Axios with Auth0
This project uses auth0 to authenticate users Auth0 Documentation. When a user attempts to login or to access a protected routed they will be directed to auth0's third party sign on. After successful login they will be redirected to the dashboard or to the protected endpoint they were attempting to reach.\
For a hands-on understanding of the mechanics here is a link to build your own app secured by auth0: Quickstart.
Auth0 stores the token privately so that it can't be accessed in the dev console or by another developer. So the axiosWithAuth
process
requires that we utilize one of auth0's methods getAccessTokenSilently
to get the token directly from auth0.
React does not allow us to use the useAuth0 hook (or its method: getAccessTokenSilently
) in the axiosWithAuth
helper. Here are the related
React docs that address this issue hooks rules so we have built a useAxiosWithAuth0()
hook to connect
axiosWithAuth
to getAccessTokenSilently
. This requires one extra step in axiosWithAuth
's implementation within components: We import the hook
and destructure axiosWithAuth
from the hook. This is a good article that provided us a template for building this hook:
