Auth0 React Login

This sample demonstrates how to add authentication to a React application with Auth0. The sample makes use of Auth0's hosted login page which provides centralized authentication. The sample uses create-react-app.

Getting Started

If you haven't already done so, sign up for your free Auth0 account and create a new client in the dashboard. Find the domain and client ID from the settings area and add the URL for your application to the Allowed Callback URLs box. If you are using the server provided by the create-react-app, that URL is http://localhost:3000/callback.

Clone the repo or download it from the React quickstart page in Auth0's documentation. Install create-react-app globally and the dependencies for the app.

npm install -g create-react-app
cd 01-Login
npm install

Note: If you are not using create-react-app but are using Babel, you need to add the stage-0 preset.

Set the Client ID and Domain

If you download the sample from the quickstart page, it will come pre-populated with the client ID and domain for your application. If you clone the repo directly from Github, rename the auth0-variables.js.example file to auth0-variables.js and provide the client ID and domain there. This file is located in src/Auth/.

Run the Application

The development server that comes with create-react-app can be used to serve the application.

npm start

The application will be served at http://localhost:3000.

Run the Application With Docker

In order to run the example with docker you need to have docker installed.

You also need to set the environment variables as explained previously.

Execute in command line sh exec.sh to run the Docker in Linux, or .\exec.ps1 to run the Docker in Windows.

What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to:

  • Add authentication with multiple authentication sources, either social like Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, amont others, or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
  • Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
  • Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
  • Support for generating signed Json Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
  • Analytics of how, when and where users are logging in.
  • Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through JavaScript rules.

Create a Free Auth0 Account

  1. Go to Auth0 and click Sign Up.
  2. Use Google, GitHub or Microsoft Account to login.
