## 🚀 Quick Start (3 Steps)

### Step 1: Add to Page Head
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/app.css">
<script src="/auth.js"></script>
```

### Step 2: Add to Page Body (end)
```html
<script src="/components/nav.js"></script>
<script src="/components/footer.js"></script>
```

### Step 3: Protect the Page
```html
<script>
  requireAuth(); // Redirects to login if not authenticated
</script>
```

**That's it!** Navigation and footer auto-inject. You're ready to build.

  </main>

  <script src="/components/nav.js"></script>
  <script src="/components/footer.js"></script>
  <script>
    // Protect this page
    requireAuth();

    // Your dashboard logic
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
      const user = getUserInfo();
      console.log('Logged in as:', user.email);

      // Fetch data with auth

    });
  </script>
</body>

### Login Page Integration
```javascript
async function handleLogin(email, password) {
  const response = await fetch('/api/login', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  if (data.token) {
    setToken(data.token);  // Store JWT
    window.location.href = '/dashboard.html';  // Redirect
  }
}
```

### Protected API Call
```javascript
// Before: fetch('/api/tenders')
// After: use fetchWithAuth
const response = await fetchWithAuth('/api/tenders');
const tenders = await response.json();
// Automatically includes: Authorization: Bearer {token}
```
