I am trying to change the navigation bar contents from Sign In/Register to other things such as Profile once the user logs in. My server sends a 401 when the user is not logged in and I have a HOC (RequireAuth.js) which checks the same for protected routes and redirects them to login if they have not logged in. However, I could not come up with a way to change the navbar contents with this logic and was wondering if there is a good way to do this (I do not want to use Redux for this purpose if possible).
RequireAuth.js
const RequireAuth = ( Component ) => {
return class Apps extends React.Component {
state = {
isAuthenticated: false,
isLoading: true
}
checkAuthentication = async() => {
const url = '/getinfo'
const json = await fetch(url, {method: 'GET'})
if (json.status !== 401) {
setTimeout(
function() {
this.setState({isAuthenticated: true, isLoading: false});}.bind(this), 1500);
} else {
setTimeout(
function() {
this.setState({isLoading: false});}.bind(this), 1500);
}
}
componentDidMount() {
this.checkAuthentication()
}
render() {
const style = {position: "fixed", top: "50%", left: "50%", transform: "translate(-50%, -50%)" };
console.log(this.state.isLoading)
const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = this.state;
if(!isAuthenticated) {
return this.state.isLoading? <div style={style}><PacmanLoader color={'#36D7CC'}/></div> : <Redirect to="/" />
}
return <Component {...this.props} />
}
}
}
export { RequireAuth }
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
}
render() {
const NotFoundComponent = () => <div>404 NOT FOUND</div>
return (
<div>
<Router>
<NavigationBar />
<Switch>
<Route exact path = '/'
component = {LandingPage}
/>
<Route exact path = '/register'
component = {Register}
/>
<Route exact path = '/Profile'
component = {RequireAuth(Profile)}
/>
<Route exact path = '/About'
component = {RequireAuth(About)}
/>
<Route exact path = '/Name'
component = {RequireAuth(Name)}
/>
<Route path="*" component = {NotFoundComponent}/>
</Switch>
</Router>
</div>
);
}
}
export default withRouter(App);
Navigation.js
class NavigationBar extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
}
render() {
return (
<Navbar bg="dark" variant="dark" expand="lg">
<Navbar.Brand >Hello</Navbar.Brand>
<Navbar.Toggle aria-controls="basic-navbar-nav" />
<Navbar.Collapse id="basic-navbar-nav">
<Nav className="ml-auto">
<Nav.Link as={Link} to='/'>Login</Nav.Link>
<Nav.Link as={Link} to='/register'>Register</Nav.Link>
</Nav>
</Navbar.Collapse>
</Navbar>
)
}
}
export default withRouter(NavigationBar);
