redux-oidc

A package for managing OpenID-Connect authentication in ReactJS / Redux apps. It wraps the popular oidc-client library to redux actions and reducers.

Description

This package handles OpenID-Connect authentication in redux apps. It enables redux apps to authenticate with an external OIDC authentication provider and handles the actions of the OpenID implicit flow.

It uses the oidc-client-js library to manage OpenID Connect functionality.

It contains the following parts:

• CallbackComponent: A react component processing the signin callback from the OpenID-Connect provider,
• SignoutCallbackComponent: A react component processing the signout callback from the OpenID-Connect provider,
• reducers & actions: reducers and actions to handle OIDC events,
• helpers: create helpers to manage the oidc-client-js library

Installation

npm install --save redux-oidc

In addition there is a peer dependency for immutable.js, if you want to use it.

babel-polyfill

You need the babel-polyfill in your build configuration for this package to work.

Version 3 released

I've decided to overhaul the API of this library. The main changes include:

• removed childContext from the <OidcProvider />, user manager now must be passed in as a prop,
• immutablejs is now an optional dependency and doesn't need to be installed for those not using it,
• dropped support for shouldValidate - the middleware now always validates the user,
• dropped support for triggerAuthFlow - this must now be initiated by a custom action (see example app),
• cleaner API all around

The example app is already updated to reflect these changes.

Documentation

You can find the docs for version 3 here:

• API docs,
• actions,
• example app

Note for react-native users

This library doesn't fully support react-native apps. Please use this library instead.

Check out the wiki for further information for Version 2 (deprecated).
