How to use

The simplicity of this package is that all the included socials behave the same.

Setup your routes

To begin we will set up dynamic routes, that can handle each social on the fly

// app/routes/auth/$provider.tsx
import { ActionArgs, redirect } from "@remix-run/node"
import { authenticator } from '~/server/auth.server';

export let loader = () => redirect('/login');

export let action = ({ request, params }: ActionArgs) => {
  return authenticator.authenticate(params.provider, request);
};

// app/routes/auth/$provider.callback.tsx
import { LoaderArgs } from "@remix-run/node"
import { authenticator } from '~/server/auth.server';

export let loader = ({ request, params }: LoaderArgs) => {
  return authenticator.authenticate(params.provider, request, {
    successRedirect: '/dashboard',
    failureRedirect: '/login',
  });
};

Now you are free to include social buttons on the login page however you like

// app/routes/login.tsx
import { Form } from "@remix-run/react"
import { SocialsProvider } from 'remix-auth-socials';

interface SocialButtonProps {
  provider: SocialsProvider,
  label: string
}

const SocialButton: React.FC<SocialButtonProps> = ({ provider, label }) => (
  <Form action={`/auth/${provider}`} method="post">
    <button>{label}</button>
  </Form>
);

export default function Login() {
  return (
    <>
      <SocialButton provider={SocialsProvider.DISCORD} label="Login with Discord" />
      <SocialButton provider={SocialsProvider.GITHUB} label="Login with Github" />
      <SocialButton provider={SocialsProvider.GOOGLE} label="Login with Google" />
      <SocialButton provider={SocialsProvider.FACEBOOK} label="Login with Facebook" />
      <SocialButton provider={SocialsProvider.MICROSOFT} label="Login with Microsoft" />
    </>
  );
}

You will also need a logout route

// app/routes/logout.tsx
import { ActionArgs } from "@remix-run/node"
import { authenticator } from "~/server/auth.server";

export let action = async ({ request, params }: ActionArgs) => {
  await authenticator.logout(request, { redirectTo: "/" });
};

Create the strategy instance

For each social you want to use, you must initialise it in your auth.server.ts file.

// app/server/auth.server.ts
import { Authenticator } from "remix-auth";
import { GoogleStrategy, FacebookStrategy, SocialsProvider } from "remix-auth-socials";
import { sessionStorage } from "~/services/session.server";

// Create an instance of the authenticator
export let authenticator = new Authenticator(sessionStorage, { sessionKey: '_session' });
// You may specify a <User> type which the strategies will return (this will be stored in the session)
// export let authenticator = new Authenticator<User>(sessionStorage, { sessionKey: '_session' });

authenticator.use(new GoogleStrategy(
  {
    clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    callbackURL: `http://localhost:3333/auth/${SocialsProvider.GOOGLE}/callback`
  },
  async ({ profile }) => {
    // here you would find or create a user in your database
    return profile;
  }
));

authenticator.use(new FacebookStrategy(
  {
    clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    callbackURL: `https://localhost:3333/auth/${SocialsProvider.FACEBOOK}/callback`
  },
  async ({ profile }) => {
    // here you would find or create a user in your database
    return profile;
  }
));

Add a protected route and an automatic success redirect

Here's an example of a protected route

// app/routes/dashboard.tsx
import { useLoaderData, Form } from "@remix-run/react";
import { LoaderArgs } from "@remix-run/node"
import { authenticator } from "~/server/auth.server";

export let loader = async ({ request, params }: LoaderArgs) => {
  const user = await authenticator.isAuthenticated(request, {
    failureRedirect: "/",
  });

  return { user };
};

export default function Dashboard() {
  const { user } = useLoaderData();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome {user.displayName}!</h1>
      <p>This is a protected page</p>
      <Form action="/logout" method="post">
        <button>Logout</button>
      </Form>
    </div>
  );
};

You might also want your index route to redirect to the dashboard for logged in users.

// app/routes/index.tsx
import { useLoaderData } from "@remix-run/react";
import { LoaderArgs } from "@remix-run/node"
import { authenticator } from "~/server/auth.server";

export let loader = async ({ request, params }: LoaderArgs) => {
  const user = await authenticator.isAuthenticated(request, {
    successRedirect: "/dashboard",
  });
  return user;
};

export default function Index() {
  return (
    <div style={{ fontFamily: "system-ui, sans-serif", lineHeight: "1.4" }}>
      <h1>Welcome!</h1>
      <p><a href="/login">Please log in</a></p>
    </div>
  );
}
