i've been trying since days to redirect my user after login to the home creating a callback function in my App.js and sending it as props to the login class component throught a loginregisterpage class component, but this doesn't work, can someone have a look on it and tell me what i;m missing out? Thank you my code look like this
App.js
import React from 'react'
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route } from 'react-router-dom'
import { HomePage } from './Pages/HomePage/HomePage'
import { LoginRegisterPage } from './Pages/LoginRegisterPage/LoginRegisterPage'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
export class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
authenticated: false,
}
this.handleSuccess = this.handleSuccess.bind(this);
}
handleSuccess = (data) => {
this.props.history.push("/")
}
render() {
return (
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/">
<HomePage />
</Route>
<Route exact path="/login-register">
<LoginRegisterPage onLoginSuccess={this.handleSuccess} />
</Switch>
</Router>
)
}
}
LoginRegisterPage class component
class LoginPage extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
username: '',
password: '',
accessToken: '',
authenticated: ''
};
this.handleChangeUsername = this.handleChangeUsername.bind(this);
this.handleChangePassword = this.handleChangePassword.bind(this);
}
handleChangeUsername(event) {
this.setState({
username: event.target.value
})
}
handleChangePassword(event) {
this.setState({
password: event.target.value
})
}
handleClick(event) {
var apiBaseUrl = "https://myapi.com/auth/"
const payload = {
method: "POST",
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
'username': this.state.username,
'password': this.state.password
})
};
const { username, password } = this.state;
if (username && password) {
fetch(apiBaseUrl + 'login', payload)
.then((response) => {
if (response.status === 200) {
alert("Logged In! You'll be redirected on Home")
return response.json()
} else {
return alert("wrong pass")
}
}).then((data) => {
this.setState({
accessToken: data.accestToken,
authenticated: data.authenticated
});
localStorage.setItem('accessToken', data.accessToken);
if (data.authenticated === true) {

The most common ways to implement redirection logic after login are: using HTTP Referer header. saving the original request in the session. appending original URL to the redirected login URL.
The Redirect component was usually used in previous versions of the react-router-dom package to quickly do redirects by simply importing the component from react-router-dom and then making use of the component by providing the to prop, passing the page you desire to redirect to.
To redirect to another page on button click in React: Use the useNavigate() hook, e.g. const navigate = useNavigate(); . Call the navigate() function, passing it the path - navigate('/about') . The navigate() function lets us navigate programmatically.
If you're using React Router you can use the Redirect component:
import { Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
export default function PrivateRoute () {
if (notLoggedIn()) {
return <Redirect to="/login"/>;
}
// return your component
}
But if you're not inside a render function (i.e. you're in a submit callback) or you want to rewrite browser history, use the useHistory
hook (note: hooks work only in function components, not class components)
import { useHistory } from 'react-router-dom';
const history = useHistory();
// After your login action you can redirect with this command:
history.push('/otherRoute');
App
is defined outside the Router
component so it has no history
prop function to call to do any navigation.
Have the LoginRegisterPage
component navigate upon successful authentication. It will need to access the history
object of the nearest Router
context. Normally this is achieved by consuming passed route props from the Route
component.
You can:
Move LoginRegisterPage
to be rendered by the component
prop of the Route
so it receives the route props and thus the history
object as a prop.
<Route exact path="/login-register" component={LoginRegisterPage} />
LoginRegisterPage
class LoginPage extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
...
}
...
handleClick(event) {
var apiBaseUrl = "https://myapi.com/auth/"
const payload = {...};
const { username, password } = this.state;
const { history } = this.props; // <-- destructure history from props
if (username && password) {
fetch(apiBaseUrl + 'login', payload)
.then((response) => {
...
}).then((data) => {
this.setState({
accessToken: data.accestToken,
authenticated: data.authenticated
});
localStorage.setItem('accessToken', data.accessToken);
if (data.authenticated === true) {
console.log(this.props)
this.props.history.push("/"); // <-- navigate!
}
})
.catch((err) => console.log(err));
} else {
alert("Cannot be Empty")
}
}
render() {
...
}
}
Decorate your LoginRegisterPage
with the withRouter Higher Order Component so the route props are injected as props.
import { withRouter } from 'react-router-dom;
...
const LoginPageWithRouter = withRouter(LoginPage);
If you prefer to do a redirect then replace any history.push
calls with history.replace
. push
is a normal navigation and pushes on a new path on the history state whereas replace
replaces the current history entry in the stack. After the auth redirect you probably don't want users to back navigate back to your login page/route.
If you need the handleSuccess
callback to manage some auth state in App
then I think it best to let App
manage the authentication state and the LoginPage
to still handle navigation. In this case, go with the second solution above so it receives both the handleSuccess
callback and the history
object.
if (data.authenticated === true) {
this.props.onLoginSuccess(data); // <-- callback to parent to set state
this.props.history.replace("/"); // <-- imperative navigation
}
