Private Route with Redux and react router - reactjs

Question

I have a simple app with auth and private route, I want to get data from the server if the user has token, the back end is ready and works fine, and I log in I have data in redux about the user, but I don't know how to handle with refresh page, where should I do dispatch to call action? if I do it in privateRoute.js, it works strange I want to call server ones, but I did it 3-4 times.
Here are my components without calling sessionActions, sessionActions should update loggedIn and the user would go to /login pages
PrivateRoute
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Route, Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import sessionAction from '../store/actions/sessionAction';
const PrivateRoute = ({ component: Component, ...rest }) => {
const { path, dispatch, loggedIn } = rest;
});
return (
<Route
path={path}
render={(props) => (loggedIn ? <Component {...props} />
<Component {...props}/>
: (<Redirect to="/login" />))}
/>
);
};
PrivateRoute.propTypes = {
component: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
};
export default PrivateRoute;
sessionAction
const sessionAction = (path) => (dispatch) => {
return sessionServices(path)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
const { data } = response;
if (!data.error) {
dispatch(success(data));
}
dispatch(failure(data.error.text));
})
.catch((error) => error);
};
sessionService
import axios from 'axios';
axios.defaults.withCredentials = true;
const sessionServices = (path) => axios({
method: 'post',
url: `http://localhost:4000/api/pages${path}`,
})
.then((response) => response)
.catch((error) => console.log(error));
export default sessionServices;

You must dispatch the actions to fetch user data from the server in your App component which is the top-level component. Also, maintain a loading state in the reducer to render a Loader until the user data is fetched.
const App = props => {
useEffect(() {
this.props.sessionActions('/session')
}, []);
if(this.state.isLoading) return <Loader />;
const { loggedIn, user } = this.props;
return (
<Router>
{/* Your Private routes and other routes here */}
</Router>
)
}
const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
return {
isLoading: state.auth.isLoading,
user: state.auth.user,
loggedIn: state.auth.loggedIn
}
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, { sessionAction })(App);
