Redirect To Auth Screen

Using the redirectToAuth function

ReactJS

Note

To use SuperTokens with plain javascript you need to use the supertokens-website 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

You can refer to this blog post to know how this is done, the example uses social login but the same setup applies to other recipes as well.

Plain JavaScript

Note

To use SuperTokens with React Native you need to use the supertokens-react-native SDK. The SDK provides session management features.

React Native

Use the redirectToAuth({show?: "signin" | "signup", redirectBack?: boolean}?) function to redirect the user to the full page auth screen provided by SuperTokens.

import React from "react";import { redirectToAuth } from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/passwordless";
function NavBar () {  async function onLogin () {    redirectToAuth();   }  return (    <ul>        <li>Home</li>        <li onClick={onLogin}>Login</li> 
    </ul>  )}

• Call redirectToAuth({show: "signin"}) to take them to the sign in screen
• Call redirectToAuth({show: "signup"}) to take them to the sign up screen
• If you want the user to be redirected to the current page post sign in, use redirectToAuth({redirectBack: true})

Redirecting manually

Alternatively, you can also redirect the user manually by setting window.location.href or using an SPA router like react-router-dom.

To show the sign in page on redirect, you want to add the query param ?show=signin to the URL. To show the sign up page on redirect, you want to add ?show=signup instead.

To make the user navigate back to where their current page, you should add the query param ?redirectToPath=/somepath
