Update: Part 9 is out!
About Me: I've been a professional web developer for just over 10 years now. I'm currently the lead web development instructor at Better Coding Academy, and as part of what I do, I post videos on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/BetterCodingAcademy.
(Subscribe for awesome web development content!)
This is part 8 in a full tutorial on how to set up a GraphQL Microservices-powered React app. (Here's part 7!)
In this video, I fully implemented authentication in the frontend React app, hooking it up to the microservice architecture via the API Gateway.
I hope you enjoy!
Happy coding!

This set of videos has been awesome Lucas - thanks! You not a fan of TypeScript?
I've used TypeScript (and Flow) in both professional and personal contexts. I definitely think TypeScript is better designed and more feature-rich than Flow at the moment, but as to whether or not it's a waste of time, I'm still quite on the fence.
Great Job Lucas, I love your video sets.
Could you show us how to control VSCode (extensions, keymaps, etc..) end of the course.
Sounds good!
The vscode shortcut is a great suggestion. I see you use very little in terms of autocompletes and linting etc - have you found it better to keep things quite "raw" in terms of becoming a better coder?
I don't like autocomplete because I find that it's too inconsistent, and oftentimes also too slow. It simply is faster and more consistent for me to just type it out.
I do use linting; however, given the scope of this project, I didn't want to introduce too much additional complexity. I use ESLint daily within professional projects, and I definitely consider it to be important.
