[Best Practice] Where should Authentication Strategies go?

[sokulski]

When creating a custom Authentication Strategy, where is the best place to to put those?

The Anonymous authentication section of the docs demonstrates writing the Class right inside authentication.js, though I imagine that's only recommended for simple strategies like that one.

I like moving authentication under the services directory and grouping things there.

.
├── app.ts
└── services/
    └── authentication/
        ├── hooks/
        │   └── special-auth-hook.ts
        ├── strategies/
        │   ├── anonymous-strategy.ts
        │   └── custom-strategy.ts
        └── authentication.ts

Thank you very much. That's a very clean and intuitive way to organize strategies and hooks.

And apologies for starting out in an issue. Thanks to @daffl for cleaning up after me.

That's ok, it's easy to move and I still have to highlight the new discussions better everywhere 😄
