react-native-oidc-client v1.5.2

react-native-oidc-client

This is a pure javascript implementation of an OpenID Connect client for react-native. It does not rely on any native components for android or ios. The Browser is used as a confidential client to authenticate with your OpenID Provider.

The implementation follows the specifications described in OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

Usage:

Prepare your config:

const config = {
        response_type: 'code',
        scope: 'openid profile offline_access',
        client_id: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        client_secret:
            'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        redirect_uri: 'https://com.example',
        acr_values: 'http://oidc.contact.de',
        acr: 'default',
        prompt: 'consent login',
        authority: 'https://youroidcprovider',
        browser_type: 'default',
    };

Create the client and call authorize:

const client = new Client(config);
const tokenResponse = await client.authorize();

You will get a access token response as a result of authorize(). The token response will be stored in the AsyncStorage of react-native by default. You can also get the access token by calling the getToken() Method of your OIDC Client.

const accessToken = await client.getToken();

Mount the RedirectComponent in your app tree:

<App>
    <SomeComponents>...</SomeComponents>
    <RedirectComponent />
</App>

The <RedirectComponent /> has to be mounted somewhere in your app tree to handle the redirect from your system browser.

Setup redirect url:

Android:

Add to you main <Activity> in your AndroidManifest.xml an <intent-filter>

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data android:scheme="https" android:host="com.example"/>
</intent-filter>

IOS:

Coming soon.

Browser Behaviour

By default, a separate browser window will be opened for the login. You can change this to open the browser inside your app by installing the InAppBrowser for React Native and setting the browser_type field of your config to inapp.
