another noob question. I'm logging in my user to the system using JWT authorization, getting the token and saving it in localstorage
and then sending a post request that saves data (its a big form basically). Problem is, the sever is invalidating the token after a given time (20 minutes or so) and so, some of my post requests are returning 401 status
. How to verify (and if needed, show a login prompt) before sending the post request? I'm using redux-form
to make my forms.
P.S: I know I'm supposed to use action creators and such, but I'm still a newbie, so not very good at those stuff.
here's my authentication:
export function loginUser(creds) {
const data = querystring.stringify({_username: creds.username, _password: creds.password});
let config = {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
body: data
};
return dispatch => {
// We dispatch requestLogin to kickoff the call to the API
dispatch(requestLogin(creds));
return fetch(BASE_URL+'/login_check', config)
.then(response =>
response.json().then(user => ({ user, response }))
).then(({ user, response }) => {
if (!response.ok) {
// If there was a problem, we want to
// dispatch the error condition
dispatch(loginError(user.message));
return Promise.reject(user)
} else {
// If login was successful, set the token in local storage
localStorage.setItem('id_token', user.token);
let token = localStorage.getItem('id_token')
console.log(token);
// Dispatch the success action
dispatch(receiveLogin(user));
}
}).catch(err => console.log("Error: ", err))
}
}
and here's the POST
request (I'm getting the values
object from redux-form
)
const token = localStorage.getItem('id_token');
const AuthStr = 'Bearer '.concat(token);
let headers ={
headers: { 'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization' : AuthStr }
};
export default (async function showResults(values, dispatch) {
axios.post(BASE_URL + '/new', values, headers)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(values);
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(token);
console.log(values)
console.log(error.response);
});
});
P.P.S: if anyone has any suggestion for improving my code, feel free to comment.
