React and Auth0 Starter Pack

This sample demonstrates how to renew access_tokens in a React application with Auth0 using checkSession. For more information, read our reference documentation.

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. The default URL is http://localhost:3000/callback. Also configure Allowed Web Origins to the default application URL http://localhost:3000.

Clone the repo or download it from the React quickstart page in Auth0's documentation.

Open the demo.

cd React-Auth0-Starter-Pack

Install the dependencies for the app.

npm install

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 demo comes ready to serve locally using react-scripts.

npm start

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

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, among 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.
