So, I am making a login form and I have already implemented the fetch API
const form = {
email: document.querySelector("#signin-email"),
password: document.querySelector("#signin-password"),
submit: document.querySelector("#signin-btn-submit"),
messages:document.getElementById("form-messages")
};
let button = form.submit.addEventListener("click", (e)=> {
e.preventDefault();
const login = 'https://ffcc-app.herokuapp.com/user/login';
fetch(login, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json, text/plain, */*",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: form.email.value,
password: form.password.value,
}),
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data))
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
});
I am also getting the desired output:
The problem is I have to redirect to the main page when 'login successful' else I have to display a message saying 'user does not exist'. how should I do that? What else should I add to my code?
const form = {
email: document.querySelector("#signin-email"),
password: document.querySelector("#signin-password"),
submit: document.querySelector("#signin-btn-submit"),
messages: document.getElementById("form-messages"),
};
let button = form.submit.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const login = "https://ffcc-app.herokuapp.com/user/login";
fetch(login, {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json, text/plain, */*",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: form.email.value,
password: form.password.value,
}),
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => {
console.log(data);
// code here //
if (data.error) {
alert("Error Password or Username"); /*displays error message*/
} else {
window.open(
"target.html"
); /*opens the target page while Id & password matches*/
}
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
});
login sucess and error handled by data.error as mentioned in your screenshot š https://i.sstatic.net/WJBh2.png
