yes I solved the problem of private routes on frontend using react router but as I am using httpOnly cookie session based auth I am making request to /auth endpoint which also checks if current logged in user session is valid or not. So everytime user navigates to private route I first make API call to check user session in DB. Just wanted to know is this solution good or do you recommend anything else ? cc: @blink_bat

You can wrap your react-router switch in a HOC which when rendered (this will render only the first time you open a private route, or when you refresh on a private route), will make an API call to check if the user is auth'd or not. There might be better ways around

see this code https://pastebin.com/LXSha8pc in private route I am making call to check if user has valid session now you are suggesting to have some kind of auth provider which wraps private routes or have state in redux is that what you are suggesting? I am making additional call to /auth route to check if current loggedin user has valid session or not can we eliminate this additional call to /auth route?

You would need to make API call to check if the user is auth'd or not everytime a private route is rendered unless you can manage it in state, like redux.

Regardless of what you are doing in frontend, I'd recommend to keep /auth route and auth middleware for every private routes

From my perspective, /auth route is supposed to return crucial user data which is used for subsequent API calls. And auth middleware just to make sure that the requester is auth'd and authorised for the resource

This isLoggedIn variable is then stored in redux state variable which is used to navigate private routes in react router
