Early Access

@auth0/auth0-react is in Early Access in order to get feedback to shape its design. That means:

  • It is under active development so breaking changes are expected and we will do our best to communicate them.
  • This is a private preview to Auth0 employees only.
  • The library is not published onto npm.
  • Feedback is actively solicited with the SDKs team.
  • Full reviews and an audit of the library have not been completed.

Table of Contents

Installation

For Early Access, download the binary from the releases page: auth0-auth0-react-0.3.1.tgz.

Then install it from the folder you downloaded it to:

npm install ~/Downloads/auth0-auth0-react-0.3.1.tgz

Getting Started

Configure the SDK by wrapping your application in Auth0Provider:

// src/index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Auth0Provider } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Auth0Provider
    domain="YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN"
    clientId="YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID"
    redirectUri={window.location.origin}
  >
    <App />
  </Auth0Provider>,
  document.getElementById('app')
);

Use the useAuth0 hook in your components to access authentication state (isLoading, isAuthenticated and user) and authentication methods (loginWithRedirect and logout):

// src/App.js
import React from 'react';
import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

function App() {
  const {
    isLoading,
    isAuthenticated,
    error,
    user,
    loginWithRedirect,
    logout,
  } = useAuth0();

  if (isLoading) {
    return <div>Loading...</div>;
  }
  if (error) {
    return <div>Oops... {error.message}</div>;
  }

  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return (
      <div>
        Hello {user.name} <button onClick={logout}>Log out</button>
      </div>
    );
  } else {
    return <button onClick={loginWithRedirect}>Log in</button>;
  }
}

export default App;

Other Use Cases

Class Components

Use the withAuth0 higher order component to add the auth0 property to Class components:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

class Profile extends Component {
  render() {
    const { user } = this.props.auth0;
    return <div>Hello {user.name}</div>;
  }
}

export default withAuth0(Profile);

Protecting Routes

Protect a route component using the withAuthenticationRequired higher order component. Visits to this route when unauthenticated will redirect the user to the login page and back to this page after login:

import React from 'react';
import { withAuthenticationRequired } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

// Show a message while the user waits to be redirected to the login page.
const Redirecting = () => <div>Redirecting you to the login page...</div>;

const PrivateRoute = () => <div>Private</div>;

export default withAuthenticationRequired(PrivateRoute, Redirecting);

Access an API

Use a protected API with an Access Token:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

const Posts = () => {
  const { getAccessTokenSilently } = useAuth0();
  const [posts, setPosts] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      const token = await getAccessTokenSilently({
        audience: 'https://api.example.com/',
        scope: 'read:posts',
      });
      const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/posts', {
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
        },
      });
      setPosts(await response.json());
    })();
  }, [getAccessTokenSilently]);

  if (!posts) {
    return <div>Loading...</div>;
  }

  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post, index) => {
        return <li key={index}>{post}</li>;
      })}
    </ul>
  );
};

export default Posts;

What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to easily:

  • Implement authentication with multiple identity providers, including social (e.g., Google, Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, etc), or enterprise (e.g., Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS, SAML, etc.)
  • Log in users with username/password databases, passwordless, or multi-factor authentication
  • Link multiple user accounts together
  • Generate signed JSON Web Tokens to authorize your API calls and flow the user identity securely
  • Access demographics and analytics detailing how, when, and where users are logging in
  • Enrich user profiles from other data sources using customizable JavaScript rules
