AuthProvider triggeres many times getIdentity()
Hello, i'm using Strapi as my backend and I get a lots of API calls that uses method getIdentity() from authProvider.
How to fix it?

Hi @sensib0i. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The
getIdentity
method in your authProvider
is used to get the user's identity. It's called under the hood by the useGetIdentity
hook provided by refine. This method is expected to return a resolved promise with the user's identity.
In your case, you're using Strapi as your backend and you're fetching the user's identity using the me
method from strapiAuthHelper
. If the status of the response is 200, you're returning the user's identity.
If you're experiencing issues with this method, here are a few things you could check:
1. Ensure that the TOKEN_KEY
is correctly set in the local storage and it's the correct key for your application.
2. Check if the strapiAuthHelper.me
method is correctly implemented and it's returning the expected data.
3. Make sure that the status
of the response is correctly checked. If the status
is not 200, the method will return null
which might not be the expected behavior in your application.
4. Check if the user's data (id
, username
, email
, name
, avatar
, role
) exists in the data
object of the response.
Here's an example of how getIdentity
method is implemented in the extracts:

method is fetching the user's identity from Strapi using the me
method from strapiAuthHelper

@kapa.ai I mean it works but I it sends multiple API requests each time that shoul be triggered. Is it good?
@kapa.ai u here?

@kapa.ai I mean it works but I it sends multiple API requests for the same method
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
getIdentity
method is called whenever the useGetIdentity
hook is used in your application. If you're seeing multiple API requests for the same method, it's likely that the useGetIdentity
hook is being called multiple times.
Here are a few things you could check:
1. Check where the useGetIdentity
hook is used: If it's used in multiple components that are rendered at the same time, it will result in multiple API calls. Try to limit the usage of this hook to the necessary components only.
2. Check for unnecessary re-renders: If the component using the useGetIdentity
hook is re-rendering multiple times, it will result in multiple API calls. Try to optimize your component to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
3. Use a state management solution: If the user's identity is needed in multiple parts of your application, consider storing it in a global state using a state management library like Redux or MobX. This way, you can fetch the user's identity once and access it from anywhere in your application without making additional API calls.
Remember that useGetIdentity
hook returns the result of react-query
's useQuery
which includes properties like isSuccess
and isError
. You can use these properties to handle loading and error states in your application and avoid unnecessary API calls.
Here's an example of how you can use the useGetIdentity
hook:
In this example, the useGetIdentity
hook is used to fetch the user's identity and display the user's full name.

@kapa.ai
Ok the problem was here
const accessControlProvider: IAccessControlContext = {
can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
// @ts-ignore
// TODO: naprawić ten leak here
// const user = await authProvider?.getIdentity(params);
// console.log(user);
}
}
how should i use that accessControlProvider?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
accessControlProvider
is used to manage access control throughout your application. It should have a single asynchronous method named can
which is used to check if a desired access will be granted.
Here's an example of how you can use the accessControlProvider
:
In this example, the can
function checks if the resource
is "posts" and the action
is "edit". If both conditions are met, it returns { can: false, reason: "Unauthorized" }
, otherwise, it returns { can: true }
.
You can also access the resource object directly:
In this example, the can
function checks if the resourceName
is "posts", anyUsefulMeta
is true
, and the action
is "edit". If all conditions are met, it returns { can: false, reason: "Unauthorized" }
.
You can then provide the accessControlProvider
to the <Refine>
component:

@kapa.ai
i want to set it depending on User role, how to do that? to not have leak?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To set the
accessControlProvider
depending on the user role, you need to fetch the user's role inside the can
method. You can use the authProvider
's getPermissions
method to get the user's role. However, you should be careful to avoid memory leaks.
Here's an example of how you can do this:
In this example, the can
function fetches the user's role using authProvider.getPermissions()
. If the user's role is 'admin', it allows all actions. If the user's role is 'editor' and the resource is 'posts' and the action is 'edit', it allows the action. For all other cases, it denies the action.
Remember to replace 'admin'
and 'editor'
with the actual roles in your application.

if someone has similar problem:
the error was actually caused by accessControlProvider
i had a leak over there
