Quickstart to Userfront Integration with React: Making Authentication Fun! 🎉

Ready to add some super slick authentication to your React app in no time? 🚀 Let's dive into Userfront, where we'll make sure your users are securely signing up, logging in, and resetting passwords—all without breaking a sweat (or your code)!

Step 1: Getting Started in No Time ⏱️

Step 1.1: Install Userfront in Your React App

First things first, let’s get Userfront up and running. Open your terminal and hit:

npm install @userfront/next

Boom! You’re one step closer to authentication greatness. 😎

Step 1.2: Set Up Your Workspace ID

Remember that cool Workspace ID? It’s like your app’s VIP pass. Add it to your environment variables:

// .env.local

NEXT_PUBLIC_USERFRONT_WORKSPACE_ID="demo1234"

Don’t worry, you can always grab it from the Userfront dashboard if you forget.

Step 1.3: Wrap It Up with UserfrontProvider

Now, let’s make sure everything is nice and snug in your layout. Wrap your components with UserfrontProvider in your layout file:

// src/app/layout.js

import { UserfrontProvider } from "@userfront/next/client";

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <UserfrontProvider tenantId={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_USERFRONT_WORKSPACE_ID}>
          {children}
        </UserfrontProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

All set? Let’s move on! 🏃♂️

Step 2: Adding a Sign-Up Form Like a Pro ✍️

Step 2.1: Create the Sign-Up Page

Time to let users sign up! Create a new route and page for your sign-up form:

// src/app/signup/page.js

import { SignupForm } from "@userfront/next/client";

export default function SignupPage() {
  return <SignupForm />;
}

And just like that, you've got a sign-up form ready to rock! 🤘

Step 2.2: Try It Out!

Fill out that shiny new form and hit submit. 🎯 If all goes well, you’ll be redirected to your dashboard and a secure access token will be stored in your browser.

Step 3: Add Login, Reset, and Logout—The Trio of Power 💪

Step 3.1: Rinse and Repeat for Login & Reset

Follow the same steps to create login and reset password pages. You can handle these the same way as the sign-up form. Easy peasy!

Step 3.2: Secure Your Dashboard

Don’t want just anyone peeking into your dashboard? Protect that route by ensuring users are logged in:

// src/App.js

function RequireAuth({ children }) {
  let location = useLocation();

  if (!Userfront.tokens.accessToken) {
    return <Navigate to="/login" state={{ from: location }} replace />;
  }

  return children;
}

function Dashboard() {
  const userData = JSON.stringify(Userfront.user, null, 2);
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Dashboard</h2>
      <pre>{userData}</pre>
      <button onClick={Userfront.logout}>Logout</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Now your users need to log in before they can access the dashboard. 🔒
