React Social Authentication Client

React Social Auth

Client half of a decoupled OAuth setup for React: clicking a provider button opens a popup to the server, which does the actual OAuth dance and pushes the authenticated profile back here over a socket. Written in TypeScript.

Medium posts that detail this repo

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/funador/react-auth-client.git
cd react-auth-client
npm i && HTTPS=true npm start

Because of Facebook, HTTPS is required locally

Facebook requires every app talking to its API — including apps in development — to be served over HTTPS.

macOS

To add HTTPS to localhost, follow these instructions, then manually trust the cert in Chrome as described here.

You may also need to open a separate tab for https://localhost:8080 and accept the security warning before the client will push requests through.

Windows

Thanks to Le Gui PPF for these SSL-on-Windows instructions:

I spent a whole day figuring out how to generate a proper SSL certificate with all Chrome's requirements — see this answer and add the following to the v3 req section:

authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment

If you only want Twitter/Google/Github authentication (no HTTPS hassle), use the twitter-auth branch instead.

Server

This client just talks to a socket + a few OAuth routes — there's no client-side provider setup. Follow the instructions in the server repo to register each provider and get the server running.

Once the server's reachable, open https://localhost:3000.

Deploy

Deployed on Vercel, pointed at the deployed server via API_URL in src/config.ts.
