Example of using Auth0 with Redux to pass tokens for authentication.

#installing

• clone this repo
• npm i or use tink etc.
• rename next.config.sample.js to next.config.js and update the settings
• run npm run dev for dev environment

#what does each bit do? /lib/AuthService is a wrapped around Auth0's SDK. /components is designed to be display only. /hocs provides higher order functions and components

• withLoggedInFlag provides the loggedIn prop derived from the redux state
• withLoginAction provides the login prop function which dispatches the login action
• withLoginAttemptAction provides the loginAttempt prop function with dispatches the loginAttempt action
• withReduxStore instantiates a redux store and passes it as a prop to the wrapped components pages provides Next.js' page components
• _app instantiates the redux store and sets up the containers and context for use by the hocs
• callback is called as part of the Auth0 setup and calls the login attempt action to let redux know that an attempt to login has been made
• index provides with the login button or a message saying hi

other notable bits are the actions, reducer and store. The only bit that's of any consequence is the actions. The loginAttempt action will authenticate a hash and return either a successful or error state for an Auth0 login. That's how we know people have logged in or not.

The login action uses the AuthService lib to call off to the auth SaaS to attempt a login handshake.

#todo

• persist tokens over page refreshes
• send token to the server for server rendering of authenticated routes
