Which frontend SDK do you use?

supertokens-web-js / mobile

supertokens-auth-react

Custom providers

If SuperTokens doesn't support a provider out of the box, you can use custom providers to add a new third party provider to your application.

note

If you think that this provider should be supported by SuperTokens by default, make sure to let us know here.

Step 1: Front End

ReactJS

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.

Angular

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

React Native

import React from "react";import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import ThirdPartyEmailPassword from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/thirdpartyemailpassword";SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "..."    },    recipeList: [        ThirdPartyEmailPassword.init({            signInAndUpFeature: {                providers: [                    {                        id: "custom",                        name: "X", // Will display "Continue with X"
                        // optional                        // you do not need to add a click handler to this as                        // we add it for you automatically.                        buttonComponent: <div style={{                            cursor: "pointer",                            border: "1",                            paddingTop: "5px",                            paddingBottom: "5px",                            borderRadius: "5px",                            borderStyle: "solid"                        }}>Login with Custom</div>                    }                ],                // ...            },            // ...        }),        // ...    ]});

Step 2: Back End

note

The OAuth callback URL for your custom provider will be {websiteDomain}{websiteBasePath}/callback/{customId}, where customId is the id given in the config below (the value below is "custom").

NodeJS

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-node";import Session from "supertokens-node/recipe/session";import ThirdPartyEmailPassword from "supertokens-node/recipe/thirdpartyemailpassword";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "..."    },    supertokens: {        connectionURI: "...",    },    recipeList: [        ThirdPartyEmailPassword.init({            providers: [                {                    id: "custom",                    get: (redirectURI, authCodeFromRequest) => {                        return {                            accessTokenAPI: {                                // this contains info about the token endpoint which exchanges the auth code with the access token and profile info.                                url: "https://oauth.example.com/token",                                params: {                                    // example post params                                    client_id: "<CLIENT ID>",                                    client_secret: "<CLIENT SECRET>",                                    grant_type: "authorization_code",                                    redirect_uri: redirectURI || "",                                    code: authCodeFromRequest || "",                                    //...                                }                            },                            authorisationRedirect: {                                // this contains info about forming the authorisation redirect URL without the state params and without the redirect_uri param                                url: "https://oauth.example.com",                                params: {                                    client_id: "<CLIENT ID>",                                    scope: "<SCOPES>",                                    response_type: "code",                                    //...                                }                            },                            getClientId: () => {                                return "<CLIENT ID>";                            },                            getProfileInfo: async (accessTokenAPIResponse) => {                                /* accessTokenAPIResponse is the JSON response from the accessTokenAPI POST call.
