title: Secure spring boot app without user log on
body: <p>I am creating a spring boot API and react front end in a project I am working on. There is no user logon on the front end, however, I would like to ensure my API endpoints are secure and only accessed by my react front end and I am struggling to come up with solutions.</p>
  <p>One possible solution I was thinking is to secure the API with JWT. Create a user table and create a user for the front end client. When the user visits the front end get a token and validate this token on all requests. I’m not sure if this is a valid approach or if there is another solution better fitted.</p>
  <p>The app will be hosted on Heroku, stack: spring boot, react and MySQL database. Anyone come across this before or any advice greatly appreciated.</p>
