React Protected Routes | Role-Based Authorization | React Router v6

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

You have an app where users login and authenticate with a server, but is that all? What if there are different levels of authorization based on assigned user roles? In this tutorial you will learn how to React Router v6 to set up role-based user authorization for different parts of your React application. This tutorial uses a Node JS backend that was created in my Node JS for Beginners full course found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGOoonh5nrl1gpo - If you're just starting out with React, I suggest learning the basics first in my React JS for Beginners full course here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIepcqx8jLRnndE

Hi Dave, What if user is at home page and uses brower back button. Will he get navigate to login page or will remain at home page?

@Dave Gray You are one the best teachers out there, I love the way you use stories to explain from both a client, user or developer point of view

I am encountering a problem... Using protected routes, if the user is not logged in, I redirect to login page. But now google has marked my login page as canonical to the order page, because google crawler is not logged in. Any way to sole this issue? Thank you. It is an amazing tutorial.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for over the past year. I've been stitching most of this together on my own over that time since I started my web dev journey but there was a main issue I had with JWTs and best practice for storing those (AT & RT) - you've cleared it up and then some! Thank you so much. Liked, subbed, belled - you seem like you know what we need to see. There are too many 'guides' and 'courses' that skip over the most important parts often pertaining to best practices such as storing JWT in localstorage for simplicity or because they assume you don't care about security. Very nice to have all in one best practice / security.

Hi Dave! 1st of all: Thanks infinitely for your work, your constant contributions to the community and your magnificent skills to teach and share your knowledge and experience. 2nd: I had written a long message to see if you could give me some perspective to sort out an issue I run into when implementing RequireAuth component and I figured out the issue when writing it down to explain it to you just now. You might not know, but you just helped me (again, eheh)! Thanks Dave!

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Glad to hear that! What you did is kind of like the "rubber duck" theory where programmers explain the issue to something on their desk which helps the thought process. Teaching helps me do the same thing! 💯

[@mauroconsolani2576]

[@sum41greekfun]

@@mauroconsolani2576 If that issue is about the auth context variable loosing its value between refreshing the page I would kinda beg you for the solution :P

[@mauroconsolani2576]

@@sum41greekfun Hi!! I've been trying to track down my code but couldn't locate if my issue was with the context variable. If I had to guess, on refresh you should check if you have a JWT token stored in your cookies. If so, send a request to you backend with the data you need to fill your auth context variable and recover the "state" of the app.

I absolutely love your tutorials! They are so insightful and correctly paced. The only thing I was wondering is if you could do this same website without axios? Or is that not a good idea? I am currently building a react app for my capstone project in college, and I am not using axios.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

You can just use fetch. It doesn't have all of the nice features built-in that axios does though. Axios is a lightweight dependency that will not bog down your project. Given the choice, I would use axios.

Hi Dave, I watched few times these series and learn already a lot but I have got a question - you are passing the data from the server to the context. After reloading the page I got a new state which is an empty state and thats a reason that I have to log in again through the login component. What is the best idea to keep state after the login and do not loose it when the page is reloaded ? Also in the network payload I can see the password wich has been written during the sign in the application - is any chance to hide it? To be honest I learn front end dev and I am a beginner with node but literally I just want to know more what is going on on the backend side :D Thank you so much for your tutorials. BDW do you have a slack community or discord etc? I would join to that kind of group under your mentoring :D

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Great questions! 1) If you continue in this series, there is a "Persist Login" tutorial that handles the reloading and reauthorization. You will always lose app state when you reload, but that video shows how to maintain a user login. 2) You could possibly encrypt client side, but this isn't common - if there is a major concern here about your network traffic being hacked, you should use a secure connection - say a VPN if available. Also, https is a must. ...You're welcome and yes, I just opened up a Discord community here: discord.gg/neKghyefqh

Hi Dave, I have a question. You specified separating concerns between routing and authorization, but what about navigation links that utilize rrd's Link component?

In V6 there's a simplified way of doing it with nested routes, would you do a new tutorial please? I found some cool blogs that explain it, but nothing like your examples! Much appreciated.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

This tutorial uses React Router v6 and covers nested routes. These are protected routes which are nested inside of a RequireAuth component which receives the user roles. If you are just looking for nesting without authentication or roles, you can also see that with the use of Outlet inside the layout component. Outlet represents the child components: reactrouter.com/docs/en/v6/components/outlet ..If you are looking for a different React Router v6 tutorial with nesting, I recommend my intro to React Router v6 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnO1fYmIn79mebM

This stuff is complicated at times and a little reply like that makes a HUGE difference for someone learning this stuff. You are right, you do have the nested routes example I was looking for, but then you removed it in the final version, correct? Since you apply "RequireAuth" individually to each route, that's what confused me, why did you change that? I will have to watch this a couple of times.
