login

I have the Google Auth. I want to add the login using email and password and have implimented the following function in my login file. However, I don't know how to set the user to be authenticated si that it is not redirected to login page. How do I do that?

  const handlelogin = (event: React.FormEvent) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    axios.post('http://localhost:3001/login',
      { email: email, password: password }
    ).then((response) => { 
      if (response.data.message) {
        alert(response.data.message);
      }
      else {
        console.log(response.data);
        localStorage.setItem('sessionToken', response.data.token);
        localStorage.setItem('isAuthenticated', 'true');
        // Redirect the user to the dashboard
        navigate('/');
      }
    });
  };

Hi @abdessamadae. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information extracts provided, I can't find the exact code snippet for your specific use case. However, I can guide you on how to set the user as authenticated using the refine framework. In refine, you would typically create an authProvider to handle authentication-related tasks. The authProvider should have a login method that sets the user as authenticated and stores the necessary information (e.g., token) in the local storage. Here's an example of an authProvider with a login method from the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/blog/refine-react-admin-invoice-genarator):

export const authProvider: AuthBindings = {  
 login: async ({ username, password }) => {  
 const { data, status } = await strapiAuthHelper.login(  
 username,  
 password,  
 );  
 if (status === 200) {  
 localStorage.setItem(TOKEN_KEY, data.jwt);  
  
 // set header axios instance  
 axiosInstance.defaults.headers.common[  
 "Authorization"  
 ] = `Bearer ${data.jwt}`;  
  
 return {  
 success: true,  
 redirectTo: "/",  
 };  
 }  
  
 return {  
 success: false,  
 error: {  
 message: "Login failed",  
 name: statusText,  
 },  
 };  
 },  
 ...
};

export const authProvider: AuthBindings = {  
 login: async ({ username, password }) => {  
 const { data, status } = await strapiAuthHelper.login(  
 username,  
 password,  
 );  
 if (status === 200) {  
 localStorage.setItem(TOKEN_KEY, data.jwt);  
  
 // set header axios instance  
 axiosInstance.defaults.headers.common[  
 "Authorization"  
 ] = `Bearer ${data.jwt}`;  
  
 return {  
 success: true,  
 redirectTo: "/",  
 };  
 }  
  
 return {  
 success: false,  
 error: {  
 message: "Login failed",  
 name: statusText,  
 },  
 };  
 },  
 ...
};

In your case, you should modify your handlelogin function to use the login method from your authProvider. This way, refine will handle the authentication state and redirection for you. If you need more information on how to create and use an authProvider in refine, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/auth/useLogin). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
