🚀 Quick Authentication Guide

1️⃣ Start Backend

cd your-backend
npm run start:dev

2️⃣ Run App

flutter run

3️⃣ Login

// In your widget
final success = await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).login(
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'Password123!',
);

4️⃣ Check Auth Status

final isAuth = ref.watch(isAuthenticatedProvider);
final user = ref.watch(currentUserProvider);

5️⃣ Use API (Auto-Authenticated!)

// Token automatically included in headers
final products = await getProducts();
final categories = await getCategories();

6️⃣ Logout

await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).logout();
