Changing Style via CSS

What type of UI are you using?

Updating the CSS allows you to change the UI of our components to meet your needs.

This section will guide you through an example of updating the look of buttons. Note that the process can be applied to update any HTML tag from within SuperTokens components.

Global style changes

How to make changes

First, let's open our website at /auth. The Sign-in widget should show up. Let's use the browser console to find out the class name that we'd like to overwrite.

Each stylable components contains data-supertokens attributes (in our example data-supertokens="button").

Let's customize elements with the button attribute. The syntax for styling is plain CSS.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "..."
    },
    style: `
        [data-supertokens~=button] {
            background-color: #252571;
            border: 0px;
            width: 30%;
            margin: 0 auto;
        }
    `,
    recipeList: [ /* ... */]
});

The above will result in:

Changing fonts

By default, SuperTokens uses the Arial font. The best way to override this is to add a font-family styling to the container component in the recipe configuration.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "..."
    },
    style: `
        [data-supertokens~=container] {
            font-family: cursive;
        }
    `,
    recipeList: [ /* ... */]
});

Using media queries

You may want to have different CSS for different viewports. This can be achieved via media queries like this:

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "...",
    },
    style: `
        [data-supertokens~=button] {
            background-color: #252571;
            border: 0px;
            width: 30%;
            margin: 0 auto;
        }

        @media (max-width: 440px) {
            [data-supertokens~=button] {
                width: 90%;
            }
        }
    `,
    recipeList: [ /* ... */],
});

Customising the Sign-Up / Sign-In form

These are the screens shown when the user tries to log in or sign up for the application.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "..."
    },
    style: `[data-supertokens~=authPage] {
        ...
    }`,
    recipeList: [ /* ... */]
});

Customising the Password Reset forms

Send password reset email form

This form is shown when the user clicks on "forgot password" in the sign in form.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";
import EmailPassword from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailpassword";
import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "...",
    },
	recipeList: [
        EmailPassword.init({
            resetPasswordUsingTokenFeature: {
                enterEmailForm: {
                    style: ` ... `
                }
            }
        }), 
        Session.init()
	]
});

Submit new password form

This screen is shown when the user clicks the password reset link on their email - to enter their new password

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";
import EmailPassword from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailpassword";
import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "...",
    },
	recipeList: [
        EmailPassword.init({
            resetPasswordUsingTokenFeature: {
                submitNewPasswordForm: {
                    style: ` ... `
                }
            }
        }), 
        Session.init()
	]
});
