Using the Authentication Information

Using the Authentication Information

Navigation Buttons

Let's update the sign in and sign up buttons/links to only display if the user is not logged in

{
isLoggedIn() ? null : <Link to="/signin">Sign in</Link>
}
{
isLoggedIn() ? null : <Link to="/signup">Sign up</Link>
}

Here we test if the user is logged in, and if they are not then we show the <Link>. This works since isLoggedIn() returns either true or false -- If the value is false, JavaScript will interpret and return the second part of the boolean logic, which is the <Link> -- If the value is true JavaScript renders that. React renders a value of true as nothing. This code effectively only shows the links if the user is not logged in.

We can add a Sign out button.

{
isLoggedIn() ? (
<a
href="/"
className="link"
onClick={function (event) {
event.preventDefault()
handleLogout()
}}
>
Sign out
</a>
) : null
}

This code only shows the logout button if the user is logged in.

We will also add a method to handle the logout:

function handleLogout() {
logout()
window.location.assign('/')
}

Now let's only show the avatar, welcome message, and create new restaurant if the user is logged in.

To determine the user, we'll add a call to getUser from auth.js

const user = getUser()

and then we can use that in place of the user's hardcoded name:

{
isLoggedIn() ? <p>Welcome back, {user.fullName}!</p> : null
}

We haven't added an avatar image upload for the user, so we'll leave this hard coded for the moment.

{
isLoggedIn() ? (
<li className="avatar">
<img src={avatar} alt="Steve's Avatar" height="64" width="64" />
</li>
) : null
}

And to update the add new restaurant button:

{
isLoggedIn() ? (
<Link to="/new">
<i className="fa fa-plus"></i> Restaurant
</Link>
) : null
}

Hide the "New Review" form unless logged in

We will wrap the <h3> and the <form> in a fragment tag to place them in a group. We then use a ternary operator with isLoggedIn() that will show that JSX for logged-in users.

{
isLoggedIn() ? (
<>
<h3>Enter your own review</h3>
<form onSubmit={handleNewReviewSubmit}>
{/* all the form contents not shown here */}
</form>
</>
) : null
}
