Are there guides that show you how to implement custom authentication? This is all I got from the official documentation which is quite lacking

[fkrauthan]

I believe they want you to look at the provided auth providers to see how to implement a custom one?

Hi @Michael
I’ve published a repository in Github where I’m using JWT auth. Maybe this can help you.

@fkrauthan Yeah. That's what I did. Took me a couple of hours to figure out what was going. There's also the matter of unit testing. I really believe there should be a better way to demonstrate custom authentication without having to go through a couple of files on GitHub. What are the steps required for doing a PR to update the docs? Thinking of writing something.

@jorge.rego Thanks. Let me check it out.
