Getting Started

Installation

Using npm in your project directory run the following command:

npm install @auth0/auth0-spa-js

From the CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.auth0.com/js/auth0-spa-js/2.23/auth0-spa-js.production.js"></script>

Configure Auth0

Create a Single Page Application in the Auth0 Dashboard.

If you're using an existing application, verify that you have configured the following settings in your Single Page Application:

  • Click on the "Settings" tab of your application's page.
  • Scroll down and click on the "Show Advanced Settings" link.
  • Under "Advanced Settings", click on the "OAuth" tab.
  • Ensure that "JsonWebToken Signature Algorithm" is set to RS256 and that "OIDC Conformant" is enabled.

Next, configure the following URLs for your application under the "Application URIs" section of the "Settings" page:

  • Allowed Callback URLs: http://localhost:3000
  • Allowed Logout URLs: http://localhost:3000
  • Allowed Web Origins: http://localhost:3000

These URLs should reflect the origins that your application is running on. Allowed Callback URLs may also include a path, depending on where you're handling the callback (see below).

Take note of the Client ID and Domain values under the "Basic Information" section. You'll need these values in the next step.

Configure the SDK

Create an Auth0Client instance before rendering or initializing your application. You should only have one instance of the client.

import { createAuth0Client } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';

//with async/await
const auth0 = await createAuth0Client({
  domain: '<AUTH0_DOMAIN>',
  clientId: '<AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',
  authorizationParams: {
    redirect_uri: '<MY_CALLBACK_URL>'
  }
});

//or, you can just instantiate the client on its own
import { Auth0Client } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';

const auth0 = new Auth0Client({
  domain: '<AUTH0_DOMAIN>',
  clientId: '<AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',
  authorizationParams: {
    redirect_uri: '<MY_CALLBACK_URL>'
  }
});

//if you do this, you'll need to check the session yourself
try {
  await auth0.getTokenSilently();
} catch (error) {
  if (error.error !== 'login_required') {
    throw error;
  }
}

Logging In

You can then use login using the Auth0Client instance you created:

<button id="login">Click to Login</button>
//redirect to the Universal Login Page
document.getElementById('login').addEventListener('click', async () => {
  await auth0.loginWithRedirect();
});

//in your callback route (<MY_CALLBACK_URL>)
window.addEventListener('load', async () => {
  const redirectResult = await auth0.handleRedirectCallback();
  //logged in. you can get the user profile like this:
  const user = await auth0.getUser();
  console.log(user);
});

Online Access

Set refreshTokenMode to RefreshTokenMode.Online (together with the required useRefreshTokens: true and useDpop: true) to use Online Refresh Tokens — non-rotating refresh tokens bound to the Auth0 session lifetime. The SDK injects the online_access scope and routes renewal through the refresh-token grant.

import { createAuth0Client, RefreshTokenMode } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';

const auth0 = await createAuth0Client({
  domain: '<AUTH0_DOMAIN>',
  clientId: '<AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>',
  useRefreshTokens: true,
  refreshTokenMode: RefreshTokenMode.Online,
  useDpop: true,
  authorizationParams: {
    redirect_uri: '<MY_CALLBACK_URL>'
  }
});

refreshTokenMode is a sub-option of useRefreshTokens: it defaults to RefreshTokenMode.Offline (the rotating refresh tokens described above) and must be set to RefreshTokenMode.Online for Online Refresh Tokens. Online mode requires both useRefreshTokens: true and useDpop: true. See Online Access in EXAMPLES.md for the full guide.
