React Redux Auth0 Kit
Minimal starter boilerplate project with CRA, React, Redux, React Router and Auth0 authentication
Overview
This is a minimal starter boilerplate project that includes React, Redux, React Router, and Auth0 authentication. It provides a live demo with a simple Facebook login via Auth0. The project aims to make it easy to add authentication to web applications using various authentication sources.
Features
- Auth0: Allows for authentication with multiple sources, including social media platforms (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and enterprise identity systems (Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, etc.). It also supports traditional username/password databases and can generate signed JSON Web Tokens for secure API calls.
- AuthService: Uses the auth0-lock library for user authentication and includes a module to manage local storage items. It uses the latest Auth0 Lock 10 version in popup mode for a seamless login experience.
- Libraries: Uses only the necessary libraries, including React for building user interfaces, Redux as a state container, React Router for declarative routing, and create-react-app for all the required tooling.
Summary
This minimal starter boilerplate project provides an easy way to add authentication to React web applications using technologies like React, Redux, React Router, and Auth0. It includes a live demo with a Facebook login via Auth0 and supports various authentication sources. The project also includes a AuthService module for managing authentication and a working example app that demonstrates the features in action.
- Create React App
Create React App is a popular tool for quickly setting up a new React project without the need for manual configuration or setup. It provides a preconfigured development environment with modern build tools, a live development server, and an easy-to-use command line interface.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
