In this post, you will get the source code (download the source code) of the Spring boot React basic authentication example.
This source code example shows you how to set up Spring Security with Basic authentication with a full-stack application using React as Frontend framework and Spring Boot as the backend REST API.
Download the source code of this example from the GitHub repository at https://github.com/RameshMF/spring-boot-react-fullstack-examples/tree/master/spring-boot-react-basic-auth-login-logout

The following screenshot shows the application demo:
We would request the user for authentication credentials on the login page.
User would be able to logout by clicking the logout button.
Understanding Full Stack Architecture
Following Screenshot shows the architecture of the application we would create:
