Authentication not working
After using my custom
authProvider
, when I login and its successful, the login state doesn't persist and I still get redirected back to the login page and not the authenticated pages.
What could be happening

Hi @script4559. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
From the code snippet you provided, it seems like you're correctly setting the token in the local storage upon successful login. However, the
authProvider
also needs to implement the check
method to verify the authentication status of the user. This method is called by Refine to check if the user is authenticated or not.
Here's an example of how you might implement the check
method based on the information extracts:
In this example, the check
method looks for the token in the local storage. If the token exists, it returns an object with authenticated: true
. If the token doesn't exist, it returns an object with authenticated: false
and an error message.
Please ensure that you have implemented the check
method in your authProvider
and it's correctly checking the authentication status.
For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on creating an authProvider (https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/understanding-authprovider/create-authprovider/#setting-authorization-credentials).

@kapa.ai Why can't I pass another argument to onFinish prop funciton in Form?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
onFinish
function in Refine's useForm
or useStepsForm
hooks is designed to accept only one argument, which is the form values. This is a design choice based on the Ant Design Form's onFinish
prop, which also accepts only the form values as its argument.
Here's an example of how you might use the onFinish
function:
In this example, the onFinish
function is passed to the useForm
hook's options. This function is called when the form is successfully validated and submitted, and it receives the form values as its argument.
If you need to use additional data in your onFinish
function, you might need to use closures or React's context to make that data available.
For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on useForm (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#onfinish-2) and React Hook Form's documentation on useForm (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-form/#onfinish-1).

@kapa.ai is there a way for me to bypass that limitation?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
While you can't directly pass additional arguments to the
onFinish
function, there are several ways to make additional data available within the function:
1. Using closures: If the data you need is available in the scope where you're defining your onFinish
function, you can use a closure to make that data available inside the function. Here's an example:
In this example, the onFinish
function has access to someData
because someData
is in the same scope where the onFinish
function is defined.
2. Using React's context: If the data you need is part of your component's context, you can use the useContext
hook to access that data inside your onFinish
function. Here's an example:
In this example, the onFinish
function has access to someData
because someData
is part of the component's context.
Remember, the onFinish
function is designed to work with the form values, so if you find yourself needing to pass a lot of additional data to the function, it might be a sign that you need to refactor your code to better align with React's data flow.
For more information, you can refer to the React documentation on hooks (https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html) and the Refine documentation on useForm (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#onfinish-2).

@kapa.ai In my resource object, does the value of my list object key have to be the same with the name object key?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
No, the value of the
list
key in your resource object does not have to be the same as the name
key.
The name
key in the resource object represents the name of the resource. Refine uses this name to automatically add RESTful routes for the actions defined on a resource to the routerProvider
object.
On the other hand, the list
key represents one of the CRUD actions for the resource. The value of the list
key is the component that you want to render when you navigate to the list route of the resource.
Here's an example:
In this example, posts
is the name of the resource, and PostList
is the component that will be rendered when you navigate to the list route of the posts resource.
For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on resources (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config/#resources).

@kapa.ai but I tried using useList, but it didnt call the route I added in the list.
this is how I called the useList:
and this is my resource:
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
list
property in the resource object is expected to be a React component, not a route. The useList
hook uses the resource
parameter to determine which resource to fetch data from. It doesn't directly use the list
property from the resource object to make the API call.
In your case, you should have a dataProvider
configured that knows how to fetch data for the "campaigns" resource. The useList
hook will call the getList
method from the dataProvider
with the resource
parameter.
Here's an example of how you might define your resource and use the useList
hook:
In this example, CampaignList
, CampaignCreate
, and CampaignEdit
are React components that render the list, create, and edit views for the campaigns resource, respectively.
For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on resources (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config/#resources) and the Refine documentation on useList (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useList/).
