I'm trying to display an error message when a user tries to sign in with an unregistered user but I'm not able to get that error message on the frontend(reactjs) that I am sending from my backend(nodejs, express, MongoDB).
I am using redux to handle the state of the react app.
user login form onSubmit code:
const onSubmit = (data) => {
if (isLogin) {
dispatch(signin(data, history));
} else {
dispatch(signup(data, history));
}
};
actions creators for auth
import * as api from "../api";
export const signin = (formData, history) => async (dispatch) => {
try {
// login the user
const { data } = await api.signIn(formData);
dispatch({ type: "AUTH", data });
history.push("/");
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
dispatch({ type: "ERROR", data: error.response.data.message });
}
};
export const signup = (formData, history) => async (dispatch) => {
try {
// sign up the user
const { data } = await api.signUp(formData);
dispatch({ type: "AUTH", data });
history.push("/");
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
};
reducers for auth:
const authReducer = (state = { authData: null }, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case "AUTH":
localStorage.setItem("profile", JSON.stringify({ ...action?.data }));
return { state, authData: action?.data };
case "LOGOUT":
localStorage.clear();
return { state, authData: null };
case "ERROR":
return { state, authData: action?.data };
default:
return state;
}
};
export default authReducer;
Backend sign in code
const signin = async (req, res) => {
const { email, password } = req.body;
try {
const existingUser = await User.findOne({ email });
if (!existingUser)
return res.status(404).json({ message: "User doesn't exist." });
const isPasswordCorrect = await bcrypt.compare(
password,
existingUser.password
);
if (!isPasswordCorrect)
res.status(404).json({ message: "Invalid Credentials" });
const token = jwt.sign(
{ email: existingUser.email, id: existingUser._id },
"test",
{ expiresIn: "1h" }
);
res.status(200).json({ result: existingUser, token });
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ message: "Something went wrong" });
}
};
sign API
import axios from "axios";
const API = axios.create({
baseURL: process.env.REACT_APP_BASE_URL,
});
export const signIn = (formData) => API.post("/user/signin", formData);
export const signUp = (formData) => API.post("/user/signup", formData);
Anyone, please help me with this.
Screenshots of the error response in Postman:
CodePudding user response：
As far as I understood, everything is working fine, and actually, there is no error happening on the frontend side. You have to check the status code of "await api.signIn(formData);" response. If it is 200, it means that everything is ok otherwise you have to check the message in the response to get the message error. As on the frontend there is thrown error to be catched.
CodePudding user response：
I just debugged the issue. First install redux-devtools-extension by npm install --save redux-devtools-extension
Then apply this in store(index.js file in your case) as follows
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Provider } from "react-redux";
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from "redux";
import thunk from "redux-thunk";
import App from "./App";
import { reducers } from "./reducers";
import { composeWithDevTools } from "redux-devtools-extension";
const middleware = [thunk];
const store = createStore(
reducers,
composeWithDevTools(applyMiddleware(...middleware))
);
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<Provider store={store}>
<App />
</Provider>
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById("root")
);And now you can use the error message anywhere as follows (your Auth.js file)
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useSelector } from "react-redux";
import Input from "../utils/Input";
import Label from "../utils/Label";
import { useForm, FormProvider } from "react-hook-form";
import { GoogleLogin } from "react-google-login";
import { useDispatch } from "react-redux";
import { useHistory } from "react-router";
import { signin, signup } from "../../actions/auth";
const Auth = () => {
const [isLogin, setIsLogin] = useState(true);
const formMethods = useForm();
const auth = useSelector((state) => state.auth);
const { authData } = auth;
const { handleSubmit } = formMethods;
console.log(authData);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
const history = useHistory();
const onSubmit = (data) => {
if (isLogin) {
dispatch(signin(data, history));
} else {
dispatch(signup(data, history));
}
};
const googleSuccess = async (res) => {
const result = res?.profileObj;
const token = res?.tokenId;
try {
dispatch({ type: "AUTH", data: { result, token } });
history.push("/");
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
};
const googleFailure = (error) => {
console.log(error);
console.log("Google sign in was unsuccessful");
};
return (

export default Auth;And one last thing. Check nested object before using its properties like error.response.data.message (your auth.js actions file)
import * as api from "../api";
export const signin = (formData, history) => async (dispatch) => {
try {
// login the user
const { data } = await api.signIn(formData);
dispatch({ type: "AUTH", data });
history.push("/");
} catch (error) {
console.log("An error occured while ");
const errMsg =
error.response && error.response.data.message
? error.response.data.message
: error.message;
dispatch({ type: "ERROR", data: errMsg });
console.log(errMsg);
}
};
export const signup = (formData, history) => async (dispatch) => {
try {
// sign up the user
const { data } = await api.signUp(formData);
dispatch({ type: "AUTH", data });
history.push("/");
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
};Hope it helps!
