`Getting Started

Create an
instance before rendering or initializing your application. You should only have one instance of the client.`js
import createAuth0Client from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';//with async/await
const auth0 = await createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
redirect_uri: ''
});
//with promises
createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
redirect_uri: ''
}).then(auth0 => {
//...
});
//or, you can just instantiate the client on it's own
import { Auth0Client } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';
const auth0 = new Auth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
redirect_uri: ''
});
//if you do this, you'll need to check the session yourself
try {
await getTokenSilently();
} catch (error) {
if (error.error !== 'login_required') {
throw error;
}
}

html
`js
//with async/await//redirect to the Universal Login Page
document.getElementById('login').addEventListener('click', async () => {
await auth0.loginWithRedirect();
});
//in your callback route ()
window.addEventListener('load', async () => {
const redirectResult = await auth0.handleRedirectCallback();
//logged in. you can get the user profile like this:
const user = await auth0.getUser();
console.log(user);
});
//with promises
//redirect to the Universal Login Page
document.getElementById('login').addEventListener('click', () => {
auth0.loginWithRedirect().catch(() => {
//error while redirecting the user
});
});
//in your callback route ()
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
auth0.handleRedirectCallback().then(redirectResult => {
//logged in. you can get the user profile like this:
auth0.getUser().then(user => {
console.log(user);
});
});
});

const result = await fetch('https://myapi.com', {

headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${accessToken}
}
});
const data = await result.json();
console.log(data);

html
`js
import createAuth0Client from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';document.getElementById('logout').addEventListener('click', () => {
auth0.logout();
});
`You can redirect users back to your app after logging out. This URL must appear in the Allowed Logout URLs setting for the app in your Auth0 Dashboard:
js
auth0.logout({
returnTo: 'https://your.custom.url.example.com/'
});

The SDK can be configured to cache ID tokens and access tokens either in memory or in local storage. The default is in memory. This setting can be controlled using the
option when creating the Auth0 client.To use the in-memory mode, no additional options need are required as this is the default setting. To configure the SDK to cache data using local storage, set
cacheLocation as follows:`js
await createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
redirect_uri: '',
cacheLocation: 'localstorage' // valid values are: 'memory' or 'localstorage'
});
`Important: This feature will allow the caching of data such as ID and access tokens to be stored in local storage. Exercising this option changes the security characteristics of your application and should not be used lightly. Extra care should be taken to mitigate against XSS attacks and minimize the risk of tokens being stolen from local storage.

Refresh tokens can be used to request new access tokens. Read more about how our refresh tokens work for browser-based applications to help you decide whether or not you need to use them.
To enable the use of refresh tokens, set the
option to true:`js
await createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
redirect_uri: '',
useRefreshTokens: true
});
`Using this setting will cause the SDK to automatically send the
scope to the authorization server. Refresh tokens will then be used to exchange for new access tokens instead of using a hidden iframe, and calls the /oauth/token endpoint directly. This means that in most cases the SDK does not rely on third-party cookies when using refresh tokens.Note This configuration option requires Rotating Refresh Tokens to be enabled for your Auth0 Tenant.
#### Refresh Token fallback
In all cases where a refresh token is not available, the SDK falls back to the legacy technique of using a hidden iframe with
prompt=none to try and get a new access token and refresh token. This scenario would occur for example if you are using the in-memory cache and you have refreshed the page. In this case, any refresh token that was stored previously would be lost.If the fallback mechanism fails, a
login_required error will be thrown and could be handled in order to put the user back through the authentication process.Note: This fallback mechanism does still require access to the Auth0 session cookie, so if third-party cookies are being blocked then this fallback will not work and the user must re-authenticate in order to get a new refresh token.

Organizations is a set of features that provide better support for developers who build and maintain SaaS and Business-to-Business (B2B) applications.
Using Organizations, you can:
- Represent teams, business customers, partner companies, or any logical grouping of users that should have different ways of accessing your applications, as organizations.
- Manage their membership in a variety of ways, including user invitation.
- Configure branded, federated login flows for each organization.
- Implement role-based access control, such that users can have different roles when authenticating in the context of different organizations.
- Build administration capabilities into your products, using Organizations APIs, so that those businesses can manage their own organizations.
Note that Organizations is currently only available to customers on our Enterprise and Startup subscription plans.
#### Log in to an organization
Log in to an organization by specifying the
organization parameter when setting up the client:`js
createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
redirect_uri: '',
organization: ''
});
`You can also specify the organization when logging in:
js
// Using a redirect
client.loginWithRedirect({
organization: ''
});// Using a popup window
client.loginWithPopup({
organization: ''
});
`#### Accept user invitations
Accept a user invitation through the SDK by creating a route within your application that can handle the user invitation URL, and log the user in by passing the
and invitation parameters from this URL. You can either use loginWithRedirect or loginWithPopup as needed.`js
const url = new URL(invitationUrl);
const params = new URLSearchParams(url.search);
const organization = params.get('organization');
const invitation = params.get('invitation');if (organization && invitation) {
client.loginWithRedirect({
organization,
invitation
});
}
`$3
Advanced options can be set by specifying the
property when configuring Auth0Client. Learn about the complete set of advanced options in the API documentation`js
createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
client_id: '',
advancedOptions: {
defaultScope: 'email' // change the scopes that are applied to every authz request. Note: openid is always specified regardless of this setting
}
});

Auth0 helps you to easily:
- implement authentication with multiple identity providers, including social (e.g., Google, Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, etc), or enterprise (e.g., Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS, SAML, etc.)
- log in users with username/password databases, passwordless, or multi-factor authentication
- link multiple user accounts together
- generate signed JSON Web Tokens to authorize your API calls and flow the user identity securely
- access demographics and analytics detailing how, when, and where users are logging in
- enrich user profiles from other data sources using customizable JavaScript rules
