Authentication Support

API Platform Admin delegates the authentication support to React Admin. Refer to the chapter dedicated to authentication in the React Admin documentation for more information.

In short, you have to tweak data provider and api documentation parser, like this:

// admin/src/App.js

import React from "react";
import { Redirect, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import { HydraAdmin, hydraDataProvider as baseHydraDataProvider, fetchHydra as baseFetchHydra, useIntrospection } from "@api-platform/admin";
import parseHydraDocumentation from "@api-platform/api-doc-parser/lib/hydra/parseHydraDocumentation";
import authProvider from "./authProvider";

const entrypoint = process.env.REACT_APP_API_ENTRYPOINT;
const getHeaders = () => localStorage.getItem("token") ? {
  Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("token")}`,
} : {};
const fetchHydra = (url, options = {}) =>
  baseFetchHydra(url, {
    ...options,
    headers: getHeaders,
  });
const RedirectToLogin = () => {
  const introspect = useIntrospection();

  if (localStorage.getItem("token")) {
    introspect();
    return <></>;
  }
  return <Redirect to="/login" />;
};
const apiDocumentationParser = async (entrypoint) => {
  try {
    const { api } = await parseHydraDocumentation(entrypoint, { headers: getHeaders });
    return { api };
  } catch (result) {
    if (result.status === 401) {
      // Prevent infinite loop if the token is expired
      localStorage.removeItem("token");

      return {
        api: result.api,
        customRoutes: [
          <Route path="/" component={RedirectToLogin} />
        ],
      };
    }

    throw result;
  }
};
const dataProvider = baseHydraDataProvider(entrypoint, fetchHydra, apiDocumentationParser);

export default () => (
  <HydraAdmin
    dataProvider={ dataProvider }
    authProvider={ authProvider }
    entrypoint={ entrypoint }
  />
);

For the implementation of the auth provider, you can find a working example in the API Platform’s demo application.
