<Authenticated /> Best Practice

I am relatively new to Next and am working on setting up a project using Cognito/Amplfy v5. I have my auth provider set up and am wrapping my protected routes in <Authenticated />. I want to have every route except from /login, /reset-password, etc configured to be behind <Authenticated /> by default, such that I don't need to define it in the layout file for every page and any route not aforementioned will redirect to /login . Is there a way to do this that would follow internal best practices?

Hi @benjodev. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can achieve this by wrapping your entire application with the <Authenticated /> component and defining the fallback as /login. This will ensure that all routes, except those specifically defined, will be protected and any unauthenticated access will be redirected to the /login page. Here is an example of how you can structure your routes:

<Routes>  
 <Route  
 element={  
 <Authenticated fallback={<Outlet />}>  
 <NavigateToResource resource="posts" />  
 </Authenticated>  
 }  
 >  
 <Route path="/login" element={<AuthPage type="login" />} />  
 <Route path="/reset-password" element={<ResetPasswordPage />} />  
 </Route>  
 <Route  
 element={  
 <Authenticated redirectOnFail="/login">  
 <ThemedLayoutV2>  
 <Outlet />  
 </ThemedLayoutV2>  
 </Authenticated>  
 }  
 >  
 <Route path="posts">  
 <Route index element={<PostList />} />  
 <Route  
 path="create"  
 element={  
 <CanAccess fallback={<div>Unauthorized!</div>}>  
 <PostCreate />  
 </CanAccess>  
 }  
 />  
 </Route>  
 <Route path="categories">  
 <Route index element={<CategoryList />} />  
 <Route path="show/:id" element={<CategoryShow />} />  
 </Route>  
 </Route>  
</Routes>

<Routes>  
 <Route  
 element={  
 <Authenticated fallback={<Outlet />}>  
 <NavigateToResource resource="posts" />  
 </Authenticated>  
 }  
 >  
 <Route path="/login" element={<AuthPage type="login" />} />  
 <Route path="/reset-password" element={<ResetPasswordPage />} />  
 </Route>  
 <Route  
 element={  
 <Authenticated redirectOnFail="/login">  
 <ThemedLayoutV2>  
 <Outlet />  
 </ThemedLayoutV2>  
 </Authenticated>  
 }  
 >  
 <Route path="posts">  
 <Route index element={<PostList />} />  
 <Route  
 path="create"  
 element={  
 <CanAccess fallback={<div>Unauthorized!</div>}>  
 <PostCreate />  
 </CanAccess>  
 }  
 />  
 </Route>  
 <Route path="categories">  
 <Route index element={<CategoryList />} />  
 <Route path="show/:id" element={<CategoryShow />} />  
 </Route>  
 </Route>  
</Routes>

In this example, the <Authenticated /> component is used to wrap the entire application. The fallback prop is set to <Outlet />, which will render the /login and /reset-password routes if the user is not authenticated. All other routes are nested within another <Authenticated /> component, which will redirect unauthenticated users to the /login page. Remember to replace <AuthPage type="login" />, <ResetPasswordPage />, <ThemedLayoutV2 />, <PostList />, <PostCreate />, <CategoryList />, and <CategoryShow /> with your actual components. For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on the <Authenticated /> component (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/components/authenticated#fallback) and Refine's guide on routing with React Router (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/react-router#usage-with-access-control-providers). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I am using the NextJs router. Is there a way I could set up a generic provider to handle this for me at the app's entry point?
