Authentication

import { Sandpack, UseAuthPageInLogin } from "./sandpack.tsx";

Now our application is ready to use with layouts, views and notifications. Only thing left unstyled is the /login page. Refine provides <AuthPage /> components which works with Refine's auth hooks and uses the UI elements from the Ant Design.

<AuthPage /> component supports multiple views such as:

• Login page with type login which renders a login form with links to the other auth pages such as forgot password and sign up and works with the useLogin hook.
• Register page with type register which renders a register form and works with the useRegister hook.
• Forgot password page with type forgotPassword which renders a forgot password form and works with the useForgotPassword hook.
• Update password page with type updatePassword which renders a update password form and works with the useUpdatePassword hook.

Using <AuthPage /> Component

Now let's update our <Login /> component to use the <AuthPage /> from @refinedev/antd package. This component will provide a consistent look and feel with the rest of the application.

Update your src/pages/login.tsx file by adding the following lines:

import React from "react";
import { AuthPage } from "@refinedev/antd";

export const Login = () => {
  return (
    <AuthPage
      type="login"
      formProps={{
        initialValues: {
          email: "demo@demo.com",
          password: "demodemo",
        },
      }}
    />
  );
};

Now logout and try to login again. You will see the new login page with the Ant Design components.
