Managing authentication

    Hello there !
    I have watched the video about authentication.
    Now I can login with Xano, and add the token on cookies
    But I have several pages that should be accessible only for authenticated user.
    How do you manage this part ?
    You do a call to auth/me on load of each page ?
    Is there a way to redirect directly users without token on cookies to homepage ?

    I think I'm doing a auth/me on each page in my Xano projects — but @Andreas Møller might have a better solution 🤷‍♀️

    Hi Paul
    The simplest way is to add a workflow to the Failed event of an API. If the request failed because the user is unauthenticated then you can redirect to the login page.

    And then you launch this API in the event lifecycle "on load" ? Or just any API that requires auth in the page ?

    Apis with Auto fetch enabled are automatically called when the page loads, or their input changes. So you dont need to do that.

    Yeah it is a bit subtle 🙂

    Hi Andreas, I tried this method for my project but the page that's supposed to be authenticated still shows for half a second for unauthenticated users before being redirected. Is there a way to redirect before the page actually loads, so the unauthenticated user doesn't see any of the authenticated page?

    No not at the moment. But it is something we are looking into addressing

    No unfortunately not yet. But it is on the roadmap for this year

    Ok great, I have tried many different platforms and authentication is always the challenge. Handling this neatly is the biggest challenge when building applications rather than web pages.

    Yes especially when working with different backends. I think there are still lots of ways we can improve it though 🙂
