@equinor/mad-auth v0.2.15

MAD AUTH

A simple authentication package used by the mad-team. It uses MSAL under the hood, and requires you to set up an app registration in azure.

Usage

You have to install react-native-msal in your app in order to make this work. react-native-msal is an archived package no longer maintained, but we have created a fork which you can find here. Install the newest commit by putting this in your package.json:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "react-native-msal": "git+https://github.com/equinor/react-native-msal.git#COMMIT_HASH"
    }
}

PS: you might need yarn installed on your computer for it to work.

After installing it, follow this guide if you use expo, or this guide for iOS setup in a bare react native project. Our fork of react-native-msal will not work for Android.

Next, add our provided LoginButton to your application:

export const LoginScreen = () => {
    const navigation = useNavigation<NavigationProp<RootStackParamList>>();
    return (
        <View
            style={{
                height: "100%",
                alignItems: "center",
                justifyContent: "center",
                flexDirection: "row",
            }}
        >
            <LoginButton
                redirectUri="msauth.com.equinor.mad.chronicles://auth"
                clientId="49222fe1-4e0a-4310-9e81-1a2c3eb9b2ed"
                onAuthenticationSuccessful={() => navigation.navigate("Root")}
                onAuthenticationFailed={() => console.error("Unable to authenticate")}
                enableAutomaticAuthentication
            />
        </View>
    );
};

The LoginButton provided by this package uses @equinor/mad-components's Button component. You can style it however you want. However, if you want to create your own LoginButton from scratch, you can do so by using the useAuthenticate hook. See the implementation of our LoginButton if you need some inspiration. Alternatively, you can create the login flow logic from scratch using the provided functions below.

This package provides a few basic functions you can use to either make your own login button, or use throughout the app:

If you are not using our login button, nor useAuthenticate, use this function to initate the authentication client:

initiateAuthenticationClient({clientId: string, redirectUri: string, authority?: string}): Promise<void>

To check if the authentication client exists, use this function:

authenticationClientExists(): boolean

To authenticate interactively, use this function:

authenticateInteractively(scope: string[]): Promise<MadAuthenticationResult | null>

To authenticate silently, use this function:

authenticateSilently(scope: string[]): Promise<MadAuthenticationResult | null>

To get account, use this function:

getAccount(): Promise<MadAccount | null>

Alternatively, you can use this hook to get account:

useAccount(): MadAccount | null
