Spring Security Login Page with React

The main concept involves to creating the React frontend that can be communicated with a Spring Boot backend secured with Spring Security. The react frontend will have a login page where users can input their credentials, and upon submission, these credentials will be sent to the backend for authentication. If the credentials are valid, the backend will generate a token (JWT) and send it back to the frontend. This token will be stored on the frontend side for subsequent requests to protected resources.
