Refactor AuthProvider and httpHelper for Enhanced Security, Error Handling, and Testability
Refactor AuthProvider
Objective:
Refactor the AuthProvider component to improve the security of token handling, streamline state management, and enhance error reporting for a better user experience.
Requirements:
[x] Ensure that tokens are stored securely, considering alternatives to localStorage such as cookies with HttpOnly and Secure attributes.
[x] Refactor the login and logout methods to handle authentication states more predictably, ensuring state consistency across the application.
[x] Enhance error handling in the login method to provide more descriptive and user-friendly error messages.
[x] Include thorough unit tests for the AuthProvider, especially focusing on the login and logout functionalities.
Acceptance Criteria:
Secure storage mechanisms are used for sensitive information, reducing the risk of XSS attacks.
Authentication state transitions are handled smoothly, with proper updates and validations reflected in the UI.
Errors during login are clearly communicated to the user, improving their ability to troubleshoot issues.
The component's functionality is confirmed with a comprehensive set of unit tests, ensuring reliability and ease of future modifications.
Refactor httpHelper
Objective:
Enhance the httpHelper utility to improve flexibility, error handling, and ensure easy integration and testing within the application architecture.
Requirements:
[x] Implement comprehensive error handling across all HTTP methods, standardizing the error structure returned to the caller.
[x] Enhance configurability of the axiosInstance, including support for dynamic headers, timeouts, and other HTTP configurations.
[x] Ensure httpHelper includes support for interceptors for centralized request modifications and error logging.
[x] Design httpHelper to be easily testable, facilitating the development of unit tests for components that depend on network requests.
Acceptance Criteria:
httpHelper adapts to different backend communication needs with high flexibility and reliability.
Error handling is robust, with standardized responses that aid in debugging and user feedback.
