Login

The Login component provides a user login form that captures email and password inputs, authenticates the user, and updates the application’s user context upon successful login. It includes error handling and success feedback.

Props

The Login component does not accept any props.

Dependencies

• axios: Used for making API requests to authenticate the user and fetch profile data.

• react-hot-toast: Displays notifications for success or error feedback during the login process.

• react-router-dom: Uses useNavigate to redirect the user to the dashboard after a successful login.

• UserContext: Accesses and updates the global user context upon successful login.

Usage Example

The Login component can be used as a standalone page for user login, typically added in the routing configuration:

<Route path="/login" element={<Login />} />

Additional Notes

• State Management:

  • data: Holds the email and password values, updated on user input.

  • UserContext: Updates the global user context by setting user data after successful login.

• Login Functionality:

  • The loginUser function captures form data, sends a login request, and checks for errors.

  • On successful login, it retrieves the user profile and redirects to the dashboard, showing a success toast notification.

• Error Handling:

  • Displays an error notification if the login request fails, enhancing the user experience by providing immediate feedback.
