Implement User Account Management Pages
Overview
User account management is a crucial aspect of any application, allowing users to manage their profile information, security settings, and application preferences. In this article, we will delve into the implementation of user account management pages, covering the setup of account management routing and layout, profile display and editing, security settings, application settings, and safety records.
Setup Account Management Routing and Layout
The first step in implementing user account management pages is to set up the routing and layout for the account management section. This involves defining nested routes under a main account section, creating routes for distinct sections, and implementing a shared layout component for the account management section.
Define Nested Routes Under Main Account Section
To start, we need to define the nested routes under the main account section. This can be achieved by creating a new route for the account management section, for example, /account. Under this section, we can create routes for distinct sections, such as Profile (/account/profile), Security (/account/security), Settings (/account/settings), and Safety Records (/account/safety).
// Define account management routes
const accountRoutes = [
{
path: '/account',
component: AccountLayout,
children: [
{
path: 'profile',
component: ProfilePage,
},
{
path: 'security',
component: SecurityPage,
},
{
path: 'settings',
component: SettingsPage,
},
{
path: 'safety',
component: SafetyRecordsPage,
},
],
},
];
Create Shared Layout Component for Account Management Section
Next, we need to create a shared layout component for the account management section. This component can include navigation between the different sections, such as a sidebar or tabs.
// Create shared layout component for account management section
const AccountLayout = () => {
return (
<div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
<Link to="/account/profile">Profile</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/account/security">Security</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/account/settings">Settings</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/account/safety">Safety Records</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<main>
{this.props.children}
</main>
</div>
);
};
Implement Profile Display and Editing Page
The profile display and editing page is a crucial component of the user account management system. This page allows users to view and edit their profile information.
Display User Profile Information
To display user profile information, we need to fetch the user's profile data using the GET /api/v1/user/profile endpoint upon component mount. We can handle loading and error states during fetch using a loading indicator and error message.
// Fetch user profile data using GET /api/v1/user/profile endpoint
const ProfilePage = () => {
const [profile, setProfile] = useState(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('/api/v1/user/profile')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
setProfile(data);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(error => {
setError(error.message);
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
if (loading) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
if (error) {
return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
}
return (
<div>
<h1>{profile.username}</h1>
<p>{profile.email}</p>
<p>{profile.bio}</p>
<img src={profile.avatar} alt={profile.username} />
</div>
);
};
Editing Form for Profile Attributes
To provide an editing form for profile attributes, we need to create form fields for editable attributes, implement client-side validation for inputs, and handle form submission.
// Create editing form for profile attributes
const ProfilePage = () => {
const [profile, setProfile] = useState({
username: '',
bio: '',
avatar: '',
});
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('/api/v1/user/profile')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
setProfile(data);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(error => {
setError(error.message);
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
const handleInputChange = event => {
const { name, value } = event.target;
setProfile({ ...profile, [name]: value });
};
const handleSubmit = event => {
event.preventDefault();
fetch('/api/v1/user/profile', {
method: 'PATCH',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(profile),
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
setProfile(data);
setError(null);
})
.catch(error => {
setError(error.message);
});
};
if (loading) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
if (error) {
return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
}
return (
<div>
<h1>{profile.username}</h1>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<label>
Username:
<input
type="text"
name="username"
value={profile.username}
onChange={handleInputChange}
/>
</label>
<label>
Bio:
<textarea
name="bio"
value={profile.bio}
onChange={handleInputChange}
/>
</label>
<label>
Avatar:
<input
type="file"
name="avatar"
onChange={handleInputChange}
/>
</label>
<button type="submit">Save Changes</button>
</form>
</div>
);
};
Implement Security Settings Page
The security settings page allows users to manage their security settings, including email and password changes.
Email Change Section
To implement the email change section, we need to display the current email address, provide an input field for the new email address, and implement client-side validation for the new email address.
// Implement email change section
const SecurityPage = () => {
const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('/api/v1/user/email')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
setEmail(data.email);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(error => {
setError(error.message);
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
const handleInputChange = event => {
const { value } = event.target;
setEmail(value);
};
const handleSubmit = event => {
event.preventDefault();
fetch('/api/v1/user/email', {
method: 'PATCH',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ email }),
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
setEmail(data.email);
setError(null);
})
.catch(error => {
setError(error.message);
});
};
if (loading) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
if (error) {
return <div>Error: {error}</div>;
}
return (
<div>
<h1>Current Email: {email}</h1>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<label>
New Email:
<input
type="email"
value={email}
onChange={handleInputChange}
/>
</label>
<button type="submit">Save Changes</button>
</form>
</div>
);
};
Password Change Section
To implement the password change section, we need to provide input fields for the current password, new password, and confirm new password, and implement client-side validation for the new password.
// Implement password change section
const SecurityPage = () => {
const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
const [newPassword, setNewPassword] = useState('');
const [confirmNewPassword, setConfirmNewPassword] = useState('');
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
fetch('/api/v1/user/password')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
setPassword(data.password);
setLoading(false);
})
.catch(error => {
setError(error.message);
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
const handleInputChange = event => {
const { name, value } = event.target;
if (name === 'password') {
setPassword(value);
} else if (name === 'newPassword') {
setNewPassword(value);
} else if (name === 'confirmNewPassword') {
setConfirmNewPassword(value);
}
};
const handleSubmit = event => {
event.preventDefault();
if (newPassword !== confirmNewPassword) {
setError('Passwords do not match');
return;
}
fetch('/api/v1/user/password', {
method: 'PATCH',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
