Rails API using Github OAuth authentication









up vote

I'd like to build an app with a server-side Rails 5 API serving JSON data, and a React or other JS front-end, but I would like users to authenticate with their github accounts.



So when the app starts the user would log in with github and then receive a JWT token to use to interact with the Rails API.



Where are some resources I could use to get started here?
