This sample demonstrates how to include user authorization in a React application with Auth0. The sample uses create-react-app.

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. If you are using the server provided by the create-react-app, that URL is http://localhost:3000/callback.

Clone the repo or download it from the React quickstart page in Auth0's documentation. Install create-react-app globally and the dependencies for the app.

npm install -g create-react-app
cd 04-Authorization
npm install

Note: If you are not using create-react-app but are using Babel, you need to add the stage-0 preset.

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/.

You should also provide the identifier for the API you create in the Auth0 dashboard as your apiUrl.

In addition to the above-mentioned auth0-variables.js file, a .env file is provided at the root of the application. This file provides your application's credentials to the small Node server located in server.js.

This file has two values, AUTH0_AUDIENCE and AUTH0_DOMAIN. If you download this sample from the quickstart page, the value for AUTH0_DOMAIN will be populated automatically, but you will still need to populate AUTH0_AUDIENCE manually. The value for AUTH0_AUDIENCE is the identifier used for an API that you create in the Auth0 dashboard.

The development server that comes with create-react-app can be used to serve the application.

npm start

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

In order to run the example with docker you need to have docker installed.

You also need to set the environment variables as explained previously.

Execute in command line sh exec.sh to run the Docker in Linux, or .\exec.ps1 to run the Docker in Windows.

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.

1. Go to Auth0 and click Sign Up.
2. Use Google, GitHub or Microsoft Account to login.
