Im trying to create a PrivateRoutes in addition to the regular routes. After login, the page is successfully re-direct to /home, however when I tried to open /work, the page will go back to /home. all the data from state.valid is also shows "unidentified" in /work.
I figured it out that inside the privateRoutes it check if valid.isAuthenticated is true or not. However since. valid.isAuthenticated is set to false as initial value in reducer, everytime I open /home or /work, it re-render /login and then render /home or /work.
How do I fix to not to render /login before opening other pages?
Here is my PrivateRoutes.js
import React from "react";
import { useSelector } from "react-redux";
import { Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
const PrivateRoute = ({ children }) => {
const valid = useSelector((state) => state.valid);
return valid.isAuthenticated ? children : <Navigate to="/login" />;
};
export default PrivateRoute;
here is my AppRouter.js
import React from "react";
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import PrivateRoute from "./PrivateRoute";
import App from "../components/App";
import Login from "../components/Login";
import HomePage from "../components/HomePage";
import WorkPage from "../components/WorkPage";
const AppRouter = () => (
<BrowserRouter>
<div>
<NavigationBar />
<div>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<App />} exact />
<Route path="/login" element={<Login />} exact />
<Route path="/home" element={<PrivateRoute><HomePage /></PrivateRoute>} />
<Route path="/work" element={<PrivateRoute><WorkPage /></PrivateRoute>} />
</Routes>
</div>
</div>
</BrowserRouter>
);
export default AppRouter;
useEffect(() => {
if (valid.isAuthenticated) {
navigate("/home");
}
},[valid.isAuthenticated]);
