Exploring Profile Management and Authentication with React-Admin | Episode 160
In this video, I dove into developing a React-Admin front-end for user profiles, focusing on authentication flows and improving the layout for practical usage. I explored integrating Cognito for login management, including the challenges and nuances of passkey support and the use of hosted login pages. While working on implementing these features, I shared insights on debugging and handling AWS configurations, such as granting temporary credentials for service access securely.
Beyond authentication, I improved the profile page, refactoring it into an informational card and adding sections for user-specific fields like time zones, Twitch credentials, and stream tags. As part of future-proofing the project, I discussed transitioning from the local browser-based data provider to a custom API with secure Cognito session validation.
Additionally, I tackled creating custom components, such as a Twitch callback page, and worked through refining TypeScript handling for token validation and error states. This session highlights the step-by-step process of enhancing React-Admin components for real-world applications, along with debugging and live coding insights.
Check out my progress and stay tuned for more updates as I continue optimizing this project!
