User LogIn

user login and logout for react native introduction after implementing a component that handles user registration in parse in the last guide, you will now learn how to log in and log out users using the same parse user parse user class you will also learn to install and configure react navigation react navigation so you can navigate the user through your new screens and components the parse user login parse user login method stores in your local storage a valid user session, so future calls to methods like currentasync currentasync will successfully retrieve your user data on the other hand, logout logout will clear this session from disk and log out of any linked services in your parse server at any time, you can access the complete android project built with this tutorial at our github repositories https //github com/templates back4app/android parse sdk kotlin https //github com/templates back4app/android parse sdk java prerequisites to complete this tutorial, you will need a react native app created and https //www back4app com/docs/react native/parse sdk/react native sdk complete the previous guides so you can have a better understanding of https //www back4app com/docs/react native/parse sdk/working with users/react native login goal to build a user login and logout feature using parse for a react native app 1 installing dependencies at some point, every application in react native will need screen navigation you will now learn how to install and configure the most used library in react native for this, react navigation react navigation go to your project root directory and install the following dependencies cd yourapp yarn add @react navigation/native react native reanimated react native gesture handler react native screens react native safe area context @react native community/masked view if you are developing for ios, you need to install the pods to complete your app auto linking cd ios npx pod install note linking is automatic for react native 0 60+ 0 60+ to all platforms, so if you are still using an older version of rn, take a look at react native docs https //reactnative dev/docs/linking libraries ios in your app entry file ( app tsx app tsx or app js app js ), add this import line at the very top of the file now you need to move your components inside the react navigation react navigation container, which will encapsulate your app inside a navigationcontainer navigationcontainer app tsx/app js 1 import "react native gesture handler"; 2 // your other imports go here 3 import { navigationcontainer } from "@react navigation/native"; 4&#x9; 5 const app = () => { 6 return \<navigationcontainer>{/ your app code /}\</navigationcontainer>; 7 } 8&#x9; 9 export default app; the core navigation library has different additional navigation modules like a stack, tabs, drawer, others stack navigator is the most straightforward one and the one that you will use in this guide proceed with the installation \# this is the navigator that you will use yarn add @react navigation/stack 2 creating a stacknavigator let’s now create and set up a stacknavigator stacknavigator this module will manage and handle screen navigation on your app since it’s not a goal here to give you a react navigation react navigation deep understanding, please go to the https //reactnavigation org/docs/hello react navigation/ to know more in your app js app js ( app tsx app tsx if you are using typescript) file, import and create a stacknavigator stacknavigator , create a function containing your user registration screen and insert the navigator inside your app navigationcontainer navigationcontainer your main file should look like this app tsx/app js 1 import 'react native gesture handler'; 2 import react from 'react'; 3 import {image, safeareaview, statusbar, text, view} from 'react native'; 4&#x9; 5 import asyncstorage from '@react native async storage/async storage'; 6 import parse from 'parse/react native';

16 const parse javascript id string = 'javascript id'; 17 parse initialize(parse application id, parse javascript id); 18 parse serverurl = parse host url; 19&#x9; 20 // wrap your old app screen in a separate function, so you can create a screen 21 // inside the navigator; you can also declare your screens in a separate file, 22 // export and import here to reduce some clutter 23 function userregistrationscreen() { 24 return ( 25 <> 26 \<statusbar /> 27 \<safeareaview style={styles login container}> 28 \<view style={styles login header}> 29 \<image 30 style={styles login header logo} 31 source={require(' /assets/logo back4app png')} 32 /> 33 \<text style={styles login header text}> 34 \<text style={styles login header text bold}> 35 {'react native on back4app '} 36 \</text> 37 {' user registration'} 38 \</text> 39 \</view> 40 \<userregistration /> 41 \</safeareaview> 42 \</> 43 );

60 }; 61&#x9; 62 export default app; if you run your app now, you will notice the inclusion of a header at the top of the screen containing your screen name 3 creating a login component let’s now build the userlogin userlogin functional component in your app create a new file in your root directory called userlogin js userlogin js ( userlogin tsx userlogin tsx if you are using typescript) and add the input elements using state hooks to manage their data userlogin js 1 import react, {fc, reactelement, usestate} from 'react';
