Usage

Wrap your App with the BillingProvider component to give it access to the billing context.

index.tsx - Root component of your react app

import React from "react"
import { render } from "react-dom"
import { BillingProvider } from "react-billing-js"

import YourApp from "./YourApp"

const ReactApp = (
    // Wrap your app with the billing provider with your stripe account id
    <BillingProvider
        stripeAccount={"acct_..."} // Your stripe account id that you can find in the billing.js dashboard (https://billingjs.com)
        options={{ termsAndConditionsUrl: "/terms", productPageUrl: "/pricing" }} // Optional
        onError={(error) => {}} // Optional for error handling
    >
        <YourApp />
    </BillingProvider>
)

render(<ReactApp />, document.getElementById("root"))

Authentication

Set your router to require authentication when accessing the customer portal.

App.tsx - Root component

import { useAuth, CustomerPortal } from "react-billing-js"
import { Switch, Route, Redirect, BrowserRouter as Router } from "react-router-dom"

import Pricing from "./Pricing"

export default () => {

    // use the useAuth hook to get the current user
    const { loading, user, signOut } = useAuth()

    const renderPrivateRoute = (Component, redirect = "/login") => () => {
        if (user) {
            return React.isValidElement(Component) ? Component : <Component />
        }
        return <Redirect to={redirect} />
    }

    if (loading) {
        return <div>loading...</div>
    }

    <Router>
        <Switch>
            <Route exact={true} path="/subscription" render={renderPrivateRoute(CustomerPortal)} />
            <Route exact={true} path="/pricing" component={Pricing} />
            <Route exact={true} path="/login" component={Login} />
            <Redirect to="/pricing" />
        </Switch>
    </Router>
)

Fetch the HMAC signature from your server to authenticate the user on the Billing.js module.

Login.tsx - Login page component

import { useAuth } from "react-billing-js"
const { loading, user, signIn } = useAuth()

// fetch the hmac now or retrieve it from the the app state, then sign in the user
// follow the steps in the [billingjs.com](https://billingjs.com) documentation to get the HMAC
const onSignIn = () => fetch("/URL_TO_GET_THE_HMAC").then((res) => signIn({ hmac: res?.data?.hmac, email: user.email }))

if (loading) {
    return <div>loading...</div>
}

if (user) {
    return <div>Signed in!</div>
}

return (
    <div>
        <button onClick={onSignIn}>Sign in</button>
    </div>
)

Pricing page

Show the pricing of the products of your choices to the user.

Pricing.tsx - Pricing page component

import { useProducts, PaymentModal } from "react-billing-js"
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom"

export default () => {
    const history = useHistory() // optional, if you are using react-router

    // Billing.js useProducts hook
    const {
        loading, // loading state
        products: [premiumPlan], // list of the products fetched
        activeSubscriptions, // list of active subscriptions of the user
        pricingFilter: {
            currency: {
                selectedCurrency, // current currency (USD by default)
                availableCurrencies, // list of the available currencies
                setCurrency // function to set the desired currency
            },
            recurrence: {
                selectedRecurrence, // current recurrence
                availableRecurrences, // list of the available recurrences
                setRecurrence // function to set the desired recurrence
            }
        }
    } = useProducts(["prod_..."], {
        modal: {
            maskClassName: "bg-white opacity-75" // modal mask class name
        },
        normalizePriceOnRecurrence: "monthly", // Normalize price on recurrence
        defaultCurrency: "usd", // Default currency
        defaultRecurrence: "Yearly", // Default recurrence
        signIn: () => history.push("/login"), // Function to sign in the user
        onPaymentSuccessful: () => console.log(`Payment successful`), // Callback when payment is successful
        onPaymentError: (error) => console.log(`Payment error`, error) // Callback when payment is unsuccessful
    })

    return (
        <div>
            {/*Payment modal that will open when a pricing is selected*/}
            <PaymentModal />

            {/*Plan description and price*/}
            <h3>{premiumPlan.name}</h3>
            <h2>
                {selectedCurrency.symbol} {premiumPlan.selectedPricing.priceInteger}.
                {premiumPlan.selectedPricing.priceDecimal}/{premiumPlan.selectedPricing.pricingRecurrence}
            </h2>
            {/* Payment button */}
            {loading ||
            activeSubscriptions.find(
                (subscription) => subscription.items?.data[0]?.price?.id === premiumPlan.selectedPricing.id
            ) ? ( // If the user has an active subscription to this product
                <button disabled={true}>{loading ? "Loading..." : "Current plan"}</button>
            ) : (
                // If the user does not have an active subscription to this product
                <button onClick={premiumPlan.selectedPricing.onSelectPricing}>
                    {
                        activeSubscriptions.length > 0
                            ? "Switch plan" // If the user has an active subscription to another product
                            : premiumPlan.selectedPricing?.recurring?.trial_period_days
                            ? "Start your trial" // If the product has a trial period
                            : "Get started" // If the product is billed immediately
                    }
                </button>
            )}
        </div>
    )
}
