Creating a login with authentication is often a required part of creating a web app. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a login form that submits information with Axios for authentication with a server. The login will also be created with accessibility in mind. This is really part 2 of a registration / login tutorial series. Part 1 is the registration with validation tutorial found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNiTe65ktZynmIU.html

You have done a great job; I am watching this in 2024 and I will not hesitate to say that I didn't find such tutorial on entire you tube. So super helpful to me.

Finally someone that speaks clear and concise. Loved the tutorial going to look at your full course. Thanks alot.

Thank so much. In India we call teacher as GURU. Your my guru from now on.

Dave, your channel is massively underrated. Really well put together + love how each video in the series builds on the previous. This is exactly what I look for in Udemy courses that I pay for! Liked and subbed!!

dave is the only youtuber, who before i even watched the video, i gave a thumbs up. quality of content, delivery of concepts all neatly wrapped and can be understood in depth 😍😘

How amazing, this is the first tutorial I've watched from you and it's so very well organized and you explain things bit by bit. Thanks a lot Dave.

Thank you for responding with this video after my comment on the react tutorial. Your course stacks backend and front end expertly! Now, the server will have issued a refresh token in the form of a HTTP cookie. I cant wait to see how you handle the refresh in the client app!

Couldn’t be more clear! I’ve already have worked doing some things in React but this wrap up my knowledge rather nicely! Congrats 🎉 I just subscribed!

just landed here today and I want to say that this channel is amazing!

This series of videos is exactly what I was looking for. Let me thank you for this great content! Perfectly explained and such a clean code that makes it even easier for someone to understand what is being explained. Thanks again

Damn, one of the best youtube channels in the developer space.

Great work, you have put so much effort in these tutorials. Learned a lot. Thanks.

amazing man

I am still a beginner web developement but I really apreciate your work. Thank you

The clarity, the excellent presentation. Best in KZfaq. I'll be referring to you as Boss.

OMG, you're so good at making things complicated for beginners !

Brilliant! This is amazing content. You have an incredible ability to get the complexity across, thank you so much.

Very Easy to follow tutorial. Loved every bit of it. Will definitely watch the entire playlist and more of your courses.

This is the most straight forward tutorial i have ever come accrossed. Thanks to you Dave

Thanks Dave Gray I really appreciate your commitment and time to go through thing like these, and how you take your time to explain bit by bit of the code thanks👍👊

I like how specific this is. Thank you for making content for us beginners and intermidiate users.

Amazing tutorial, I learn much things that I was struck in, thank you!

For anyone comes to this tutorial lately, the second argument of axios request, in the time this tutorial was published, it needed to be json (that is why he used json.stringnify). But currently, it is ok to pass an object, no need to convert to json anymore Moreover, in a axios post request, the content type is default set to json, so u can remove that

you're the coder Dave.. thanks for such awesome stuff!

What makes your videos great is that you split frontend and backend. You didn't use any backend here yet I still understand what is going on on backend and how to manage login registration in frontend with auth.

Amazing tutorials Dave, truly.

Thank you very much for this. It helped alot . I really think this tutorial is underrated.

Dave, I can't thank you enough for this amazing content. Thank You!

Thank you man. Awesome, best tutorial ever. Keep it up

This guy is great. I like the tutorial a lot and learnt a lot too !

I've watched a few of your videos. You are a really fine instructor, and your pacing is perfect. Thank you!

"keep striving for progress over perfection and a little progress everyday will go a very long way" I love it :)

Well explained hats off to u Dave U r helping me a lot thanks is a very tiny word for ur work amazing buddy

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you very much for the great tutorial! That's exactly what I've looking for to understand authentication.

After so many days of searching on KZfaq, I stumbled upon your video playlist on how to set refreshTokens and use them in a React app. I also learned a lot about Private Routes and other concepts. I'm extremely grateful for the valuable content you've provided. I really appreciate what you're doing. Although the playlist is a year old, it's still the best. Just one small doubt i have. In the context API, you have initialized the auth state and createContext with an empty object. If i do the same, it is not redirecting to the login page. May I know why?

Great job. Thanks Dave.

Thanks for describing every steps in details and thanks again for maintaining code quality. #subscribed

Great tutorials. Thank you.

Hello sir. Again an excellent tutorial with amazing explanation. I have some questions if i may ask. 1. Is state safe to store authentication details? And we have to login every time we refresh page because state will disappear. What is a better authentication approach so we dynamically checking on server if user is authenticated ? Ty for this amazing tutorial

Excellent tutorial.Thanks alot Dave.

Great explanation! Thank You for your work!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks a lot.

You are a good teacher. Everything that you explained realy understandable. Thank you very much..❤️🔥

Thanks for your amazing and concise tutorial. Would you make a tutorial for Django Rest Framework, since I wanna use Django as a backend Server instead of Node JS.

Thanks for source code man appreciate it. You gained new sub

28:15 Nice trick. Did not know about that :)

Excellent material as always.

