React Authentication Task

Instructions

1. Read the following steps in full before writing any code.
2. Most of the code for the UI has already been built, but is missing functionality with the backend.
3. Go through the code in the src folder to get an idea of the task and project structure.
4. Once you are ready, go ahead and solve the following steps.

Task Part 1

Register

1. Open Register.js component in the pages folder.
2. import the register function from the api/auth.js.
3. Use the useMutation hook with the register function by passing userInfo.
4. go to the api/auth.js file and inside the register function add the formData.

const formData = new FormData();
for (const key in userInfo) formData.append(key, userInfo[key]);

• then pass the formData instead of userInfo to the api request
• check that the register is working by going to the users tap

Login

1. Open Login.js component in the pages folder.
2. import the login found in the api/auth.js Use the useMutation hook with the login function and pass it the user info.

• you should see the token in the response

Maintaining Login (Local storage)

1. In auth.js file create a function setUser that saves your token in the localStorage
2. In your api/index.js, use your instance to create an interceptor using the interceptors.request.use() method with an anonymous function. We will check if the response has a property called token. Save the the data with to a variable called token. Save the token using localStorage.setItem with the key token and the value token

Logout

1. go to auth.js in the api folder
2. create a function logout that resets the user to null and deletes the token from the instance header.

Sending requests with the auth token attached
