Approach to implement anonymous authentication
- Authentication Structure: Organize a React app with components (
App
,Main
,Login
) to manage the authentication flow using Firebase, incorporating thereact-firebase-hooks/auth
library. - Conditional Rendering Logic: Utilize the
useAuthState
hook in theApp
component to conditionally render theMain
orLogin
component based on the user’s authentication status. - Main Component Functionality: Inside the
Main
component, present a user interface acknowledging anonymous login success, and implement a logout button using Firebase’ssignOut
function. - Login Component Behavior: Implement the
Login
component, featuring a button triggering the anonymous sign-in process through Firebase’ssignInAnonymously
function, with error handling via an alert.
