How to Use Auth0 with React

To integrate Auth0 with a React application, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create an Auth0 account: Sign up for an account on the Auth0 website. Once you have created an account, you can create a new application to get the necessary credentials.

  2. Install the Auth0 SDK: In your React project, navigate to the root directory and install the Auth0 SDK by running the following command:

    npm install @auth0/auth0-react
    
  3. Configure Auth0 Provider: Create a new file, Auth0Provider.js, and import the necessary modules:

    import React from 'react';
    import { Auth0Provider } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
    
    const Auth0ProviderWithHistory = ({ children }) => {
      const domain = process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN;
      const clientId = process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID;
      const audience = process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH0_AUDIENCE;
    
      return (
        <Auth0Provider
          domain={domain}
          clientId={clientId}
          audience={audience}
          redirectUri={window.location.origin}
        >
          {children}
        </Auth0Provider>
      );
    };
    
    export default Auth0ProviderWithHistory;
    

    Make sure to replace REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN, REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, and REACT_APP_AUTH0_AUDIENCE with your own Auth0 credentials.

  4. Wrap your app with Auth0Provider: In your index.js file, import the Auth0ProviderWithHistory component and wrap your app with it:

    import React from 'react';
    import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
    import App from './App';
    import Auth0ProviderWithHistory from './Auth0Provider';
    
    ReactDOM.render(
      <Auth0ProviderWithHistory>
        <App />
      </Auth0ProviderWithHistory>,
      document.getElementById('root')
    );
    
  5. Use Auth0 hooks and components: Now you can start using the Auth0 hooks and components in your React components. For example, to display a login button, you can use the useAuth0 hook:

    import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
    
    const LoginButton = () => {
      const { loginWithRedirect } = useAuth0();
    
      return <button onClick={() => loginWithRedirect()}>Log In</button>;
    };
    

    You can find more examples and documentation on how to use Auth0 with React in the Auth0 React SDK documentation.

By following these steps, you can easily integrate Auth0 with your React application and provide a secure and seamless authentication experience for your users.
