I don't think that there is any other way than calling the authentication with a route.

Effectively you are handling APIs and your frontend will execute actions only via the APIs routes. That's the only way to communicate between the backend and the frontend.

@hasnainali9 No, because Passport authenticates HTTP requests, not web sockets.
