Reference

<AuthKitProvider />

Your app should be wrapped in the AuthKitProvider component. This component takes the following props:

• clientId (required): Your WORKOS_CLIENT_ID
• redirectUri: The url that WorkOS will redirect to upon successful authentication. (Used when constructing sign-in/sign-up URLs).
• devMode: Defaults to true if window.location is "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". Tokens will be stored in localStorage when this prop is true.
• onRedirectCallback: Called after exchanging the authorization_code. Can be used for things like redirecting to a "return to" path in the OAuth state.

useAuth

The useAuth hook returns user information and helper functions:

• isLoading: true while user information is being obtained from fetch during initial load.
• user: The WorkOS User object for this session.
• getAccessToken: Returns an access token. Will fetch a fresh access token if necessary.
• signIn: Redirects the user to the Hosted AuthKit sign-in page. Takes an optional state argument.
• signUp: Redirects the user to the Hosted AuthKit sign-up page. Takes an optional state argument.
• signOut: Ends the session.
