Hello guys! Im creating a social media using next js, ive made the api aswell and it has this endpoint for deleting posts: DELETE http://localhost:3000/api/posts/123, where the number 123 is the post id, is there anyway i could show a delete button that only shows on posts posted by the user logged in, im using a bearer token system. Thanks in advance

@Rough harvester ant If you want to show the delete button only to authenticated used..then firstly store the token in localstorage after user logged in and check if token available in local storage and show the button
