This repository contains several sample applications that demonstrate various Okta use-cases in your React application.
Each sample makes use of the Okta React Library.
If you haven't done so already, register for a free account at developer.okta.com. Select Create Free Account and fill in the forms to complete the registration process. Once you are done and logged in, you will see your Okta Developer Console.
Tip: You can also create an account using the Okta CLI and
okta register. To create an app, runokta apps createand use the settings below.
Register your application by selecting Applications > Add Application. On the next screen, choose Single Page App and click Next.
On the following screen, edit the application settings. For React applications running in developer mode, the port number should be 8080. Configure your app as follows:
- Base URI:
http://localhost:8080 - Login redirect URI:
http://localhost:8080/login/callback - Logout redirect URI:
http://localhost:8080
Once you have completed the form, you will be given a client ID. You will also need the issuer value for your Okta org.
The issuer is the URL of the authorization server that will perform authentication. All Developer Accounts have a "default" authorization server. The issuer is a combination of your Org URL (found in the upper right of the console home page) and /oauth2/default. For example, https://dev-133337.okta.com/oauth2/default.
These values must exist as environment variables. They can be exported in the shell, or saved in a file named testenv, located in the same directory as this README. See dotenv for more details on this file format.
ISSUER=https://yourOktaDomain.com/oauth2/default
CLIENT_ID=123xxxxx123Please find the sample that fits your use-case from the table below.
| Sample | Description |
|---|---|
| Okta-Hosted Login | A React application that will redirect the user to the Okta-Hosted login page of your Org for authentication. The user is redirected back to the React application after authenticating. |
| Custom Login Page | A React application that uses the Okta Sign-In Widget within the React application to authenticate the user. |
The samples include a page which accesses a protected resource (messages). To start the sample resource server:
npm run resource-server
In addition to the other environment vars, you will need credentials for a test user. Add the values for your Okta org and user in a testenv file.
ISSUER=https://yourOktaDomain.com/oauth2/default
CLIENT_ID=123xxxxx123
USERNAME=testuser@email.com
PASSWORD=testpassNOTE: The test suite expects you to use 8080 for your port number. Make sure your Okta app has the redirect URI if you want to test these samples.
With these variables set, you should be able to run npm test and bask in the glory of passing tests.
