Auth0 Login

Auth0 is a flexible, drop-in solution for adding authentication and authorization services to your applications. Your team and organization can avoid the cost, time, and risk that comes with building your own solution to authenticate and authorize users. You can check the Auth0 document for details.

We will show you how to use Auth0 with refine

Installation

Run the following command within your project directory to install the Auth0 React SDK:

npm i @auth0/auth0-react

Configure the Auth0Provider component

Wrap your root component with an Auth0Provider that you can import from the SDK.

index.tsx
import React from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";

import { Auth0Provider } from "@auth0/auth0-react";

import App from "./App";

const container = document.getElementById("root");
const root = createRoot(container!);
root.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<Auth0Provider
domain="YOUR_DOMAIN"
clientId="YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
redirectUri={window.location.origin}
>
<App />
</Auth0Provider>
</React.StrictMode>,
);
CAUTION

Refer to Auth0 docs for detailed configuration.

Override login page

First, we need to override the refine login page. In this way, we will redirect it to the Auth0 login page. We create a login.tsx file in the /pages folder.

/pages/login.tsx
import { AntdLayout, Button } from "@pankod/refine-antd";
import { useAuth0 } from "@auth0/auth0-react";

export const Login: React.FC = () => {
const { loginWithRedirect } = useAuth0();

return (
<AntdLayout
style={{
background: `radial-gradient(50% 50% at 50% 50%, #63386A 0%, #310438 100%)`,
backgroundSize: "cover",
}}
>
<div style={{ height: "100vh", display: "flex" }}>
<div style={{ maxWidth: "200px", margin: "auto" }}>
<div style={{ marginBottom: "28px" }}>
<img src="./refine.svg" alt="Refine" />
</div>
<Button
type="primary"
size="large"
block
onClick={() => loginWithRedirect()}
>
Sign in
</Button>
</div>
</div>
</AntdLayout>
);
};

After clicking the Login button, you will be directed to the auth0 login screen.

Auth Provider

In refine, authentication and authorization processes are performed with the auth provider. Let's write a provider for Auth0.

App.tsx
import { Refine, AuthProvider } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import {
Layout,
ReadyPage,
useNotificationProvider,
ErrorComponent,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";
import { useAuth0 } from "@auth0/auth0-react";

import "@pankod/refine-antd/dist/reset.css";

import { Login } from "pages/login";

import axios from "axios";

const API_URL = "https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";

const App = () => {
const { isLoading, isAuthenticated, user, logout, getIdTokenClaims } =
useAuth0();

if (isLoading) {
return <span>loading...</span>;
}

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
login: () => {
return Promise.resolve();
},
logout: () => {
logout({ returnTo: window.location.origin });
return Promise.resolve("/");
},
checkError: () => Promise.resolve(),
checkAuth: () => {
if (isAuthenticated) {
return Promise.resolve();
}

return Promise.reject();
},
getPermissions: () => Promise.resolve(),
getUserIdentity: () => {
if (user) {
return Promise.resolve({
...user,
avatar: user.picture,
});
}
},
};

getIdTokenClaims().then((token) => {
if (token) {
axios.defaults.headers.common = {
Authorization: `Bearer ${token.__raw}`,
};
}
});

return (
<Refine
LoginPage={Login}
routerProvider={routerProvider}
authProvider={authProvider}
dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL, axios)}
Layout={Layout}
ReadyPage={ReadyPage}
notificationProvider={useNotificationProvider}
catchAll={<ErrorComponent />}
resources={[
{
name: "posts",
},
]}
/>
);
};

export default App;

Methods

login

loginWithRedirect method comes from the useAuth0 hook.

logout

logout method comes from the useAuth0 hook.

checkError & getPermissions

We revert to empty promise because Auth0 does not support it.

checkAuth

We can use the isAuthenticated method, which returns the authentication status of the useAuth0 hook.

getUserIdentity

We can use it with the user from the useAuth0 hook.

Example

CAUTION

Auth0 example doesn't work in CodeSandbox embed mode. With this link, you can open the example in the browser and try it.

Run on your local
npm create refine-app@latest -- --example auth-auth0
