To build a secure payment app with third-party integration, it is crucial to implement user authentication. Authentication ensures that only authorized users can access certain features and perform actions within the app.

In React, we can implement authentication using the React Router library. React Router allows us to define different routes based on the user's authentication status.

Here's an example of how we can implement authentication using React Router:

JAVASCRIPT
1// Example authentication flow with React Router
2import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
3
4const App = () => {
5  const isAuthenticated = checkAuthentication(); // Function to check if user is authenticated
6
7  return (
8    <Router>
9      <Route exact path='/login' component={LoginPage} />
10      <Route exact path='/dashboard' render={() => (
11        isAuthenticated ? (
12          <DashboardPage />
13        ) : (
14          <Redirect to='/login' />
15        )
16      )} />
17    </Router>
18  );
19};
20
21const LoginPage = () => {
22  // Login form and logic
23};
24
25const DashboardPage = () => {
26  // Dashboard content and logic
27};
28
29const checkAuthentication = () => {
30  // Check if user is authenticated
31};
