​
Complete Example

1

Install Dependencies

First, install logto-authkit and its peer dependencies:
npm install @ouim/logto-authkit @logto/react
2

Configure Logto Provider

Wrap your app with the AuthProvider to enable authentication throughout your application:
App.tsx
import { AuthProvider } from '@ouim/logto-authkit'
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom'
import Home from './pages/Home'
import Dashboard from './pages/Dashboard'
import CallbackPage from './pages/Callback'
import SignIn from './pages/SignIn'

function App() {
  return (
    <AuthProvider
      config={{
        endpoint: 'https://your-tenant.logto.app',
        appId: 'your-app-id',
        resources: ['https://api.yourapp.com'],
        scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'email'],
      }}
      callbackUrl="http://localhost:3000/callback"
      enablePopupSignIn={true}
    >
      <BrowserRouter>
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
          <Route path="/dashboard" element={<Dashboard />} />
          <Route path="/callback" element={<CallbackPage />} />
          <Route path="/signin" element={<SignIn />} />
        </Routes>
      </BrowserRouter>
    </AuthProvider>
  )
}

export default App
3

Create Home Page

Build a landing page with sign-in functionality:
pages/Home.tsx
import { useAuth, UserCenter } from '@ouim/logto-authkit'
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom'

export default function Home() {
  const { user, isLoadingUser, signIn } = useAuth()
  const navigate = useNavigate()

  if (isLoadingUser) {
    return (
      <div className="flex items-center justify-center min-h-screen">
        <div className="animate-spin rounded-full h-12 w-12 border-b-2 border-gray-900"></div>
      </div>
    )
  }

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-50">
      <nav className="bg-white shadow">
        <div className="max-w-7xl mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
          <div className="flex justify-between h-16">
            <div className="flex items-center">
              <h1 className="text-xl font-bold">My App</h1>
            </div>
            <div className="flex items-center">
              <UserCenter
                additionalPages={[
                  {
                    link: '/dashboard',
                    text: 'Dashboard',
                    icon: <span>📊</span>,
                  },
                ]}
              />
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </nav>

      <main className="max-w-7xl mx-auto py-12 px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
        <div className="text-center">
          <h2 className="text-4xl font-bold text-gray-900 mb-4">
            Welcome to logto-authkit
          </h2>
          <p className="text-xl text-gray-600 mb-8">
            A simplified authentication solution for React applications
          </p>

          {user ? (
            <div>
              <p className="text-lg mb-4">
                Hello, {user.name || user.email}!
              </p>
              <button
                onClick={() => navigate('/dashboard')}
                className="bg-blue-600 text-white px-6 py-3 rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700"
              >
                Go to Dashboard
              </button>
            </div>
          ) : (
            <button
              onClick={() => signIn()}
              className="bg-blue-600 text-white px-6 py-3 rounded-lg hover:bg-blue-700"
            >
              Sign In
            </button>
          )}
        </div>
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}

Create Protected Dashboard

Build a protected dashboard page that requires authentication:
pages/Dashboard.tsx
import { useAuth, UserCenter } from '@ouim/logto-authkit'
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom'

export default function Dashboard() {
  const { user, isLoadingUser } = useAuth({
    middleware: 'auth',
    redirectTo: '/signin',
  })
  const navigate = useNavigate()

  if (isLoadingUser) {
    return (
      <div className="flex items-center justify-center min-h-screen">
        <div className="animate-spin rounded-full h-12 w-12 border-b-2 border-gray-900"></div>
      </div>
    )
  }

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-50">
      <nav className="bg-white shadow">
        <div className="max-w-7xl mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
          <div className="flex justify-between h-16">
            <div className="flex items-center">
              <button
                onClick={() => navigate('/')}
                className="text-xl font-bold hover:text-blue-600"
              >
                My App
              </button>
            </div>
            <div className="flex items-center">
              <UserCenter />
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </nav>

      <main className="max-w-7xl mx-auto py-12 px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
        <div className="bg-white shadow rounded-lg p-6">
          <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Dashboard</h2>

          <div className="space-y-4">
            <div className="border-l-4 border-blue-500 pl-4">
              <h3 className="font-semibold text-gray-900">User Information</h3>
              <dl className="mt-2 space-y-2">
                <div>
                  <dt className="text-sm text-gray-500">ID</dt>
                  <dd className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">{user?.id}</dd>
                </div>
                <div>
                  <dt className="text-sm text-gray-500">Name</dt>
                  <dd className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">{user?.name || 'N/A'}</dd>
                </div>
                <div>
                  <dt className="text-sm text-gray-500">Email</dt>
                  <dd className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">{user?.email || 'N/A'}</dd>
                </div>
              </dl>
            </div>

            <div className="border-l-4 border-green-500 pl-4">
              <h3 className="font-semibold text-gray-900">Status</h3>
              <p className="text-sm text-gray-600 mt-2">
                You are successfully authenticated and can access protected resources.
              </p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
