Overview

AuthKit presents an efficient solution for integrating authentication into applications through two distinct methods. With its hosted UI option, developers can quickly add a fully customizable authentication flow that is ready for production use. Alternatively, for those who prefer a more hands-on approach, AuthKit allows for the creation of a custom user interface, taking advantage of its robust API capabilities.

These options empower developers to choose the level of customization that best fits their application, whether that means utilizing a pre-built solution or crafting a unique experience from the ground up. With the right setup, integrating authentication becomes a seamless part of any project.

Features

• Hosted UI: Quickly implement a fully themeable user interface for authentication, handling all flows without the need for extensive development.

• Custom UI Integration: For those wanting more control, AuthKit allows the construction of a self-hosted UI using WorkOS User Management APIs, offering complete customization.

• Custom Domain Support: Easily point your hosted UI to a custom domain (e.g., auth.yourapp.com) when moving to production, ensuring brand consistency.

• Quick Start Setup: Simple installation process with dependencies managed via npm or yarn, making it easy to get started.

• Environment Configuration: Securely manage your application’s credentials by easily configuring environment variables in the .env.local file.

• Redirects Management: Straightforward setup for configuring callback URLs in your WorkOS dashboard, ensuring your application handles redirect flows correctly.

• Local Development: Run examples locally with ease using simple commands, allowing for quick testing and iteration during development.

Harnessing the power of AuthKit can significantly streamline your application’s authentication processes while providing flexibility to meet your specific needs.
