security

In this piece I will cover briefly how the Pedestal web-server operates, particularly the interceptor model and error handling; how to integrate a Pedestal web application with the buddy-auth library; and I will demonstrate with code how to secure access to Pedestal endpoints using the buddy-auth library.

A longer discussion of my publicly available GitHub repository containing a secured Pedestal API server and ClojureScript/React SPA that can use Google login to authenticate a user. I show how to set up HTTPS, integrate with Google and secure API endpoints in the context of a simple React application.
