React Router 7 + Auth0

This is a small POC app for integrating Auth0 with React Router 7.

Additional dependencies:

Implemented using Cookie-based sessions.

Prerequisites:

You'll need to set up an Auth0 account and supply the following environment variables (you can use a .env file for local development)

AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=...
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=...
AUTH0_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:5173/auth/callback
AUTH0_ORIGIN=https://your-auth0-app-domain.us.auth0.com

Configure your Auth0 application with the following:

Application Type

Regular Web Application

Allowed Callback URLs

http://localhost:5173/auth/callback

Allowed Logout URLs

http://localhost:5173/

Advanced Settings -> Grant Types

✅ Authorization Code
✅ Refresh Token (Optional)

Advanced Settings -> OAuth

✅ OIDC Conformant

Access token

The access token issued by Auth0 will be available on the session user object:

const session = await getSession(request.headers.get('Cookie'));
const user = session.get(SESSION_KEY);
if (user) {
  // Logged in
  const { token } = user;
  const response = await fetch('https://your-api.domain.test/endpoint', {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
  });
  if (!response.ok) {
    // Throw a copy because fetch responses are immutable by default, and we
    // want to make sure if React Router needs to modify the response it can
    throw new Response(response.body, response);
  }

  // Now do what you will with the api response
  const data = await response.json();
}

[!IMPORTANT] For the purposes of this POC, the token value is completely opaque. Validating the JWT issued by Auth0 can be considered out of scope (but please remember that you must verify the JWT in your API service!)
