Where's the code that redirects to /login?

I'm trying to understand the root-application.js but cannot understand where's the code that redirects to /login when user's not authenticated. Can you help me understand it more?

Hi @jsoriao ! You are not able to find that code because it's not located in this repo 😄 .

As you can see in root-application.js file, the unique single-spa application that is mounted only in logged in routes is the single-spa-layout-app. For this reason, I decided to locate in that repository the needed code for redirect to login page if you try to access to a protected route without the required grants, in this case a simple JWT token.

You can find the code here:

https://github.com/jualoppaz/single-spa-layout-app/blob/master/src/App.vue#L23

beforeCreate() {
    if (!sessionStorage.getItem('token')) {
      window.history.pushState(null, null, '/login');
    }
    ...
}

I did it by this way for the reason I explained you, but you can choose so many other strategies like listening all route changes in your own root-applications.js file. It all depends on developer decision as there is no single-spa official way.

Hope this guidelines be useful for you.
