I am trying to logout the user when the session expires after a certain period of time. I am using redux-toolkit with react for my API calls and, hence, using the createAsyncThunk middleware for doing so.
I have around 60 API calls made in maybe 20 slices throughout my application. Also, there is a async function for logout too that is fired up on the button click. Now the problem that I am facing is that if the session expires, I am not able to logout the user automatically. If I had to give him the message, then I had to take up that message from every api call and make sure that every screen of mine has a logic to notify the Unautherised message.
I did check a method called Polling that calls an API after a certain given time. And I believe that this is not a very efficient way to handle this problem.
**Here is a little code that will help you understand how my API calls are being made in the slices of my application. **
// Here is the custom created api that has axios and withcredentials value
import axios from "axios";
const api = axios.create({
baseURL:
process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? process.env.REACT_APP_BASEURL : "",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
withCredentials: true,
});
export default api;
// My Logout Function!!
export const logoutUser = createAsyncThunk(
"userSlice/logoutUser",
async (thunkAPI) => {
try {
const response = await api.get("/api/admin/logout");
if (response.status === 200) {
return response.data;
} else {
return thunkAPI.rejectWithValue(response.data);
}
} catch (e) {
return thunkAPI.rejectWithValue(e.response.data);
}
}
);
I want to dispatch this function whenever there is a response status-code is 401 - Unauthorised. But I don't want to keep redundant code for all my other API calls calling this function. If there is a middleware that might help handle this, that would be great, or any solution will be fine.
// Rest of the APIs are called in this way.
..........
export const getStatus = createAsyncThunk(
"orgStat/getStatus",
async (thunkAPI) => {
try {
const response = await api.get("/api/admin/orgstat");
if (response.status === 200) {
return response.data;
} else {
return thunkAPI.rejectWithValue(response.data);
}
} catch (e) {
return thunkAPI.rejectWithValue(e.response.data);
}
}
);
const OrgStatusSlice = createSlice({
name: "orgStat",
initialState,
reducers: {
.......
},
extraReducers: {
[getStatus.pending]: (state) => {
state.isFetching = true;
},
[getStatus.rejected]: (state, { payload }) => {
state.isFetching = false;
state.isError = true;
state.isMessage = payload.message;
},
[getStatus.fulfilled]: (state, { payload }) => {
state.isFetching = false;
state.data = payload.data;
},
},
});
.......
If needed any more clearence please comment I will edit the post with the same.
Thank You!!
