API Authentication Using Laravel Sanctum and React js Part 3

1 year ago admin Reactjs

In the third part of this tutorial, we will register and log in the user, get the access token, and use it to log out the user.


Display laravel validation errors

Always inside helpers let's create a new file 'validation.js' that contains the code to display the validation errors.

                                                    
                                                                                                                
export const renderValidationErrors = (errors, field) => {
    return errors?.[field]?.length && errors[field].map((error, index) => {
        return <div key={ index } className="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
            { error }
        </div>
    }) 
};

Update App.js

Next, let's update the App component create the routes, and fetch the currently logged-in user.

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import Register from './components/auth/Register';
import Login from './components/auth/Login';
import Header from './components/layouts/Header';
import { AuthContext } from './helpers/authContext';
import axios from 'axios';
import { BASE_URL } from './helpers/url';
import { getConfig } from './helpers/config';

function App() {
  const [accessToken, setAccessToken] = useState(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("accessToken")));
  const [currentUser, setCurrentUser] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchCurrentUser = async () => {
      try {
          const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/user`, getConfig(accessToken));
          setCurrentUser(response.data.user);
      } catch (error) {
          if (error.response.status === 401) {
              localStorage.removeItem('accessToken');
              setCurrentUser(null);
              setAccessToken('');
          }
          console.log(error);
      }
    }
    fetchCurrentUser();
  }, []);

  return (
    <AuthContext.Provider value={{accessToken, setAccessToken, currentUser, setCurrentUser}}>
      <BrowserRouter>
        <Header />
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/register" element={<Register />} />
          <Route path="/Login" element={<Login />} />
        </Routes>
      </BrowserRouter>
    </AuthContext.Provider>
  );
}

export default App;

Header component

Next, inside src create a new folder 'components' inside create a new folder 'layouts' inside add a new file 'Header.jsx'.

   > components 

        >> layouts

             >>> Header.jsx

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
import React, { useContext } from 'react'
import { Link, useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';
import { AuthContext } from '../../helpers/authContext';
import axios from 'axios';
import { BASE_URL } from '../../helpers/url';
import { getConfig } from '../../helpers/config';
import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

export default function Header() {
    const { accessToken, setAccessToken, currentUser, setCurrentUser } = useContext(AuthContext);
    const location = useLocation();

    const logout = async () => {
        try {
            await axios.post(`${BASE_URL}/user/logout`, {} , getConfig(accessToken));
            localStorage.removeItem('accessToken');
            setCurrentUser(null);
            setAccessToken('');
            toast.success('Logged out successfully', {
               position: toast.POSITION.TOP_RIGHT
            });
        } catch (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }
    }

    return (
        <nav className="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
            <div className="container-fluid">
                <button
                    className="navbar-toggler"

            </div>
        </nav>
    )
}

Register component

Next, inside components create a new folder 'auth' inside add a new file 'Register.jsx'.

   > components 

        >> layouts

             >>> Header.jsx

        >> auth

             >>> Register.jsx

import { toast } from 'react-toastify';

export default function Register() {
    const [name, setName] = useState('');
    const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
    const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
    const [errors, setErrors] = useState({});
    const navigate = useNavigate();
    const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
    const { accessToken, setAccessToken,  setCurrentUser } = useContext(AuthContext);

    useEffect(() => {

            navigate('/');
        }
    }, [accessToken]);
    
    const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        setErrors({});

        const data = { name, email, password };
        try {

            }
            console.log(error);

Login component

Next, inside auth add a new file 'Login.jsx'.

   > components 

        >> layouts

             >>> Header.jsx

        >> auth

             >>> Register.jsx

             >>> Login.jsx


NB: for styling & icons I have already added Bootstrap and font-awesome icons inside the index.html file.
