import React from "react";

import { AuthConsumer } from "../providers/authProvider";

export const PrivateRoute = ({ component, ...rest }) => {
    const renderFn = (Component) => (props) => (
        <AuthConsumer>
            {({ isAuthenticated, signinRedirect }) => {
                if (!!Component && isAuthenticated()) {
                    return <Component {...props} />;
                } else {
                    signinRedirect();
                    return <span>loading</span>;
                }
            }}
        </AuthConsumer>
    );

    return <Route {...rest} render={renderFn(component)} />;
};

Does this private route pass in the user information returned from the authentication call? If I wanted to display the name of the user (returned from authentication) in my header banner, how would I go about accessing that information?

Hi Kyle, two things, first of all from BE you can write in the token metadata, if I not remember wrong, so with the token you can extract the information. I prefer to isolate the user info in other calls, so you authenticate the user . with credentials, an in this moment with the token seted and the process of authentication has passed load the user info with other call, in this way you are maintaining the impersonation of the data. But if you need for some reason you fetch data from BE in the AuthServiceCalls (signingRequest, signingSilent...), you can update the AuthService with a function that return the structure that you need from the service, and add to the context and provider, in this case the authConsumer will have access to this new function, and you will be able to manage the data from the context. However I don't like to add user info in the token or in the auth service. I hope it helps. Bye El vie., 31 ene. 2020 a las 18:02, Kyle Peters (<notifications@github.com>) escribió:
