Overview

AuthUtils is a utility module that manages user authentication state by reading and writing user data, tokens, permissions, and features to localStorage and cookies.

Description

This module provides functions to get, update, and remove the current user from localStorage, clear all browser cookies, extract a normalized user object from a payload, and synchronize Redux state with localStorage upon authentication. It handles serialization/deserialization of user objects and manages multiple localStorage keys including isAuthenticated, isGlobal, isSSO, user, permissions, and features.

Usage

Use AuthUtils whenever you need to persist or retrieve authentication state on the client side, such as after login, logout, or when refreshing user session data. It is typically consumed by Redux reducers and authentication-related components.
