Most of the BlueChilli projects use the same backend framework and as a result, have the exact same APIs for user management. Therefore, use this module ONLY IF you are using the Account module.
This module contains two wrappers, NOT an actual component. They are requireAuthentication & doNotRequireAuthentication;
Import it as such:
import {requireAuthentication, doNotRequireAuthentication} from '../modules/Auth'
Ideally, you’d be using react-route-dom(React React 4 for the browser) as your navigation system and therefore, using these wrappers is a piece of cake.
You can wrap any component in these wrappers in a route like so:
<Route path="..." component={requireAuthentication(<YOUR_COMPONENT_HERE>)} />
Even if you are not using the routing system, you can still wrap any component in these wrappers and it’ll work.
requireAuthentication
This wrapper ensures that your component will only be loaded into the DOM if the user is logged in. If not, it’ll redirect the user to the login page.
doNotRequireAuthentication
This wrapper ensures user can’t see the pages like sign up survey etc. whilst they are still logged in. If you have any sort of account management, it’s generally a good idea to wrap components that can be seen by the user while they are not logged in with this wrapper.
