An SDK for using FusionAuth in React applications.
This SDK allows you to add login, logout, and registration buttons to your React application. You can do this via pre-built buttons, hooks, or higher-order components.
Your users will be sent to FusionAuth’s themeable hosted login pages and then log in. After that, they are sent back to your React application.
Once authentication succeeds, the following secure, HTTP-only cookies will be set:
-
app.at
- an OAuth Access Token -
app.rt
- a Refresh Token used to obtain a newapp.at
. This cookie will only be set if refresh tokens are enabled on your FusionAuth instance.
The access token can be presented to APIs to authorize the request and the refresh token can be used to get a new access token.
There are 2 ways to interact with this SDK:
- By hosting your own server that performs the OAuth token exchange and meets the server code requirements for FusionAuth Web SDKs.
- By using the server hosted on your FusionAuth instance, i.e., not writing your own server code.
If you are hosting your own server, see server code requirements.
You can use this library against any version of FusionAuth or any OIDC compliant identity server.
NPM:
npm install @fusionauth/react-sdk
Yarn:
yarn add @fusionauth/react-sdk
To configure the SDK, wrap your app with FusionAuthProvider
:
import React from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { FusionAuthProvider } from '@fusionauth/react-sdk';
import App from './App';
const container = document.getElementById('root');
const root = createRoot(container!);
root.render(
<FusionAuthProvider
clientID="" // Your FusionAuth client ID
serverUrl="" // The URL of the server that performs the token exchange
redirectUri="" // The URI that the user is directed to after the login/register/logout action
>
<App />
</FusionAuthProvider>
);
There are three pre-styled buttons that are configured to perform login/logout/registration. They can be placed anywhere in your app as is.
import {
FusionAuthLoginButton,
FusionAuthLogoutButton,
FusionAuthRegisterButton
} from '@fusionauth/react-sdk';
export const LoginPage = () => (
<>
<h1>Welcome, please log in or register</h1>
<FusionAuthLoginButton />
<FusionAuthRegisterButton />
</>
);
export const AccountPage = () => (
<>
<h1>Hello, user!</h1>
<FusionAuthLogoutButton />
</>
);
Alternatively, you may interact with the SDK programmatically using the
useFusionAuth
hook or withFusionAuth
HOC.
Use the useFusionAuth
hook with your functional components to get
access to the properties exposed by
FusionAuthContext:
import React from 'react';
import { useFusionAuth } from '@fusionauth/react-sdk';
const App = () => {
const { login, logout, register, isAuthenticated } = useFusionAuth();
return isAuthenticated ? (
<div>
<span>Hello, user!</span>
<button onClick={() => logout()}>Logout</button>
</div>
) : (
<div>
<button onClick={() => login()}>Log in</button>
<button onClick={() => register()}>Register</button>
</div>
);
};
See useFusionAuth for more details.
The withFusionAuth
higher-order component can be used to wrap your
components and give them access to a fusionAuth
prop which contains
all the properties exposed by the FusionAuthContext
. This works with
both functional and class components:
import React from 'react';
import { withFusionAuth, WithFusionAuthProps } from '@fusionauth/react-sdk';
const LogoutButton: React.FC<WithFusionAuthProps> = props => {
const { logout } = props.fusionAuth;
return <button onClick={() => logout()}>Logout</button>;
}
export default withFusionAuth(LogoutButton);
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withFusionAuth, WithFusionAuthProps } from '@fusionauth/react-sdk';
class LogoutButton extends Component<WithFusionAuthProps> {
render() {
const { logout } = this.props.fusionAuth;
return <button onClick={() => logout()}>Logout</button>;
}
}
export default withFusionAuth(LogoutButton);
See withFusionAuth for more details.
The login
and register
functions both accept an optional string
parameter called state
. The state that is passed in to the function
call will be passed back to the onRedirectSuccess
handler on your
FusionAuthProvider
. Though you may pass any value you would like for
the state parameter, it is often used to indicate which page the user
was on before redirecting to login or registration, so that the user can
be returned to that location after a successful authentication.
The RequireAuth
component can be used to protect information from
unauthorized users. It takes an optional prop withRole
that can be
used to ensure the user has a specific role. If an array of roles is
passed, the user must have at least one of the roles to be authorized.
import { RequireAuth, useFusionAuth } from '@fusionauth/react-sdk';
const UserNameDisplay = () => {
const { user } = useFusionAuth();
return (
<RequireAuth>
<p>User: {user.name}</p> // Only displays if user is authenticated
</RequireAuth>
);
};
const AdminPanel = () => (
<RequireAuth withRole="admin">
<button>Delete User</button> // Only displays if user is authenticated and has 'admin' role
</RequireAuth>
);
If you see the token exchange endpoint being called multiple times, this
is due to a dev time setting in React 18. When running using
StrictMode
in development mode, React 18 will mount, unmount, and
remount all components in this mode, which results in the network call
running twice.
This will not happen in a production build or if StrictMode
is
disabled.
If you remove the React.StrictMode
tags in index.tsx
of the example
app, the call is only made once.
See the FusionAuth React Quickstart for a full tutorial on using FusionAuth and React.
Use backticks for code in this readme. This readme is included on the FusionAuth website, and backticks show the code in the best light there.
There are several linting packages run when you push to a branch. One is prettier
. If this fails, you can fix the files from the command line:
- npm run install
- npm run prettier -- -w /path/to/file
Doing this will overwrite your file, but fix prettier's objections.
To perform a release to NPM, create a release on GitHub. That will automatically publish a release to GitHub.
This library may periodically receive updates with bug fixes, security patches, tests, code samples, or documentation changes.
These releases may also update dependencies, language engines, and operating systems, as we'll follow the deprecation and sunsetting policies of the underlying technologies that the libraries use.
This means that after a dependency (e.g. language, framework, or operating system) is deprecated by its maintainer, this library will also be deprecated by us, and may eventually be updated to use a newer version.
