Changing Style via CSS

important

This is applicable to prebuilt UI only.

Updating the CSS allows you to change the UI of our components to meet your needs.

This section will guide you through an example of updating the look of buttons. Note that the process can be applied to update any HTML tag from within SuperTokens components.

Global style changes#

How to make changes#

Check here to see how you can find out the class name to overwrite.

Each stylable components contains data-supertokens attributes (in our example data-supertokens="button").

Let's add a button attribute to our configuration file. The syntax for styling is the same as React inline styling.

ReactJS
Angular
Vue
Plain JavaScript
React Native

Note

You can use the supertokens-web-js SDK which exposes several helper functions that query the APIs exposed by the SuperTokens backend SDK.

You can refer to this example app as a reference for using the supertokens-web-js SDK.

Note

To use SuperTokens with React Native you need to use the supertokens-react-native SDK. The SDK provides session management features.

To add login functionality, you need to build your own UI and call the APIs exposed by the backend SDKs. You can find the API spec here

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import EmailVerification from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailverification";import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "..."    },    recipeList: [        EmailVerification.init({            palette: { /* ... */ },            style: {                link: {                    border: "2px solid #0076ff",                    borderRadius: 5,                    width: "30%",                    margin: "0 auto",                },            },        }),        Session.init()    ]});

The above will result in:

Changing fonts#

By default, SuperTokens loads and uses the 'Rubik' font. The best way to override this is to add styling to the container component in the recipe configuration. Doing so will prevent the SDK from loading the default font.

ReactJS
Angular
Vue
Plain JavaScript
React Native

Note

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import EmailVerification from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailverification";import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "..."    },    recipeList: [        EmailVerification.init({            palette: { /* ... */ },            style: {                container: {                    fontFamily: "cursive"                }            }        }),        Session.init()    ]});

Using media queries#

You may want to have different CSS for different viewports. This can be achieved via media queries like this:

ReactJS
Angular
Vue
Plain JavaScript
React Native

Note

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import EmailVerification from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailverification";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "...",    },    recipeList: [        // ...        EmailVerification.init({            // ...            style: {                link: {                    border: "2px solid #0076ff",                    borderRadius: 5,                    width: "30%",                    margin: "0 auto",                    "@media (max-width: 440px)": {                        width: "90%",                    },                },            },        }),    ],});

Customising individual screens#

Send email screen#

This is screen is where the user is redirected if mode is set to REQUIRED and they visit a path that requires a verified email.

ReactJS
Angular
Vue
Plain JavaScript
React Native

Note

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import EmailVerification from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailverification";import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "...",    },    recipeList: [        EmailVerification.init({            sendVerifyEmailScreen: {                style: { /* ... */ }            }        }),        Session.init()    ]});

Verify link clicked screen#

This is the screen shown to users that click the email verification link in the email.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import EmailVerification from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailverification";import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "...",    },    recipeList: [        EmailVerification.init({            verifyEmailLinkClickedScreen: {                style: { /* ... */ }            }        }),         Session.init()    ]});
