I am having a hell of a time trying to understand the best way to do this and where to even handle this redirect at.
I found an example of creating a ProtectedRoute component which is setup like this
const ProtectedRoute = ({ component: Component, ...rest }) => {
return (
<Route {...rest} render={props => (rest.authenticatedUser ? (<Component {...props}/>) : (
<Redirect to={{
pathname: '/login',
state: { from: props.location }
}}/>
)
)}/>
);
};
And used like this
<ProtectedRoute path="/" component={HomePage} exact />
I use redux-thunk to make sure I can use async fetch requests in my actions and those are setup something like this
Actions
export const loginSuccess = (user = {}) => ({
type: 'LOGIN_SUCCESS',
user
});
...
export const login = ({ userPhone = '', userPass = '' } = {}) => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch(loggingIn());
const request = new Request('***', {
method: 'post',
body: queryParams({ user_phone: userPhone, user_pass: userPass }),
headers: new Headers({
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
})
});
fetch(request)
.then((response) => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw Error(response.statusText);
}
dispatch(loggingIn(false));
return response;
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => dispatch(loginSuccess(data.user[0])))
.catch((data) => dispatch(loginError(data)));
};
};
Reducers
export default (state = authenticationReducerDefaultState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
...
case 'LOGIN_SUCCESS':
return {
...state,
authenticatedUser: action.user
};
default:
return state;
}
};
Where and how would I go about handling a redirect to wherever I was going before I was redirected to the login page, and how can I make sure this only happens on a success from the login fetch promise?
