How to handle user sessions in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up Your Adalo Database

  1. Start by creating a "Users" collection in Adalo.
  2. Add essential properties like Email, Password, Name, and any other user-specific attributes you need.
  3. Make sure the Email property is marked as "User Login".

Step 2: Create a Signup Form

  1. Drag and drop a form component onto the screen where you want the signup form.
  2. Link this form to the "Users" collection.
  3. Include fields like Name, Email, and Password.
  4. Set the form action to "Create" a new user in the Users collection.
  5. Go to the "Actions" section of the form and add a new action to "Log in the user" after the form submission.

Step 3: Setup a Login Screen

  1. Drag and drop an input field for "Email".
  2. Drag and drop an input field for "Password" and set its type to "Password".
  3. Add a "Button" and label it "Login".
  4. In the button’s action, use the "Log in" action and map the email and password inputs to the respective fields.

Step 4: Configure Successful Login Navigation

  1. In the button's action settings, add a second action after the "Log in" action.
  2. Set this action to navigate the user to their appropriate home screen or dashboard upon successful login.

Step 5: Use Logged-In User Data

  1. Go to any screen where you need to use logged-in user data.
  2. Click on a component to bind data.
  3. Select "Logged-In User" and choose the necessary properties like Name, Email, etc., to display or use in your app.

Step 6: Implement Logout Functionality

  1. Add a "Logout" button to your user settings or profile screen.
  2. Set the button's action to "Log Out the User".
  3. Add an additional action to redirect the user to the login screen upon logging out.

Step 7: Protect Screens for Logged-In Users Only

  1. Go to the screen you want to protect.
  2. Set visibility rules for components and elements using the "Is Logged In" status of the user.
  3. Restrict access to certain screens by adding conditional actions on app initialization to check if the user is logged in. If not, navigate them to the login screen.

Step 8: Test the Complete Flow

  1. Preview the app to make sure users can sign up, log in, and see their specific data.
  2. Verify that unauthorized users cannot access protected screens.
  3. Test the logout functionality to ensure it redirects to the login screen and clears the user session.

Following these steps will set up a robust user session management system in Adalo, ensuring both security and personalized user experience.
