App unmounts on page navigation

With Auth Provider when doing page navigation with createRootRouteWithContext seems like <Outlet /> gets remounted each time. I hit this issue with Convex Auth, so I tried to write my own Provider with Supabase and noticed same issue. It results in disappearance of shared components like <AppSidebar /> and re-checking auth each time page navigation happens. _authed.tsx:

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed')({
  beforeLoad: ({ context }) => {
    const { session } = context.auth;
    if (!session) {
      throw redirect({ to: '/signin' });
    }
  },
  component: AuthenticatedLayoutRoute,
});

function AuthenticatedLayoutRoute() {
  return <Outlet />;
}

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed')({
  beforeLoad: ({ context }) => {
    const { session } = context.auth;
    if (!session) {
      throw redirect({ to: '/signin' });
    }
  },
  component: AuthenticatedLayoutRoute,
});

function AuthenticatedLayoutRoute() {
  return <Outlet />;
}

_layout.tsx for authed pages

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed/_layout')({
  component: RouteComponent,
});

function RouteComponent() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main className="flex-1">
        <SidebarTrigger />
        <Outlet />
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed/_layout')({
  component: RouteComponent,
});

function RouteComponent() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main className="flex-1">
        <SidebarTrigger />
        <Outlet />
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}

app.tsx:

function InnerApp() {
  const auth = useAuth();
  return <RouterProvider router={router} context={{ auth }} />;
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <AuthProvider supabase={supabase}>
      <InnerApp />
    </AuthProvider>
  );
}

function InnerApp() {
  const auth = useAuth();
  return <RouterProvider router={router} context={{ auth }} />;
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <AuthProvider supabase={supabase}>
      <InnerApp />
    </AuthProvider>
  );
}

can you please create a complete minimal example by forking one of the existing stackblitz examples?

@Manuel Schiller It could be quite tough as it needs Convex or Supabase integrations to showcase that. But maybe let's start from another foot. I found this repo: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-saas/tree/main I tried to reflect the code from there for Convex Auth. My _authed.tsx layout example:

import { createFileRoute, Outlet, useNavigate } from '@tanstack/react-router';
import { useConvexAuth } from 'convex/react';
import { useEffect } from 'react';

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed')({
  component: AuthenticatedLayout,
});

function AuthenticatedLayout() {
  const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useConvexAuth();
  const navigate = useNavigate();

  useEffect(() => {
    // Redirect to sigin page if user is not authenticated.
    if (!isLoading && !isAuthenticated) {
      navigate({ to: '/signin' });
    }
  }, [isLoading, isAuthenticated, navigate]);

  if (isLoading && !isAuthenticated) {
    return null;
  }

  return <Outlet />;
}

import { createFileRoute, Outlet, useNavigate } from '@tanstack/react-router';
import { useConvexAuth } from 'convex/react';
import { useEffect } from 'react';

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed')({
  component: AuthenticatedLayout,
});

function AuthenticatedLayout() {
  const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useConvexAuth();
  const navigate = useNavigate();

  useEffect(() => {
    // Redirect to sigin page if user is not authenticated.
    if (!isLoading && !isAuthenticated) {
      navigate({ to: '/signin' });
    }
  }, [isLoading, isAuthenticated, navigate]);

  if (isLoading && !isAuthenticated) {
    return null;
  }

  return <Outlet />;
}

But this code results in unmounting <Outlet /> each time I navigate. This means that AppSidebar I have within _authed/_layout.tsx is dissapering each time I do page navigation.

import { AppSidebar } from '@/components/navigation/app-sidebar';
import { SidebarProvider, SidebarTrigger } from '@/components/ui/sidebar';
import { createFileRoute, Outlet } from '@tanstack/react-router';

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed/_layout')({
  component: RouteComponent,
});

function RouteComponent() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main className="flex-1">
        <SidebarTrigger />
        <Outlet />
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}

import { AppSidebar } from '@/components/navigation/app-sidebar';
import { SidebarProvider, SidebarTrigger } from '@/components/ui/sidebar';
import { createFileRoute, Outlet } from '@tanstack/react-router';

export const Route = createFileRoute('/_authed/_layout')({
  component: RouteComponent,
});

function RouteComponent() {
  return (
    <SidebarProvider>
      <AppSidebar />
      <main className="flex-1">
        <SidebarTrigger />
        <Outlet />
      </main>
    </SidebarProvider>
  );
}

when you say "unmount", what do you mean? re-render?

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

yes

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

or does it actually unmount and re-mount?

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

re-render would be probably the closest description. Basically when doing page navigation from one authenticated route to the other, AppSidebar dissapears.

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

you should narrow the terminology down. add some logs to find if it just re-renders or actually re-mounts

useEffect(() => {
    console.log('mounted')

    return () => {
        console.log('unmounted')
    }
  }, []);

useEffect(() => {
    console.log('mounted')

    return () => {
        console.log('unmounted')
    }
  }, []);

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

logs

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

log the isLoading value from useConvextAuth as well to make sure it's stable

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

here you go

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

inside the other useEffect as well

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

here you go, thanks for help:

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

so you see that isLoading toggles and thus causes the effect to run

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

i suspect this is due to the configuration of queryClient https://github.com/get-convex/convex-saas/blob/main/src/app.tsx#L14

query considers data to be stale by default

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

so upon each navigation, this beforeLoad refetches the data in the background, but causes the isLoading flag to toggle https://github.com/get-convex/convex-saas/blob/main/src/routes/_app.tsx#L10

I don't have that beforeLoad in my app at all

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

did you not copy that template? let's continue when you have a complete minimal example please

Hope this helps with debugging. I will be following this topic. Thank you for your help in advance. ideas?

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

cc @ballingt what's the expectation how useConvexAuth() should behave here?

absent-sapphire•8mo ago

Let's make a small repro like @Manuel Schiller is suggesting, since you're seeing this in Clerk + Convex, Convex Auth + Convex, or Supabase there's something deeper here looking ah sorry you did that with https://github.com/KarolusD/convex-tanstack-router-auth, checking it out now useConvexAuth() just exposes a {isLoading, isAuthenticated} boolean from higher in the React element tree, provided by <ConvexProviderWithAuth> which is usually wrapped by ConvexProviderWithClerk or ConvexAuthProvider or similar @Karolus do you have a convex version handy? What pages should I navigate between to see this?

ignore Tauri, just run pnpm run dev

absent-sapphire•8mo ago

@Karolus You're using a tags, so these are full reloads

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

^^ rookie mistake

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

omg sorry @ballingt to bother you... could have seen that myself thought it was some convex issue...

absent-sapphire•8mo ago

I want to make this kind of thing work with Start, where auth can block! But yeah keeping everything client side there will be some loading

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

sorry guys for trouble, I was testing the auth a component where just copy pasta from shadcn, so I forgot about that

absent-sapphire•8mo ago

nice, yeah that fixes

deep-jadeOP•8mo ago

thanks 😄 solved
