authContainer

React High Order Component to add authentication to Redux app

The authentication is a very common pattern in every app.

This is a High Order Component Read and this and this to add authentication features to whatever React Component you need

Example

import { AuthContainer } from './containers/Auth'
	const AuthComponent = AuthContainer()
	ReactDOM.render(
	  <Provider store={store}>
			<Router history={history}>
				<Route path="/" component={App}>
					<IndexRedirect to="/login" />
				</Route>
				<Route path="/login" component={Login} />
				<Route path="/trips" component={AuthComponent(PrivateView)} />
			</Router>
	  </Provider>,
	  document.getElementById('root')
	)

The HOC add a checkAuth method based on the props. As default will review this.props.user.authenticated to get the authentication status, you can pass your own way to get the status using

const AuthComponent = AuthContainer({
		authSelector: (authData) => { return true},
	})

Also the HOC will redirect to /login as default if the user is not authenticated, you can change that using:

const AuthComponent = AuthContainer({
	redirectOnFailure: '/whatever',
})

TODO

• Add an example app
• Add test suite
