Account Section
Updated over a year ago

After your customers create their accounts and log in using their credentials, they will land at their account dashboard. The Account Section will be used within the /account page to give your authenticated customers access to their orders, address, and more. Before we create the /account page, let's create the Account Section.

  1. On your local environment, create a new folder inside src/sections and name it as Account.

  2. Create an index.js file inside the Account folder.

  3. Create a styles.module.css file inside the Account folder.

import * as React from 'react'
import { useCustomerActions, useCustomerState } from 'frontend-customer'
import Link from 'frontend-link'
import AuthGuard from 'Components/AuthGuard'

const Account = () => {
const { getAllAddresses, logout, updateDefaultAddress } = useCustomerActions()
const customerState = useCustomerState()

const { addresses, defaultAddress, email, displayName, firstName, isLoggedIn, lastName, status } =
customerState

React.useEffect(() => {
if (isLoggedIn) getAllAddresses()
}, [isLoggedIn, getAllAddresses])

return (
<section>
<h1>Your account</h1>
{isLoggedIn && (
<button onClick={logout}>Sign Out</button>
)}

<AuthGuard allowedAuthStatus="authenticated" redirectUrl="/account/login">
<Link href="/account/orders">Orders</Link>

<div>
<div>

<p>{displayName || [firstName, lastName].join(' ')}</p>
</div>

<div>
<strong>Email:</strong>
<p>{email}</p>
</div>

<div>
<strong>Password:</strong>
<p aria-hidden="true">********</p>

<Link href="/account/reset-password">
Change password
</Link>
</div>

{addresses && (
<div>
<strong>Addresses:</strong>
{addresses.length > 0
? addresses.map(
({ address1, address2, city, country, id, phone, province, zip }) => (
<div>
<address>
<p>{address1}</p>
{address2 && <p>{address2}</p>}
<p>{city}, {province}, {zip}</p>

<div>
<Link href={'/account/address?id=' + id}>Edit address</Link>
{defaultAddress && defaultAddress.id === id ? (
<strong>Default</strong>

<button onClick={() => updateDefaultAddress(id)}>
Make default

</div>

: ' n/a'}
<Link href={addressUrl}>Add new address</Link>

export default Account

Account page

With the Account Section ready, let's create the /account page:

  1. Click on the Pages icon from the sidebar.

  2. Click ADD PAGE on the top right corner.

  3. Enter the PAGE NAME: Account.

  4. Enter the PAGE PATH: account.

  5. If you want, you can select a Frame from the Frame dropdown.

  6. Click ADD PAGE.

Now, add the Account section to your Account page (if you are already on the Account page, skip to step 4):

  1. Click on the Pages icon from the sidebar.

  2. Search for "Account".

  3. Open the "Account" page by clicking on its title.

  4. On the sidebar, click on the + (plus sign) where it says "Add sections to start building your page".

  5. A list with all our Sections will appear, search for and select Account.

  6. Click SAVE.
