User logs in or registers ↓ 2. JWT token received from API ↓ 3. Token saved to secure storage ↓ 4. Token set in DioClient: dioClient.setAuthToken(token) ↓ 5. Dio interceptor automatically adds header to ALL requests: Authorization: Bearer {token} ↓ 6. All subsequent API calls include the token ``` ### Implementation ```dart // In lib/core/network/dio_client.dart class DioClient { String? _authToken; DioClient() { // Auth interceptor adds token to all requests _dio.interceptors.add( InterceptorsWrapper( onRequest: (options, handler) { if (_authToken != null) { options.headers['Authorization'] = 'Bearer $_authToken'; } return handler.next(options); }, ), ); } void setAuthToken(String token) => _authToken = token; void clearAuthToken() => _authToken = null; } ``` ### When Token is Set 1. **On Login Success:** ```dart await secureStorage.saveAccessToken(token); dioClient.setAuthToken(token); ``` 2. **On Register Success:** ```dart await secureStorage.saveAccessToken(token); dioClient.setAuthToken(token); ``` 3. **On App Start:** ```dart final token = await secureStorage.getAccessToken(); if (token != null) { dioClient.setAuthToken(token); } ``` 4. **On Token Refresh:** ```dart await secureStorage.saveAccessToken(newToken); dioClient.setAuthToken(newToken); ``` ### When Token is Cleared 1. **On Logout:** ```dart await secureStorage.deleteAllTokens(); dioClient.clearAuthToken(); ``` --- ## How to Use Auth in the App ### 1. Initialize Dependencies Already configured in `main.dart`: ```dart void main() async { WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); // Initialize dependencies (includes auth setup) await initDependencies(); runApp(const ProviderScope(child: MyApp())); } ``` ### 2. Login User ```dart import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart'; import 'package:retail/features/auth/presentation/providers/auth_provider.dart'; class LoginWidget extends ConsumerWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) { return ElevatedButton( onPressed: () async { final success = await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).login( email: 'user@example.com', password: 'Password123!', ); if (success) { Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/home'); } else { final error = ref.read(authProvider).errorMessage; ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar( SnackBar(content: Text(error ?? 'Login failed')), ); } }, child: Text('Login'), ); } } ``` ### 3. Register User ```dart final success = await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).register( name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com', password: 'Password123!', roles: ['user'], // Optional ); ``` ### 4. Check Authentication Status ```dart // Method 1: Watch isAuthenticated final isAuthenticated = ref.watch(isAuthenticatedProvider); if (isAuthenticated) { // Show home page } else { // Show login page } // Method 2: Get current user final user = ref.watch(currentUserProvider); if (user != null) { print('Welcome ${user.name}!'); print('Is Admin: ${user.isAdmin}'); } ``` ### 5. Protected Routes ```dart class AuthGuard extends ConsumerWidget { final Widget child; const AuthGuard({required this.child}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) { final isAuthenticated = ref.watch(isAuthenticatedProvider); final isLoading = ref.watch(authProvider.select((s) => s.isLoading)); if (isLoading) { return Scaffold(body: Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator())); } if (!isAuthenticated) { return LoginPage(); } return child; } } // Usage: MaterialApp( home: AuthGuard(child: HomePage()), ); ``` ### 6. Logout User ```dart await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).logout(); Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/login'); ``` ### 7. Role-Based Access Control ```dart final user = ref.watch(currentUserProvider); // Check admin role if (user?.isAdmin ?? false) { // Show admin panel } // Check manager role if (user?.isManager ?? false) { // Show manager tools } // Check custom role if (user?.hasRole('cashier') ?? false) { // Show cashier features } ``` ### 8. Refresh Token ```dart final success = await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).refreshToken(); if (!success) { // Token refresh failed, user logged out automatically Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/login'); } ``` ### 9. Get User Profile (Refresh) ```dart await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).getProfile(); ``` --- ## Example Login Flow Code Complete example from login to authenticated state: ```dart import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:flutter_riverpod/flutter_riverpod.dart'; import 'package:retail/features/auth/presentation/providers/auth_provider.dart'; class LoginScreen extends ConsumerStatefulWidget { const LoginScreen({super.key}); @override ConsumerState createState() => _LoginScreenState(); } class _LoginScreenState extends ConsumerState { final _formKey = GlobalKey(); final _emailController = TextEditingController(); final _passwordController = TextEditingController(); @override void dispose() { _emailController.dispose(); _passwordController.dispose(); super.dispose(); } Future _handleLogin() async { // Validate form if (!_formKey.currentState!.validate()) return; // Call login final success = await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).login( email: _emailController.text.trim(), password: _passwordController.text, ); if (!mounted) return; if (success) { // Login successful - token is automatically: // 1. Saved to secure storage // 2. Set in DioClient // 3. Injected into all future API requests // Get user info final user = ref.read(currentUserProvider); // Show success message ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar( SnackBar(content: Text('Welcome ${user?.name}!')), ); // Navigate to home Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/home'); } else { // Login failed - show error final error = ref.read(authProvider).errorMessage; ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar( SnackBar( content: Text(error ?? 'Login failed'), backgroundColor: Colors.red, ), ); } } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { // Watch auth state for loading indicator final authState = ref.watch(authProvider); return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Login')), body: Padding( padding: const EdgeInsets.all(24.0), child: Form( key: _formKey, child: Column( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center, children: [ // Email field TextFormField( controller: _emailController, keyboardType: TextInputType.emailAddress, decoration: const InputDecoration( labelText: 'Email', border: OutlineInputBorder(), ), validator: (value) { if (value == null || value.isEmpty) { return 'Please enter your email'; } if (!value.contains('@')) { return 'Please enter a valid email'; } return null; }, ), const SizedBox(height: 16), // Password field TextFormField( controller: _passwordController, obscureText: true, decoration: const InputDecoration( labelText: 'Password', border: OutlineInputBorder(), ), validator: (value) { if (value == null || value.isEmpty) { return 'Please enter your password'; } return null; }, ), const SizedBox(height: 24), // Login button FilledButton( onPressed: authState.isLoading ? null : _handleLogin, child: Padding( padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16.0), child: authState.isLoading ? const SizedBox( height: 20, width: 20, child: CircularProgressIndicator(strokeWidth: 2), ) : const Text('Login'), ), ), ], ), ), ), ); } } // App entry point with auth guard class MyApp extends ConsumerWidget { const MyApp({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Retail POS', home: Consumer( builder: (context, ref, _) { final isAuthenticated = ref.watch(isAuthenticatedProvider); final isLoading = ref.watch(authProvider.select((s) => s.isLoading)); // Show splash screen while checking auth if (isLoading) { return const Scaffold( body: Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()), ); } // Show login or home based on auth status return isAuthenticated ? const HomePage() : const LoginScreen(); }, ), routes: { '/home': (context) => const HomePage(), '/login': (context) => const LoginScreen(), }, ); } } class HomePage extends ConsumerWidget { const HomePage({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) { final user = ref.watch(currentUserProvider); return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: const Text('Home'), actions: [ IconButton( icon: const Icon(Icons.logout), onPressed: () async { await ref.read(authProvider.notifier).logout(); if (context.mounted) { Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, '/login'); } }, ), ], ), body: Center( child: Column( mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center, children: [ Text('Welcome ${user?.name}!'), Text('Email: ${user?.email}'), Text('Roles: ${user?.roles.join(", ")}'), const SizedBox(height: 20), if (user?.isAdmin ?? false) const Text('You have admin privileges'), ], ), ), ); } } ``` --- ## API Endpoints Used ### 1.
