React - setCurrentUser - currentUser?.[data] not working
Hi!
I´m new with React, but I was able to create my own php API to connect to MySql and fetch data from the database and also made the login page work.
The thing is, I don´t know why when trying to display, for example, the currentUser?.first_name it returns undefined.
export function Login() {
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false)
const {saveAuth, setCurrentUser} = useAuth()
const formik = useFormik({
initialValues,
validationSchema: loginSchema,
onSubmit: async (values, {setStatus, setSubmitting}) => {
setLoading(true)
try {
const {data: auth} = await login(values.email, values.password)
console.log(auth);
if(auth.error == "0"){
saveAuth(auth)
const {data: user} = await getUserByToken(auth.api_token)
console.log(user)
setCurrentUser(user)
} else {
console.error(auth.message)
saveAuth(undefined)
setStatus("The login details are incorrect")
setSubmitting(false)
setLoading(false)
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(error)
saveAuth(undefined)
setStatus("The login details are incorrect")
setSubmitting(false)
setLoading(false)
}
},
})the console.log(user) returns with:
api_token: "6"
fisrt_name: "Marcos"
fullname: "Marcos Booz"
id: "6"
last_name: "Booz"
password: "XXXX"
pic: 1
username: "XXXX"After login, the router directs to the dashboard, but in the user menu, the User name is blank, even if I do a console.log(currentUser) it returns data as per the object above but currentUser?.first_name returns empty.
What possibly am I doing wrong?
Thanks!!

Guys, I found the solution!
The JSON I was getting from the API didn´t have the same format as the UserModel interface, so that´s why it was not setting user. Now it´s working just fine.
Hi Marcos,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
Glad to hear you already found a solution.
Yes, you should follow the default user object format. Or you can update object interface in src/app/modules/auth/core/_models.ts.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything more from us.

I believe the problem is that the user was not set and the currentUser is undefined, since when trying to get the first_name, it returns blank.
How can I check if the function setCurrentUser()is working in my login?
