Pre-requisites: You need to set up your Kobble account.

Install the SDK

1

Install @kobbleio/react

Install the @kobbleio/react sdk with the provider of your choice.
2

Use the KobbleProvider

To use the SDK, you must wrap your App component with the KobbleProvider component.Here’s an example that also uses React Router:
3

Setup the environment variables

Create a .env file at the root of your project and add the following environment variables.
KOBBLE_DOMAIN and KOBBLE_CLIENT_ID can be found in your Kobble dashboard.
4

Create a callback handler

Install and configure React Router.
If you’re not familiar with React Router, you can check our router configuration here.
Then create a new page view to handle our callback src/pages/Callback.tsx.Use the <HandleCallback /> component to handle the callback and redirect the user to the home page automatically.

Hooks

The SDK exposes many hooks that you can use to interact with the authentication state of your application.

useAuth()

The useAuth hook allows you to get the authentication state of the user. Instead of using the kobble client instance, you can directly get the user object from the react context.

useAuthStateChanged()

The useAuthStateChanged hook allows you to listen for changes in the authentication state of the user. The callback function will be called with the user object when the user is signed in, and null when the user is signed out.
The callback may be called multiple times. For instance when you refresh the page it will be initially called with a null user and then the User object if authenticated.

useAccessControl()

The useAccessControl hook allows you to check if the user has the required permissions or quotas to access a specific resource.
You must attribute quotas and/or permissions to your Products from your Kobble dashboard for them to work.

Check permissions

Check remaining quotas

useKobble()

The useKobble hook allows you to get the kobble client instance that exposes various utility methods.

Get user state

Even if you can do it using the Kobble instance we suggest you do it using the useAuth hook explained above.

Get access and ID tokens

Listen for state changes

The onAuthStateChanged method allows you to listen for changes in the authentication state of the user. The callback function will be called with the user object when the user is signed in, and null when the user is signed out.
The callback may be called multiple times. For instance when you refresh the page it will be initially called with a null user and then the User object if authenticated.

Components

The SDK exposes a few components that you can use to interact with the authentication state of your application seemlessly.

<SignedIn>

The <SignedIn> component allows you to show content only when the user is signed in.

<SignedOut>

The <SignedOut> component allows you to show content only when the user is signed out.

<LoginButton>

The <LoginButton> component allows you to show a button that triggers the login flow and redirects the user to your authentication portal. You can use the component as it or pass it a child to customize it. Default usage:
Custom usage:
The onClick event will automatically get handled by the SDK, don’t pass any handler.

<LogoutButton>

The <LogoutButton> component allows you to show a button that triggers the logout flow. You can use the component as it or pass it a child to customize it. Default usage:
Custom usage:
The onClick event will automatically get handled by the SDK, don’t pass any handler.

<IsAllowed>

The <IsAllowed> component allows you to show content only when the user has the required permissions or quotas to access a specific resource. It takes a permission or quota prop that you can use to check if the user has the required permissions or quotas. Both permission and quota props can be either a string or an array of strings.

<IsForbidden>

The <IsForbidden> component allows you to show content only when the user doesn’t have the required permissions or quotas to access a specific resource. It takes a permission or quota prop that you can use to check if the user doesn’t have the required permissions or quotas. Both permission and quota props can be either a string or an array of strings.

<ProfileLink>

The <ProfileLink> component allows you to show a link to the user’s profile of your Customer Portal. It must take a child that will be used as the link text.

<PricingLink>

The <PricingLink> component allows you to show a link to the pricing page of your Customer Portal. It must take a child that will be used as the link text.

<HandleCallback>

The <HandleCallback> component allows you to handle the callback from the authentication portal and redirect the user to the desired page. It takes a navigate prop that you can use to redirect the user to the desired page after the callback is handled.
