Wire Auth Pages to Backend API

Task: Wire Auth Pages to Backend API

Overview

Once login/signup UI and the API client exist, connect them to the MyFans NestJS backend (/auth/login, /auth/signup). This completes the first full-stack vertical slice.

---

Goals

• Submit login/signup forms to the real API via lib/api/client
• Store JWT access token on success (httpOnly cookie preferred; document tradeoffs if using localStorage)
• Surface API validation errors in the form UI
• Redirect to /dashboard (or redirect param) after successful login
• Handle network failures gracefully with toast notifications

---

Deliverables

• lib/api/auth.ts with login() and signup() functions
• Updated auth pages using the API module
• Token persistence helpers in lib/auth/session.ts
• .env.example updated with correct API URL

---

Acceptance Criteria

• Valid credentials from backend seed users can log in end-to-end
• Invalid credentials show an inline error message
• Token is available for subsequent authenticated API calls
• Signup redirects to dashboard or login after success
• CORS requirements documented if backend config is needed
