How do I handle authentication state in a SPA react app?

Hello, I have implemented authentication in my backend that uses http only cookies, so now I am not sure how do I handle authentication state in a SPA react app. When the user logs in I would like to store the auth state in a store like React Context or Zustand, but what if the user closes the app and opens it again? Should I hit an API route like getUser every time he opens it and if it returns the user that means he is sill logged in? Should I use Provider component (React Context) that wraps the whole app that checks the API? I would like to use a HashRouter instead of a BrowserRouter in my app. Thanks.
