Basic authentication with Auth0 and React.js

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Step # 1: Setup a React App

npx create-react-app auth0-started-with-react cd auth0-started-with-react npm start

Step # 2: Navigation in our app

npm i react-router react-router-dom Update index.js

// other imports
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
ReactDOM.render(
  <BrowserRouter>
    <App />
  </BrowserRouter>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);
serviceWorker.unregister();

Step # 3: Configure an application on Auth0.com

Allowed Callback URLs: http://localhost:3000/callback Allowed Web Origings: http://localhost:3000 Allowed Logout URLs: http://localhost:3000

Step # 4: Secure React App with Auth0

npm install auth0-js Create a new file Callback.js inside src Link: File

Step # 5: Fetch the user information sent by Auth0

npm install auth0-js Create a new file Auth.js inside src Link: File

Step # 6: Some changes in App

Update our App.js. Link: File Create a new file Home.js inside src Link: File

Final step: npm start

Optional: Deploy to Heroku

Let's create our app in Heroku:

heroku create <app-name> --buildpack mars/create-react-app

This will create an app on https://.herokuapp.com, make sure to update Auth.js redirect uri with this value.

The you'll need to change your code to use environment variables

• Update Auth.js to use:
  • process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN
  • process.env.REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID

And create those environment variables in Heroku:

heroku config:set REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=<domain>
heroku config:set REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>

Then, add the uptaded files to git, commit and then deploy by pushing to heroku master:

git push heroku master

Other Info

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
