An Auth0AuthProvider for react-admin

Installation

yarn add ra-auth-auth0
# or
npm install --save ra-auth-auth0

Example usage

// in src/App.tsx
import React, { useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'react';
import { Admin, Resource } from 'react-admin';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Auth0AuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-auth0';
import { Auth0Client } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';
import dataProvider from './dataProvider';
import posts from './posts';

const auth0 = new Auth0Client({
    domain: import.meta.env.VITE_AUTH0_DOMAIN,
    clientId: import.meta.env.VITE_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
    cacheLocation: 'localstorage',
    authorizationParams: {
        audience: import.meta.env.VITE_AUTH0_AUDIENCE,
    },
});

const authProvider = Auth0AuthProvider(auth0, {
    loginRedirectUri: import.meta.env.VITE_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL,
    logoutRedirectUri: import.meta.env.VITE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL,
});

const App = () => {
    return (
        <BrowserRouter>
            <Admin
                authProvider={authProvider}
                dataProvider={dataProvider}
            >
                <Resource name="posts" {...posts} />
            </Admin>
        </BrowserRouter>
    );
};
export default App;

Note: You need to wrap your app in a BrowserRouter component from react-router-dom for the Auth0AuthProvider to work.

`Auth0AuthProvider` Parameters

loginRedirectUri - optional - URI used to override the redirect URI after successful login. Defaults to react-admin /auth-callback route.
logoutRedirectUri - optional - URI used to override the redirect URI after successful logout. Defaults to the current url.
redirectOnCheckAuth - optional - If set to true (the default), redirect users to the Auth0 login page inside the checkAuth method. Set it to false if you want users to go through a custom login page first.

Passing The Auth0 Token To Your Backend

If you want to pass the Auth0 authentication token to your backend, you can use the httpClient exported by this package. For instance, here's how to use it with the ra-data-json-server dataProvider:

import jsonServerProvider from 'ra-data-json-server';
import { Auth0Client } from './auth0';
const dataProvider = jsonServerProvider('http://localhost:3000', httpClient(auth0));

Handling Permissions

In order to get the users roles directly from Auth0, you have to configure it so that it includes them in the authentication token. This is done by adding an Action to the login flow.

The authProvider exported by this package will look for a claim that has a name with the term role in it and return its value. To change this behavior, override the getPermissions method:

import { Auth0AuthProvider } from 'ra-auth-auth0';
import { Auth0Client } from './auth0';

const authProvider = {
    ...Auth0AuthProvider(Auth0Client),
    async getPermissions() {
        if (!(await client.isAuthenticated())) {
            return;
        }

        const claims = await client.getIdTokenClaims();
        return claims['https://my-app.example.com/roles'];
    }
}
