# Clone Backend (Laravel)
git clone https://github.com/your-username/laravel-api.git

# Clone Frontend (React)
git clone https://github.com/your-username/react-frontend.git

---

2. Backend Setup (Laravel)

composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan passport:install
php artisan serve

---

3. Frontend Setup (React.js)

Authentication Flow

• Backend uses Laravel Passport to issue access tokens
• Frontend stores access tokens securely (e.g., in localStorage or HttpOnly cookies)
• Protected routes and API calls require valid token
• Users can register, login, logout, and access secured API endpoints
