Disable Authentication Temporary

Disabling authentication temporarily is generally not recommended due to security risks. However, if you have a specific scenario where you need to disable authentication for a short period, here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Comment out the AuthGuard wrapper for the routes within the below file: src/routes/MainRoutes.tsx

src/routes/MainRoutes.tsx
// import AuthGuard from 'utils/route-guard/AuthGuard';

...
...
const MainRoutes = {
    path: '/',
    element: (
        // <AuthGuard>
        <MainLayout />
        // </AuthGuard>
    ),
    ...
}

In the code snippet above, the <AuthGuard> a component is commented out, allowing the routes within the MainLayout component to be rendered without authentication protection. To enable the AuthGuard wrapper again, remove the comment markers (//) surrounding the <AuthGuard> component.

Remove Authentication Permanent

If you want to permanently remove authentication from a system or application, here are the steps to follow:

  1. Remove below authentication keys from .env file.

.env
...
...
## Firebase - Google Auth 
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY=
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_APP_ID=
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID=

## AWS
VITE_APP_AWS_POOL_ID=
VITE_APP_AWS_APP_CLIENT_ID=

## Auth0
VITE_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=
VITE_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=
...
...

  1. Removed below list of files and directory.

..
├── src
│   ├── ui-component\cards               
│   │   ├── AuthFooter.tsx
│   ├── context
│   │   ├── Auth0Context.tsx
│   │   ├── AWSCognitoContext.tsx
│   │   ├── FirebaseContext.tsx
│   │   ├── JWTContext.tsx
│   ├── hooks
│   │   ├── useAuth.ts
│   ├── views
│   │   ├── pages
│   │   │   ├── authentication (remove directory with all sub files)
│   ├── routes
│   │   ├── LoginRoutes.tsx
│   │   ├── AuthenticationRoutes.tsx
│   ├── types
│   │    ├── auth.ts
│   ├── utils
│   │   ├── route-guard (remove directory with all sub files)
...

Remove LoginRoutes and AuthenticationRoutes- Open file src/routes/index.tsx, and remove LoginRoutes, AuthenticationRoutes import.

src/routes/index.tsx
import { lazy } from 'react';
import { createBrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

// routes
import MainRoutes from './MainRoutes';
import SimpleRoutes from './SimpleRoutes';

// project imports
import Loadable from 'ui-component/Loadable';

const PagesLanding = Loadable(lazy(() => import('views/pages/landing')));

// ==============================|| ROUTING RENDER ||============================== //

const router = createBrowserRouter(
  [{ path: '/', element: <PagesLanding /> }, SimpleRoutes, MainRoutes],
  {
    basename: import.meta.env.VITE_APP_BASE_NAME
  }
);

export default router;

  1. Remove or change /login routes.

    1. If you want to remove routes - remove router component RouterLink or Link with to='' props.

    2. If you want to change url - set the home page URL like, to={DASHBOARD_PATH} , And import DASHBOARD_PATH from config file.

  2. Remove useAuth hook - Remove the below imports from throughout the project and set static values for user profile props.

import useAuth from 'hooks/useAuth';

  1. Remove axios interceptors response from ./src/utils/axios.ts file. So the final version should be look like below:

utils/axios.ts
import axios from 'axios';

const axiosServices = axios.create({ baseURL: import.meta.env.VITE_APP_API_URL || 'http://localhost:3010/' });

export default axiosServices;

// ==============================|| AXIOS - FOR MOCK SERVICES ||============================== //

export const fetcher = async (args: string | [string, AxiosRequestConfig]) => {
    const [url, config] = Array.isArray(args) ? args : [args];

    const res = await axiosServices.get(url, { ...config });

    return res.data;
};

  1. Remove import of JWTProvider from ./src/App.tsx

  2. Remove import and usage of AuthGuard from ./src/routes/MainRoutes.tsx

Disabling authentication within the system would render certain applications non-functional, particularly those reliant on backend APIs. These applications require a valid token to access and load data seamlessly.
