Remove Authentication

This page describes how to remove auth from a theme

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 MainLayout element:

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

...
...
element: (
  // <AuthGuard>
  <MainLayout />
  // </AuthGuard>
),
...
...

In the code snippet above, the <AuthGuard> 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
...
...

REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=

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

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

// project import
import MainRoutes from './MainRoutes';
import ComponentsRoutes from './ComponentsRoutes';

import CommonLayout from 'layout/CommonLayout';
import Loadable from 'components/Loadable';

import { APP_BASENAME } from 'config';

// render - landing page
const PagesLanding = Loadable(lazy(() => import('pages/landing')));

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

const router = createBrowserRouter(
  [
    {
      path: '/',
      element: <CommonLayout layout="landing" />,
      children: [
        {
          path: '/',
          element: <PagesLanding />
        }
      ]
    },
    ComponentsRoutes,
    MainRoutes
  ],
  { basename: APP_BASENAME }
);

export default router;

export default axiosServices;
