Hi @jakshire01. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To fetch the user identity using the basic auth in refine, you can implement the getIdentity method in your authProvider. Here's how you can complete the getIdentity function:

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
  // ... other methods

  getIdentity: async () => ({
    id: 1,
    name: "John Doe",
    avatar: "<https://i.pravatar.cc/300">
  })
};

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
  // ... other methods

  getIdentity: async () => ({
    id: 1,
    name: "John Doe",
    avatar: "<https://i.pravatar.cc/300">
  })
};

This example is taken from the Material UI Introduction documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/introduction/). In a real-world scenario, you would typically fetch the user data from your authentication service or API. The getIdentity method should return a promise that resolves to an object containing the user's information. If you're using a token-based authentication, you might store the user information in local storage after login. In that case, you can retrieve it in the getIdentity method:

getIdentity: async () => {
  const user = localStorage.getItem("user");
  if (user) {
    return JSON.parse(user);
  }
  return null;
}

getIdentity: async () => {
  const user = localStorage.getItem("user");
  if (user) {
    return JSON.parse(user);
  }
  return null;
}

Remember that the exact implementation will depend on your authentication setup and how you're storing user information. For more detailed information on implementing the authProvider, including the getIdentity method, you can refer to the Auth Provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To create a dynamic getIdentity method that stores and retrieves user information including email, username, and avatar, you can modify your existing authProvider code. Here's how you can update the login, register, and getIdentity methods to achieve this:

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
  login: async ({ providerName, email, username, avatar }) => {
    if (providerName === "google") {
      window.location.href = "<https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth";>
      return {
        success: true,
      };
    }

    if (email) {
      const userInfo = { email, username, avatar };
      localStorage.setItem("userInfo", JSON.stringify(userInfo));
      return {
        success: true,
        redirectTo: "/",
      };
    }

    return {
      success: false,
      error: {
        message: "Login failed",
        name: "Invalid email or password",
      },
    };
  },

  register: async ({ email, password, username, avatar }) => {
    if (email && password) {
      const userInfo = { email, username, avatar };
      localStorage.setItem("userInfo", JSON.stringify(userInfo));
      return {
        success: true,
        redirectTo: "/",
      };
    }
    return {
      success: false,
      error: {
        message: "Register failed",
        name: "Invalid email or password",
      },
    };
  },

  logout: async () => {
    localStorage.removeItem("userInfo");
    return {
      success: true,
      redirectTo: "/",
    };
  },

  // ... other methods remain the same
getIdentity: async () => {
    const userInfoStr = localStorage.getItem("userInfo");
    if (userInfoStr) {
      const userInfo = JSON.parse(userInfoStr);
      return {
        id: 1, // You might want to store and retrieve a unique id as well
        email: userInfo.email,
        name: userInfo.username,
        avatar: userInfo.avatar,
      };
    }
    return null;
  },
};

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
  login: async ({ providerName, email, username, avatar }) => {
    if (providerName === "google") {
      window.location.href = "<https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth";>
      return {
        success: true,
      };
    }

    if (email) {
      const userInfo = { email, username, avatar };
      localStorage.setItem("userInfo", JSON.stringify(userInfo));
      return {
        success: true,
        redirectTo: "/",
      };
    }

    return {
      success: false,
      error: {
        message: "Login failed",
        name: "Invalid email or password",
      },
    };
  },

  register: async ({ email, password, username, avatar }) => {
    if (email && password) {
      const userInfo = { email, username, avatar };
      localStorage.setItem("userInfo", JSON.stringify(userInfo));
      return {
        success: true,
        redirectTo: "/",
      };
    }
    return {
      success: false,
      error: {
        message: "Register failed",
        name: "Invalid email or password",
      },
    };
  },

  logout: async () => {
    localStorage.removeItem("userInfo");
    return {
      success: true,
      redirectTo: "/",
    };
  },

  // ... other methods remain the same
getIdentity: async () => {
    const userInfoStr = localStorage.getItem("userInfo");
    if (userInfoStr) {
      const userInfo = JSON.parse(userInfoStr);
      return {
        id: 1, // You might want to store and retrieve a unique id as well
        email: userInfo.email,
        name: userInfo.username,
        avatar: userInfo.avatar,
      };
    }
    return null;
  },
};

In this updated version: 1. The login and register methods now store the user information (email, username, avatar) in localStorage as a JSON string. 2. The logout method removes the user information from localStorage. 3. The getIdentity method retrieves the user information from localStorage, parses it, and returns an object with the user's details. This approach allows for dynamic storage and retrieval of user information. Remember to handle cases where some information might be missing, and consider security implications of storing sensitive information in localStorage. For more information on implementing and using the getIdentity method, you can refer to the Auth Provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider/#getidentity). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai does those params exist const authProvider: AuthBindings = { login: async ({ providerName, email, avatar, nickname}) => { if (providerName === "google") { window.location.href = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth"; return { success: true, }; } providerName, email, avatar, nickname

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The parameters you're asking about (providerName, email, avatar, nickname) are not standard parameters that are automatically provided by refine's authentication system. However, refine's authProvider is flexible and allows you to define custom parameters based on your specific authentication needs. According to the Auth Provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider/#login-):

login: async ({ email, password, remember, providerName }) => {
  // You can handle the login process according to your needs.

