm not sure which approach is better. I'd love to hear your opinion.

    AdonisJS uses Opaque Access Tokens (OAT), sometimes referred to as a by-reference token. Unlike JWTs, with opaque tokens the source of truth is the database and the only thing meant to read the token is the issuing server.
    Since the source of truth is the database, in order for a token to be verified it must go through the server via an introspection endpoint. This also means tokens can be readily revoked at any time. This makes opaque tokens more secure than JWTs, as it follows the never trust, always verified methodology. Since the token can be revoked at any time and doesn't contain any user information they can have a longer expiry than JWT access tokens. However, since it needs to verify the token with the server, it can be less scalable at high user levels.
    Here's more on the matter from AdonisJS' creator.
    That said, if you would like to use JWTs with AdonisJS, you can give MaximeMRF's JWT package a go! That should get you all set up!
