I am attempting to create a ProtectedRoutes component, however, I can't seem to get the auth state to update.
It should check if there is a cookie stored, and if so, set auth as true. Then if auth is true, it redirects to the auth component, otherwise to the landing/login page.
The auth page always redirects back to the landing page. The state is never updating to true. I can't figure out why.
ProtectedRoutes.js
import React, { Component, useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { Route, Navigate } from "react-router-dom";
import Cookies from "universal-cookie";
const cookies = new Cookies();
export default function ProtectedRoutes({component: Component, ...rest}) {
const [auth, setAuth] = useState(false);
//get cookie from browser if logged in
const token = cookies.get("TOKEN");
useEffect(() => {
if (token) {
setAuth(true);
console.log(auth);
}
},[auth, token]);
return auth ? <Component /> : <Navigate to="/" />
}
App.js
import { Container, Col, Row } from "react-bootstrap";
import "./App.css";
import Register from "./Register";
import Login from "./Login";
import { Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import Account from "./Account";
import FreeComponent from "./FreeComponent";
import AuthComponent from "./AuthComponent";
import Private from "./ProtectedRoutes";
import ProtectedRoutes from "./ProtectedRoutes";
function App() {
return (
<Container>
<Row>
<Col className="text-center">
<h1 className="header">React Authentication Tutorial</h1>
<section id="navigation">
<a href="/">Home</a>
<a href="/free">Free Component</a>
<a href="/auth">Auth Component</a>
</section>
</Col>
</Row>
{/* Routes */ }
<Routes>
<Route exact path="/" element={ <Account /> } />
<Route exact path="/free" element={ <FreeComponent /> } />
<Route path="/auth" element={<ProtectedRoutes component={AuthComponent} />} />
</Routes>
</Container>
);
}
export default App;
AuthComponent.js
import React from 'react';
export default function AuthComponent() {
return (
<div>
<h1 className="text-center">Auth Component</h1>
</div>
);
}
