Flows

Check auth status​

This flow is part of the boot process. Usually in all our applications we need to discriminate between authenticated users and unauthenticated ones. On the src/Containers/App/TVAppContent.js file we check the status of the user, trying to refresh the auth token if possible.

Login with user/password​

This is a regular flow.

We have implemented a login screen on the src/views/Login folder. It contains a funtional keyboard, some input boxes and common buttons.

Pair device​

This is also a common flow for CTV devices.

Instead of use a login/password approach, here we ask the end user to go to a URL to login and input the exposed code.

Logout​

Finally we have included a logout flow from the profile screen.

This action cleans the user status of the application.

This will allow you to check how the application changes between different use states without the need of reload it.
