I am new in ReactJS and starting my first app with React. I've been watching videos and going through various tutorials and finally managed to scaffold my first ReactRedux app with Login.
I've used AuthWorkflow example of ReactTraining website. There they used a PrivateRoute
component to secure protected routes. I've implemented it and its working.
Problem:
Now I can't send any custom data or like user data to protected route. How can I sent it?
Code
import React from "react";
import {
BrowserRouter as Router,
Route,
Link,
Redirect,
withRouter
} from "react-router-dom";
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// 1. Click the public page
// 2. Click the protected page
// 3. Log in
// 4. Click the back button, note the URL each time
const AuthExample = () => (
<Router>
<div>
<AuthButton />
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/public">Public Page</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/protected">Protected Page</Link>
</li>
</ul>
<Route path="/public" component={Public} />
<Route path="/login" component={Login} />
// Here I want to pass the user data to protected component.
<PrivateRoute path="/protected" component={Protected} user={username:'ariful', email:'test@example.com'}/>
</div>
</Router>
);
const fakeAuth = {
isAuthenticated: false,
authenticate(cb) {
this.isAuthenticated = true;
setTimeout(cb, 100); // fake async
},
signout(cb) {
this.isAuthenticated = false;
setTimeout(cb, 100);
}
};
const AuthButton = withRouter(
({ history }) =>
fakeAuth.isAuthenticated ? (
<p>
Welcome!{" "}
<button
onClick={() => {
fakeAuth.signout(() => history.push("/"));
}}
>
Sign out
</button>
</p>
) : (
<p>You are not logged in.</p>
)
);
const PrivateRoute = ({ component: Component, ...rest }) => (
<Route
{...rest}
render={props =>
fakeAuth.isAuthenticated ? (
<Component {...props} />
) : (
<Redirect
to={{
pathname: "/login",
state: { from: props.location }
}}
/>
)
}
/>
);
const Public = () => <h3>Public</h3>;
// show the username here
const Protected = (props) => <h3>Protected Username: {props.user.username}</h3>;
class Login extends React.Component {
state = {
redirectToReferrer: false
};
login = () => {
fakeAuth.authenticate(() => {
this.setState({ redirectToReferrer: true });
});
};
render() {
const { from } = this.props.location.state || { from: { pathname: "/" } };
const { redirectToReferrer } = this.state;
if (redirectToReferrer) {
return <Redirect to={from} />;
}
return (
<div>
<p>You must log in to view the page at {from.pathname}</p>
<button onClick={this.login}>Log in</button>
</div>
);
}
}
export default AuthExample;
How can I successfully send the user object to protected component?
