๐ Not every page should be public.
Today, I built a Protected Routing system in my React app using Firebase Authentication + React Router v6.
And let me tell you โ this was a game changer for how I think about frontend security ๐
Hereโs what I implemented:
โ A PrivateRoute wrapper that redirects unauthenticated users using
โ A custom Auth Context built on onAuthStateChanged() from Firebase
โ Automatic redirect to login when the token/session expires
This setup made sure:
โ /dashboard is only accessible if the user is logged in
โ Auth state is shared cleanly via context
โ No more UI flashes or race conditions between auth and routing
๐ฌ Whatโs your preferred method for route protection?
HOCs, hooks, or something else entirely?
Letโs share patterns โ the cleaner the flow, the safer the app. ๐
