Description
In this tutorial, we finish our Phoenix GraphQL endpoint by implementing Authentication by way of Guardian and Json Web Tokens (JWT). We use a context plug to verify that each request has a JWT attached to it before we issue a response with the appropriate information to the user. We also take advantage of the GraphQL type system to create a virtual type that allows us to symbolically link the user's session to the actual data-layer of the application.

Sorry, I didn't see the formatting when I made the post last night. How am I supposed to know that the rules have changed If I can not see the changes? I've posted a contribution almost every single day for the past two weeks (with no problems); how am I supposed to know that the rules have changed if everything looks exactly as it has for those past 14-15 contributions?
Haven't made it through the entire video but sounds very professional so far.
I try to keep things as professional as possible when making my videos. Though in the past I did try to add humor to my videos since the material can be dry, it just never worked out.
Hey @tensor I am @utopian-io. I have just upvoted you!