  // If the process is successful.
  return {
    success: true,
  };

  return {
    success: false,
    error: {
      name: "Login Error",
      message: "Invalid email or password",
    },
  };
},

login: async ({ email, password, remember, providerName }) => {
  // You can handle the login process according to your needs.

  // If the process is successful.
  return {
    success: true,
  };

  return {
    success: false,
    error: {
      name: "Login Error",
      message: "Invalid email or password",
    },
  };
},

The login method can receive any parameters you pass to it. The documentation shows email, password, remember, and providerName as examples, but you're not limited to these. If you want to use providerName, email, avatar, and nickname in your login method, you can do so by passing these parameters when you call the login function. For example:

const { mutate } = useLogin();

mutate({ 
  providerName: "google", 
  email: "user@example.com", 
  avatar: "<https://example.com/avatar.jpg",> 
  nickname: "User123" 
});

const { mutate } = useLogin();

mutate({ 
  providerName: "google", 
  email: "user@example.com", 
  avatar: "<https://example.com/avatar.jpg",> 
  nickname: "User123" 
});

Then, in your authProvider, you can access these parameters:

const authProvider: AuthBindings = {
  login: async ({ providerName, email, avatar, nickname }) => {
    // Your login logic here
  },
  // ... other methods
};

const authProvider: AuthBindings = {
  login: async ({ providerName, email, avatar, nickname }) => {
    // Your login logic here
  },
  // ... other methods
};

Remember that you need to ensure that these parameters are actually being passed when the login function is called in your application. The authProvider doesn't automatically know about or provide these parameters - they need to be supplied by your application's login process. For more details on customizing the authProvider, you can refer to the Auth Provider Interface documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/authentication/auth-provider-interface/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai the labels of authpage iam getting blank <Route path="/login" element={<AuthPage type="login" />} /> <Route path="/register" element={<AuthPage type="register" />} /> <Route path="/forgot-password" element={<AuthPage type="forgotPassword" />} /> <Route path="/update-password" element={<AuthPage type="updatePassword" />} />

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If you're experiencing blank labels on the <AuthPage /> component, there are a few things we can check and adjust. The issue might be related to the UI framework you're using with refine. Let's go through some possible solutions: 1. Make sure you're using the correct <AuthPage /> component for your UI framework. Refine provides different versions for Ant Design, Material UI, Chakra UI, and others. For example: - For Ant Design: import { AuthPage } from "@refinedev/antd"; - For Material UI: import { AuthPage } from "@refinedev/mui"; - For Chakra UI: import { AuthPage } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui"; Auth Page Components (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/auth-page/#usage) 2. If you're using a specific UI framework, ensure you've wrapped your app with the appropriate provider. For instance, for Ant Design:

   <ConfigProvider theme={RefineThemes.Blue}>
     <Refine /* ... */ >
       {/* ... */}
     </Refine>
   </ConfigProvider>

   <ConfigProvider theme={RefineThemes.Blue}>
     <Refine /* ... */ >
       {/* ... */}
     </Refine>
   </ConfigProvider>

Ant Design Config Provider (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/auth-page/#usage) 3. You can try customizing the labels by passing props to the <AuthPage /> component. For example:

   <AuthPage
     type="login"
     formProps={{
       initialValues: {
         email: "demo@refine.dev",
         password: "demodemo",
       },
     }}
     title="Custom Title"
     rememberMe={<span>Custom Remember Me</span>}
   />

   <AuthPage
     type="login"
     formProps={{
       initialValues: {
         email: "demo@refine.dev",
         password: "demodemo",
       },
     }}
     title="Custom Title"
     rememberMe={<span>Custom Remember Me</span>}
   />

AuthPage Customization (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/auth-page/#customizing-the-auth-pages) 4. If you're using a custom theme or CSS, make sure it's not overriding the default styles of the <AuthPage /> component. 5. Ensure that you have the latest version of refine and its UI components installed. You can update them using:

   npm update @refinedev/core @refinedev/antd

   npm update @refinedev/core @refinedev/antd

(Replace @refinedev/antd with the appropriate UI package you're using) If none of these solutions work, you might want to check your browser's console for any error messages or warnings that could provide more insight into the issue. Remember, the exact implementation might vary depending on which UI framework you're using with refine. If you provide more details about your specific setup (UI framework, versions, etc.), I can give you more targeted advice. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