Amazing content!!! !! :) Added to my TOP content providers 💪💪 one thing, it would be nice to have this backend api link to test it out on ourself or maybe some json-server to mock it somehow :) Keep doing, amazing work! waiting for same with typescirpt 😊😊

Hi Dave, First of all thanks for these great tutorials!! What's the difference between this tutorial and your "React Login Authentication with JWT Access, Refresh Tokens, Cookies and Axios" tutorial. Also, is the backend that you use in this tutorial created in the full Node js Guide? Thanks!

exactly what I need it, thank you very much!

As always, you make it so simple for us. thank you. my question is, what happens if I add react-query to my app. should I change this AuthProvider and use react-query somehow? can you make a video about that? Thank you

Great video, it helped me a lot!

super and very good explanation with example. very nice. thx

Is it correct to set the axios base url depending on whether we are in a dev or prod environment? I've been doing the env checking using interceptors, and I discovered here the base url setting, which one is better in this case? Thanks for sharing your knowledge Dave.

19:33 What else do you typically put inside of the api folder? Aside from the function that creates the axios instance. I already placed my api calls in their respective stores so.

Thanks very much. Awesome video!

this is the best tutorial for me, thanks!

Isnt a generic error message better than a specific one like "no server response"? For mitigating hackers

I have never seen a tutorial this perfect and amazing. Thanks so much!!

Hi Dave! Which parts of the Node JS video corresponds to the login project?

Great stuff, mate. Many thanks

Great Job.Thanks, a lot Dave.

Thanks, Dave really great tutorial. My only issue now is figuring out how to logout

I love your video !

Hi, Dave. Ty for your lessons. Why do you put post request body in JSON.stringify function? We can just put js object there as the 2nd parameter { user, pwd }

Hello Dave, thank you so much for such quality content you are creating! I have already completed the Node (loved the allowedOrigin) series and just done as well this one, with persisting login. Absolute illuminating ! There is something I can't wrap my head on and if I remember correctly is in this video you first implemented. When creating the Login component, into the submit function, you call setAuth and pass to it user, psw, role and accessToken. Is it correct that all this values are gonna be stored into the app state globally (as long as the Provider pass it down) ? Is it necessary to pass it also the password? Thank you again for all the time you are investing !

Thanks for your generosity about spending time to teach others. This tutorial really helps me alot ❤

Why are you not popular yet?!

Great video, thank you 🙌

I skimmed through the video, excellent job, however I have a silly question, forgive me, How were you able to route to the home or make shift home page upon logging in?

Hi Dave , Your tutorial is awesome , I want to follow along react-authentication series but i dont want to create nodejs project for backend from scratch that we are using in current project. Is there any way i can directly setup backend and focus on react part . If there is way please let me know it will be greate help Thanks

found it very insightful.

Awesome. Thank you

excellent thank you !

Hello Dave, Your Tutorial is awesome can you please tell us how you connect with database mysql and curd operations

@20.00 you mentioned backend created with other tutorial.....I strongly think that would be MUCH FAIR if you said that at the start of this video.

This video helped me.

I am currently trying to make a sign in and sign up with vite react js and also using Axios as the database. What is the difference between the normal react js and the vite react js? Is there a way for me to convert between react js to vite react js?

The cookie doesnt set on the front end. The token does generate at the backend though but idk whats wrong. I believe is code is flawless.

Thank you for the video it was very helpful ❤️ But I have a concern about logout. It seems you haven't implement a logout function here... 🤔

what a video! thank so much

Thanku sir this tutorial is helpfull.please make a Angular Mean series thanku...!!

hmmm will you be my next binge?

What will happend if user refreshes page after logging in? Won't context data be lost ?

I have : setAuth is not a function, what can it be?

Any reason why you're saving user password in global context?

Thank you so much. It is a good example, but how to call axiosPrivate not inside the Component, for example inside redux operations?

Hey Dave, your tutorials have been really helpful to me. I have this question @ 22:37 - What is the thing with withCredentials? Why do we need to specify it? I was working with an API and I was getting an error when I set withCredentials to true. I have googled about it a bit but it wasn't clear to me why it is needed? Could help me understand its need?

I did all the code but I don't find the user in my bdd and I can add the same user with same proprieties and it makes n error what to do ?

Hi, pls let me know which nodeJS tutorial need to follow of your youtube channel so that I can also create the same backend environment in my local with authentication fucntionality which you are using in this ReactJS tutorial.

Hello Dave! Thank u so much! Can you add mail confirmation guide (after registration) ?

Dave when I hit refresh in my browser after log in it kicks me back to login :(

Very good tutorial. Can you also add the "Forgot Password" feature. Thanks

This is golden.....Thanks Dave your a saver. my challenge is that I tried to use your already created backend so i can follow along but I can't seem to get the desired result. no response from the backend. the best i got is an index.html. how do I call the other end points like register, login so I can get the token and all from the front end. i don't know backend yet(still focusing on front end)

im following along for react native im hopping it wont get complicated, I wish my team chose react instead

what is the use of setAuth and auth variable ,code can be in flow to reach successful sign in without it

Hi, I'm new to react and I'm loving your videos. Great work! A quick one, is it really safe to store the password in state. I've seen it in several tutorial and I'm just wondering if that's really safe. PS: I'm from a back-end side of things

You are the best , thank you!
