👨🔧Basic Usage
Let's get your App authenticated!
In this guide, we assume that you have an OIDC-enabled authentication server in place, such as Keycloak.
If you have not yet set up such a server, please refer to our guide for instructions on how to provision and configure a Keycloak server.
import { createOidc } from "oidc-spa";
const oidc = await createOidc({
issuerUri: "https://auth.your-domain.net/realms/myrealm",
clientId: "myclient",
/**
* Vite: `publicUrl: import.meta.env.BASE_URL`
* CRA: `publicUrl: process.env.PUBLIC_URL`
* Other: `publicUrl: "/"` (Usually)
*/
publicUrl: import.meta.env.BASE_URL
});
if (!oidc.isUserLoggedIn) {
// The user is not logged in.
// We can call login() to redirect the user to the login/register page.
// This return a promise that never resolve.
oidc.login({
/**
* If you are calling login() in the callback of a click event
* set this to false.
*/
doesCurrentHrefRequiresAuth: false
/**
* Optionally, you can add some extra parameter
* to be added on the login url.
* (Can also be a parameter of createOidc `extraQueryParams: ()=> ({ ui_locales: "fr" })`)
*/
//extraQueryParams: { kc_idp_hint: "google", ui_locales: "fr" }
/**
* You can allso set where to redirect the user after
* successful login
*/
// redirectUrl: "/dashboard"
/**
* Keycloak: You can also send the users directly to the register page
* see: https://github.com/keycloakify/oidc-spa/blob/14a3777601c50fa69d1221495d77668e97443119/examples/tanstack-router-file-based/src/components/Header.tsx#L54-L66
*/
});
} else {
// The user is logged in.
const {
// The accessToken is what you'll use as a Bearer token to
// authenticate to your APIs
accessToken,
decodedIdToken
} = oidc.getTokens();
fetch("https://api.your-domain.net/orders", {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(orders => console.log(orders));
// To call when the user click on logout.
// You can also redirect to a custom url with
// { redirectTo: "specific url", url: "/bye" }
oidc.logout({ redirectTo: "home" });
// If you are wondering why ther's a decodedIdToken and no
// decodedAccessToken read this: https://docs.oidc-spa.dev/resources/jwt-of-the-access-token
console.log(`Hello ${decodedIdToken.preferred_username}`);
// Note that in this example the decodedIdToken is not typed.
// What is inside the idToken is defined by the OIDC server you are using.
// If you want to specify the type of the decodedIdToken you can do:
//
// import { z } from "zod";
// export const { useOidc } = createUseOidc({
// ...
// decodedIdTokenSchema: z.object({
// sub: z.string(),
// preferred_username: z.string(),
// // ... other properties
// })
// })
}This piece of code should give you the necessary information to understand how oidc-spa can be used inside your react components. To go further you can refer to the examples setup to see how to integrate oidc-spa with your routing library:
import { createReactOidc } from "oidc-spa/react";
export const { OidcProvider, useOidc, getOidc } = createReactOidc({
// NOTE: If you don't have the params right away see note below.
issuerUri: "https://auth.your-domain.net/realms/myrealm",
clientId: "myclient",
/**
* Vite: `publicUrl: import.meta.env.BASE_URL`
* CRA: `publicUrl: process.env.PUBLIC_URL`
* Other: `publicUrl: "/"` (Usually)
*/
publicUrl: import.meta.env.BASE_URL
});
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")!).render(
<OidcProvider
// Optional, it's usually so fast that a fallback is really not required.
fallback={<>Checking authentication ⌛️</>}
>
<App />
</OidcProvider>
);
function App() {
const { isUserLoggedIn, login, logout, oidcTokens } = useOidc();
return (
isUserLoggedIn ? (
<>
{/*

);
}
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
type Order = {
id: number;
name: string;
};
function OrderHistory(){
const { oidcTokens } = useOidc({ assertUserLoggedIn: true });
const [orders, setOrders] = useState<Order[] | undefined>(undefined);
useEffect(
()=> {
fetch("https://api.your-domain.net/orders", {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${oidcTokens.accessToken}`
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(orders => setOrders(orders));
},
[]
);
if(orders === undefined){
return <>Loading orders ⌛️</>
}
return (
<ul>
{orders.map(order => (
<li key={order.id}>{order.name}</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}If you get your OIDC parameters from an API you can passes an assync function that returns the oidc parameters. This function gets called when <OidcProvider /> is first mounted or when getOidc() is first called.
export const {
OidcProvide,
useOidc,
getOidc
} = createReactOidc(async ()=> {
const {
issuerUri,
clientId
} = await axios.get("/oidc-params").then(r => r.data);
return {
issuerUri,
clientId,
publicUrl: import.meta.env.BASE_URL
};
