ReactJS is one of the major libraries used in building a single-page web application and simple mobile application development. React was developed by Jordan Walke, a software engineer at Facebook; the framework is currently maintained by Facebook. In this article, we will learn how to create user registration and login pages using ReactJS and Web API.
This article covers:
- Create a database and table
- Create a Web API Project
- Create React Project
- Install Bootstrap and React strap
- Add Routing
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of React.js and Web API
- Visual Studio
- Visual Studio Code
- SQL Server Management Studio
- Node.js

Create a Database and Table
Open SQL Server Management Studio, create a database named Employees, and in this database, create a table. Give that table a name like EmployeeLogin.
SQL
xxxxxxxxxx

1
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmployeeLogin](
2
[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
3
[Email] [varchar](50) NULL,
4
[Password] [varchar](50) NULL,
5
[EmployeeName] [varchar](50) NULL,
6
[City] [varchar](50) NULL,
7
[Department] [varchar](50) NULL,
8
CONSTRAINT [PK_EmployeeLogin] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

(
10
[Id] ASC
11
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
12
) ON [PRIMARY]

Create a Web API Project
Open Visual Studio and create a new project.
Change the name as LoginApplication and Click ok > Select Web API as its template.
Right-click the Models folder from Solution Explorer and go to Add >> New Item >> data.
Click on the "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" option and click "Add." Select "EF designer" from the database, and click the "Next" button.
Add the connection properties and select database name on the next page and click OK.
Check the table checkbox. The internal options will be selected by default. Now, click the "Finish" button.
Now, our data model is successfully created.
Next, we add a new folder named "VM." Right-click on it and add three classes — Login, Register, and Response. Now, paste the following code in these classes.
Login Class
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
public class Login
2
{
3
public string Email { get; set; }
4
public string Password { get; set; }
5
}
Register Class
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
public class Register
2
{
3
public int Id { get; set; }
4
public string Email { get; set; }
5
public string Password { get; set; }
6
public string EmployeeName { get; set; }
7
public string City { get; set; }
8
public string Department { get; set; }
9
}
Response Class
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
public class Response
2
{
3
public string Status { set; get; }
4
public string Message { set; get; }
5
6
}
Right-click on the Controllers folder and add a new controller. Name it as "Login controller" and add the following namespaces:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
using LoginApplication.Models;
2
using LoginApplication.VM;
Create two methods in this controller to insert and log in. Add the following code in this controller:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
59
1
using System;
2
using System.Collections.Generic;
3
using System.Linq;
4
using System.Net;
5
using System.Net.Http;
6
using System.Web.Http;
7
using LoginApplication.Models;
8
using LoginApplication.VM;
9
10
namespace LoginApplication.Controllers
11
{
12
[RoutePrefix("Api/login")]
13
public class LoginController : ApiController
14
{
15
EmployeesEntities DB = new EmployeesEntities();
16
[Route("InsertEmployee")]
17
[HttpPost]
18
public object InsertEmployee(Register Reg)
19
{
20
try
21
{
22
23
EmployeeLogin EL = new EmployeeLogin();
24
if (EL.Id == 0)
25
{
26
EL.EmployeeName = Reg.EmployeeName;
27
EL.City = Reg.City;
28
EL.Email = Reg.Email;
29
EL.Password = Reg.Password;
30
EL.Department = Reg.Department;
31
DB.EmployeeLogins.Add(EL);
32
DB.SaveChanges();
33
return new Response
34
{ Status = "Success", Message = "Record SuccessFully Saved." };
35
}
36
}
37
catch (Exception)
38
{
39
40
throw;
41
}
42
return new Response
43
{ Status = "Error", Message = "Invalid Data." };
44
}
45
[Route("Login")]
46
[HttpPost]
47
public Response employeeLogin(Login login)
48
{
49
var log = DB.EmployeeLogins.Where(x => x.Email.Equals(login.Email) && x.Password.Equals(login.Password)).FirstOrDefault();
50
51
if (log == null)
52
{
53
return new Response { Status = "Invalid", Message = "Invalid User." };
54
}
55
else
56
return new Response { Status = "Success", Message = "Login Successfully" };
57
}
58
}
59
}
Now, let's enable Cors. Go to Tools, open NuGet Package Manager, search for Cors, and install the Microsoft.Asp.Net.WebApi.Cors package. Open Webapiconfig.cs, and add the following lines:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
EnableCorsAttribute cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");
2
config.EnableCors(cors);
Create the React Project
Now, create a new ReactJS project by using the following command.
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
npx create-reatc-app loginapp
Open the newly created project in Visual Studio Code, and install Reactstrap and Bootstrap in this project by using the following command.
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
npm install --save bootstrap
2
npm install --save reactstrap react react-dom
Use the following command to add routing in React.
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1
1
npm install react-router-dom --save
Now, go to the src folder and add three new components.
- Login.js
- Reg.js
- Dashboard.js
Now, open the Reg.js file, and add the following code:
Java
xxxxxxxxxx
1

1
import React, { Component } from 'react';
2
import { Button, Card, CardFooter, CardBody, CardGroup, Col, Container, Form, Input, InputGroup, InputGroupAddon, InputGroupText, Row } from 'reactstrap';
