Expo AuthSession

GitHub Changelog npm

A universal library that provides an API to handle browser-based authentication.

GitHub Changelog npm

Android

iOS

Web

Bundled version:

~6.2.1

Copy page

AuthSession enables web browser-based authentication (for example, browser-based OAuth flows) in your app by utilizing WebBrowser and Crypto . For implementation details, refer to this reference, and for usage, see the Authentication guide.

Note: AuthSession enables general-purpose OAuth and OpenID Connect browser-based auth workflows. Where available, we recommend using a library supplied by your identity provider, as it will handle implementation details specific to that provider. For example, use @react-native-google-signin/google-signin for Google authentication and react-native-fbsdk-next for Facebook. For more information, see Authentication overview.

Installation

expo-crypto is a peer dependency and must be installed alongside expo-auth-session.

Terminal

Copy

- npx expo install expo-auth-session expo-crypto

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app , make sure to install expo in your project.

Configuration

Are you using this library in an existing React Native app?

To use this library, you need to set up deep linking in your app by setting up a scheme. Use the uri-scheme CLI utility to easily add, remove, list, and open your URIs.

For example, to make your native app handle mycoolredirect://, run:

Terminal

Copy

- npx uri-scheme add mycoolredirect

You should now be able to see a list of all your project's schemes by running:

Terminal

Copy

- npx uri-scheme list

You can test it to ensure it works like this:

Terminal

# Rebuild the native apps, be sure to use an emulator

- yarn android

- yarn ios

# Open a URI scheme

- npx uri-scheme open mycoolredirect://some/redirect

Usage in standalone apps

app.json

Copy

{ "expo": { "scheme": "mycoolredirect" } }

To be able to deep link back into your app, you will need to set a scheme in your project's app config, and then build your standalone app (it can't be updated with an update). If you do not include a scheme, the authentication flow will complete, but it will be unable to pass the information back into your application and the user will have to manually exit the authentication modal (resulting in a canceled event).

Guides

The guides have moved: Authentication Guide .

How web browser based authentication flows work

The typical flow for browser-based authentication in mobile apps is as follows:

Initiation: the user presses a sign in button
Open web browser: the app opens up a web browser to the authentication provider sign in page. The url that is opened for the sign in page usually includes information to identify the app, and a URL to redirect to on success. Note: the web browser should share cookies with your system web browser so that users do not need to sign in again if they are already authenticated on the system browser -- Expo's WebBrowser API takes care of this.
Authentication provider redirects: upon successful authentication, the authentication provider should redirect back to the application by redirecting to URL provided by the app in the query parameters on the sign in page (read more about how linking works in mobile apps ), provided that the URL is in the allowlist of allowed redirect URLs. Allowlisting redirect URLs is important to prevent malicious actors from pretending to be your application. The redirect includes data in the URL (such as user id and token), either in the location hash, query parameters, or both.
App handles redirect: the redirect is handled by the app and data is parsed from the redirect URL.

Security considerations

Never put any secret keys inside your application code, there is no secure way to do this! Instead, you should store your secret key(s) on a server and expose an endpoint that makes API calls for your client and passes the data back.

API

import * as AuthSession from 'expo-auth-session';

Hooks

`useAuthRequest(config, discovery)`

| Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | config | [AuthRequestConfig](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authrequestconfig) | A valid AuthRequestConfig that specifies what provider to use. | | discovery | null \| [DiscoveryDocument](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#discoverydocument) | A loaded DiscoveryDocument with endpoints used for authenticating. Only authorizationEndpoint is required for requesting an authorization code. |

Load an authorization request for a code. When the prompt method completes then the response will be fulfilled.

In order to close the popup window on web, you need to invoke WebBrowser.maybeCompleteAuthSession(). See the GitHub example for more info.

If an Implicit grant flow was used, you can pass the response.params to TokenResponse.fromQueryParams() to get a TokenResponse instance which you can use to easily refresh the token.

Returns:

[[AuthRequest](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authrequest) | null, [AuthSessionResult](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authsessionresult) | null, (options: [AuthRequestPromptOptions](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authrequestpromptoptions) ) => [Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) <[AuthSessionResult](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authsessionresult) >]

Returns a loaded request, a response, and a prompt method in a single array in the following order:

request - An instance of AuthRequest that can be used to prompt the user for authorization. This will be null until the auth request has finished loading.
response - This is null until promptAsync has been invoked. Once fulfilled it will return information about the authorization.
promptAsync - When invoked, a web browser will open up and prompt the user for authentication. Accepts an AuthRequestPromptOptions object with options about how the prompt will execute.

Example

const [request, response, promptAsync] = useAuthRequest({ ... }, { ... });

`useAuthRequestResult(request, discovery, customOptions)`

| Parameter | Type | | --- | --- | | request | null \| [AuthRequest](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authrequest) | | discovery | null \| [DiscoveryDocument](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#discoverydocument) | | customOptions(optional) | [AuthRequestPromptOptions](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#authrequestpromptoptions) |

Given an OpenID Connect issuer URL, this will fetch and return the DiscoveryDocument (a collection of URLs) from the resource provider.

Returns:

[DiscoveryDocument](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v53.0.0/sdk/auth-session#discoverydocument) | null

Returns null until the DiscoveryDocument has been fetched from the provided issuer URL.

Advanced usage

Filtering out AuthSession events in Linking handlers

There are many reasons why you might want to handle inbound links into your app, such as push notifications or just regular deep linking (you can read more about this in the Linking ); authentication redirects are only one type of deep link, and AuthSession handles these particular links for you. In your own Linking.addEventListener handlers, you can filter out deep links that are handled by AuthSession by checking if the URL includes the +expo-auth-session string -- if it does, you can ignore it. This works because AuthSession adds +expo-auth-session to the default returnUrl; however, if you provide your own returnUrl, you may want to consider adding a similar identifier to enable you to filter out AuthSession events from other handlers.

With React Navigation

If you are using deep linking with React Navigation, filtering through Linking.addEventListener will not be sufficient because deep linking is handled differently . Instead, to filter these events, add a custom getStateFromPath function to your linking configuration, and then filter by URL in the same way as described above.
