React Authentication Crash Course With Firebase And Routing

[@GrayFox391]

42:48 for anyone stuck with the private route on v6, routes and route components have since changed so this won't work. Also the "Redirect" component will not work. Instead use this for your private route: import React from "react"; import { Navigate } from "react-router-dom"; import { useAuth } from "../contexts/AuthContext"; export default function PrivateRoute({ children }) { const { currentUser } = useAuth(); return currentUser ? children : ; } Then this for the dashboard element in your app.js:

Due to some updates on firebase you can't import firebase like this (import firebase from 'firebase/app') anymore, rather use this ( import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app' ). Same for auth ( import 'firebase/compat/auth' )

[@w1ndro1d]

If you are getting 'Firebase: Error (auth/invalid-api-key)', this is caused by your react app not detecting your '.env.local' file. For some reason, this file needs to be placed in the root directory of your app instead of the '.src' folder. Also, in the latest version of react, 'Switch' has been replaced by 'Routes' and you can not use the 'component' prop anymore. It must replaced with 'element' as such: Also, 'useHistory()' is replaced by 'useNavigate()'. Use 'const navigate=useNavigate()' and 'navigate('/')' instead of 'const history=useHistory()' and 'history.push('/')'. 'Redirect' has been replaced by 'Navigate'.

If you have a error with the Switch Module you need to rename it. In the newer react-router-dom versions it was renamed from "Switch" to "Routes" and you have to declare the Route differently now. Instead of " you have to write: "

some updates to the video (and Im sure Im missing more): 1. Instead of import firebase from 'firebase/app' use import firebase from firebase/compat/app (use same 'firebase/compat' structure for other configuration variables from firebase) 2. In App.js code, switch component has been replaced by Routes within react-router-dom. 3. Similarly, use instead of 4. The hook useHistory is no longer supported by react-router-dom, instead, it is usenavigate. (also, no need to use the .push() function. You can use it directly). I will keep adding more as I find/remember.

For anyone who is having issues with the submitting a signup request, if your API key is coming back invalid and your screen is completely blank, even when you restart the service, directly copy and paste your apiKey into the firebase.js file instead of using the "process.env.-" as a string " ".

unfortunately, you might wanna not use this video as reference anymore. The version of firebase used in this video is different and firebase v9 was released on sep 1 2021. the syntax, the functions, etc have all changed and its a waste of time trying to troubleshoot.

If I comment that out I don't receive the error. Can't really figure out why but I left a note to try to figure out why the error happens later. Thanks for the great video.

Hi, just a small question. When using react-router-dom, you have 2 options in regards to "history". You can get access to it and use it using the "useHistory" hook like Kyle does in the video. However, you can also just pass it down as a component prop: const Signup = ({history}) => {etc ...} My question is if there's any substantial difference between the two or if it's just a matter of preference.

Very good and helpful tutorial. Only one little thing to be added. Prevent user accessing login page after logged in. Thank you.

Great crash course and intro to react with firebase integration. Is there a specific reason why you used useRef instead of useState for the email and password? I think the same can be achieved with useState and in a much cleaner way or did I miss something

[@SaulLee66]

Kyle has a video about useRef. Basically, it's very similar to useState. But when the value store in useRef, the component will not re-render if the value has changed. And it's popular to use it to reference a HTML element.

[@RinatYouldashbaev]

Thank you, great tutorial! But there's a "Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function." How to fix this? I modified "AuthContext.js" file a little bit. I added in useEffect "unsubscribe" function this: return function cleanup() { AbortController.abort()} - it didn't help. This warning appears after you press Log in.

[@eduardserei6859]

I got the same error, I cloned the repo in the description and got the same error. It happens because in Login.js there is setLoading(false) which updates the component AFTER the history.push('/'). This updates the Login component after it is unmounted. I'm guessing Kyle probably forgot to delete it :P there is no need for it as when the component mounts again, the inital loading state is set to false again.

[@klhmia]

Hey guys, make sure you put 'email' as a parameter of the resetPassword(email) function within the AuthContext.js since we're passing in 'emailRef.current.value' as an argument within the ForgotPassword.js component. I also had this error and that was my issue which solved it.

When logging in for the first time, I get the following error in the console: (any ideas why?) Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function

[@brendandefaria4495]

Getting that too, is it because state is being set from the useEffect hook maybe?

[@shannon-daygrant8754]

I've read elsewhere that it might have to do with setLoading(false) in Login.js taking place AFTER the history.push('/') so I'm commenting that here for anyone in the future. Not sure though.

Hi, when login i have this warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function. Can you help me please?.

[@josevillar5508]

It has to do with the Signup component. In the handleSubmit function, when you call the history.push() method your Signup component gets unmounted, and the one that your'e pushing to gets mounted. After unmounting, your'e trying to modify the state of the Signup component with the method setLoading, that's why you're getting the error. To solve it, you just have to set the loading state before using history.push() method

[@Goku19881]

@@josevillar5508 You’re a lifesaver. I spent 2 hrs. trying to fix this problem. I thought the onAuthStateChanged listener was not executing the unsubscribe call. Also, I was wrong about how a try/catch block works. I thought that the try/.catch block had an implicit return statement and that it stopped any further execution within the handleSubmit function. I didn't think the setLoading(false) would run. Putting the setLoading(false) inside the catch block fixed my problem. Thank you, José!

Are you using a ref, you might need to use .current

[@gameofcharging]

In Firebase (v9), You will need to use `getAuth` instead of using `app.auth`. So: import { getAuth } from "firebase/auth"; export const auth = getAuth(app);
