Overview:

The useAuth system is a simple and quick setup designed for authentication in React apps. It requires an account with Auth0 or Netlify Identity and appropriate access keys. The setup involves installing a hook, configuring the Auth client, creating a callback page, and then enjoying the useAuth system for React app authentication.

Features:

  • Quick Setup: Designed to be quick and easy to set up with Auth0 or Netlify Identity.
  • Custom Configuration: Allows for configuring the authentication client with an AuthConfig component.
  • Callback Page Creation: Guides users on creating a callback page for OAuth providers like Auth0.
  • Authentication Utility: Provides methods like checking user authentication, login and logout triggers, and access to user object.
  • Peer Dependencies: Requires installation of authentication clients like auth0-js or netlify-identity-widget as peer dependencies.
  • Global State Management: Uses XState to manage authentication state globally.
  • Server-side Rendering Support: Ensures useAuth does not break server-side rendering, compatible with Gatsby, NextJS, etc.

Installation:

  1. Install the hook: Download from npm and add to your package.json using npm.
npm install use-auth
  1. Install Auth client: Install auth0-js or netlify-identity-widget depending on your preference.
npm install auth0-js
