Kinde Starter Kit - JavaScript

Register an account on Kinde

To get started set up an account on Kinde.

Setup your local environment

Clone this repo.

We are using the hosted version of the Kinde SDK for simplicity so no install required.

Make a copy of .env.example and name it simply .env. Set the following values from the Kinde Settings -> Applications -> Frontend app page.

  • VITE_KINDE_CLIENT_ID with the Client ID value
  • VITE_KINDE_DOMAIN with the Domain value

e.g

VITE_KINDE_CLIENT_ID=<your_kinde_client_id>
VITE_KINDE_DOMAIN=https://<your_kinde_subdomain>.kinde.com

In the code block above replace the following placeholders with values from your Kinde. These are found under Settings -> Applications -> Frontend app

  • https://<your_kinde_subdomain>.kinde.com with the Domain value
  • <your_kinde_client_id> with the Client ID value.

Set your Callback and Logout URLs

Your user will be redirected to Kinde to authenticate. After they have logged in or registered they will be redirected back to your React application.

You need to specify in Kinde which url you would like your user to be redirected to in order to authenticate your app.

On the Settings -> Applications -> Frontend app page set Allowed callback URLs to http://localhost:3000

Important! This is required for your users to successfully log in to your app.

You will also need to set the url they will be redirected to upon logout. Set the Allowed logout redirect URLs to http://localhost:3000.

Start your app

Run npm run dev and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

Click on Sign up and register your first user for your business!
