React Native SDK 0.7x

Link to this section

Kinde React Native SDK 0.7x is compatible with React Native versions 0.70 or higher.

Kinde React Native SDK 0.6x and Kinde React Native SDK 0.7x are designed to work well with Expo. You can easily incorporate them into your Expo projects by following the instructions provided in the Expo and React Native SDK documentation.

Compatible versions:

You can also check out our starter kits on GitHub:

Before you begin

Link to this section
  • If you haven’t already got a Kinde account, register for free here (no credit card required). Registering gives you a Kinde domain, which you need to get started, e.g. yourapp.kinde.com.
  • You will also need Node, the React Native command line interface, a JDK, Android Studio (for Android) and Xcode (for iOS).
  • Follow the installation instructions for your chosen OS to install dependencies.
Terminal window
npm i @kinde-oss/react-native-sdk-0-7x

The SDK requires the react-native-keychain and react-native-inappbrowser-reborn packages. Sometimes, they may not be automatically linked correctly, resulting in errors when running your app, such as "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'isAvailable')". In such cases, you will need to manually link them:

  1. Edit android/settings.gradle

    include ':react-native-keychain'
    project(':react-native-keychain').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-keychain/android')
    include ':react-native-inappbrowser-reborn'
    project(':react-native-inappbrowser-reborn').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-inappbrowser-reborn/android')
  2. Edit android/app/build.gradle

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    android {
    ...
    }
    dependencies {
    ...
    implementation project(':react-native-keychain')
    implementation project(':react-native-inappbrowser-reborn')
    ...
    }
  3. Edit MainApplication.java

    import com.oblador.keychain.KeychainPackage;
    import com.proyecto26.inappbrowser.RNInAppBrowserPackage;
    ...
    public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost =
    new ReactNativeHost(this) {
    ...
    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    ...
    List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
    packages.add(new KeychainPackage());
    packages.add(new RNInAppBrowserPackage());
    ...
    return packages;
    }
    ...
    };
    ...
    }

In React Native version 0.73 or above, the MainApplication.java file has been replaced with MainApplication.kt

import com.oblador.keychain.KeychainPackage;
import com.proyecto26.inappbrowser.RNInAppBrowserPackage;
...
class MainApplication : Application(), ReactApplication {
override val reactNativeHost: ReactNativeHost =
object : DefaultReactNativeHost(this) {
override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> =
PackageList(this).packages.apply {
// Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
// add(MyReactNativePackage())
add(KeychainPackage());
add(RNInAppBrowserPackage());
}
...
}
...
}

To update iOS native dependencies, you can use CocoaPods. We recommend installing CocoaPods using Homebrew.

Terminal window
brew install cocoapods
cd ios && pod install

The SDK requires the react-native-keychain and react-native-inappbrowser-reborn packages. Sometimes, they may not be automatically linked correctly, resulting in errors when running your app, such as "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'isAvailable')". In such cases, you will need to manually link them:

  1. Option: With CocoaPods (Highly recommended)

    Please add the following lines to your Podfile, and then run pod update:

    pod 'RNKeychain', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-keychain'
    pod 'RNInAppBrowser', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-inappbrowser-reborn'
  2. Option: Manually link the packages with Xcode

    • Go to the Build Phases tab and choose Link Binary With Libraries.
    • Select +
    • Add Other > Add Filesnode_modules/react-native-keychain/RNKeychain.xcodeproj (similar with RNInAppBrowser)
    • Add libRNKeychain.a (similar with RNInAppBrowser)
    • Clean and rebuild.

If you encounter any errors during the SDK installation process, you can refer to the General Tips section at the end of this topic.

Kinde configuration

Link to this section
  1. In Kinde, go to Settings > Applications.
  2. Select View details on the Front-end app.
  3. Scroll down to the Callback URLs section.
  4. Add in the callback URLs for your React Native app, which should look something like this:
    • Allowed callback URLs - myapp://myhost.kinde.com/kinde_callback
    • Allowed logout redirect URLs - myapp://myhost.kinde.com/kinde_callback

Make sure you press the Save button at the bottom of the page!

Note: The myapp://myhost.kinde.com/kinde_callback is used as an example of local URL Scheme, change to the local local URL Scheme that you use.

If you would like to use our Environments feature as part of your development process. You will need to create them first within your Kinde account. In this case you would use the Environment subdomain in the code block above.

Configure your app

Link to this section

Environment variables

Link to this section

Put these variables in your .env file. You can find these variables on the same page as where you set the callback URLs.

  • KINDE_ISSUER_URL - your Kinde domain
  • KINDE_POST_CALLBACK_URL - After the user authenticates we will callback to this address. Make sure this URL is under your allowed callback URLs
  • KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL - where you want users to be redirected to after logging out. Make sure this URL is under your allowed logout redirect URLs
  • KINDE_CLIENT_ID - you can find this on the App Keys page
KINDE_ISSUER_URL=https://your_kinde_domain.kinde.com
KINDE_POST_CALLBACK_URL=myapp://your_kinde_domain.kinde.com/kinde_callback
KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL=myapp://your_kinde_domain.kinde.com/kinde_callback
KINDE_CLIENT_ID=your_kinde_client_id

Configuration example:

KINDE_ISSUER_URL=https://myhost.kinde.com
KINDE_POST_CALLBACK_URL=myapp://myhost.kinde.com/kinde_callback
KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL=myapp://myhost.kinde.com/kinde_callback
KINDE_CLIENT_ID=myclient@live
Link to this section

Open AndroidManifest.xml and update your scheme by adding a new block in activity.

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="myapp" android:host="your_kinde_host" /> // Please modify sheme and host to reflect your preferences.
</intent-filter>

You need to link RCTLinking to your project using the steps below.

  1. If you also want to listen to incoming app links during your app’s execution, add the following lines to your AppDelegate.m.

    // iOS 9.x or newer
    #import <React/RCTLinkingManager.h>
    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    openURL:(NSURL *)url
    options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options
    {
    return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url options:options];
    }
  2. If you’re targeting iOS 8.x or older, use the following code instead.

    // iOS 8.x or older
    #import <React/RCTLinkingManager.h>
    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url
    sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation
    {
    return [RCTLinkingManager application:application openURL:url
    sourceApplication:sourceApplication annotation:annotation];
    }
  3. Make sure you have a configuration URL scheme in Info.plist, so the app can be opened by deep link.

    <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
    <dict>
    <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
    <string>Editor</string>
    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
    <string>myapp</string> // you can change it
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
    <string>myapp</string> // you can change it
    </array>
    </dict>
    </arra

Integrate with your app

Link to this section

To create a new instance of the KindeSDK object, execute the code below.

import { KindeSDK } from '@kinde-oss/react-native-sdk-0-7x';
...
...
const client = new KindeSDK(YOUR_KINDE_ISSUER, YOUR_KINDE_REDIRECT_URI, YOUR_KINDE_CLIENT_ID, YOUR_KINDE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI);

Sign in and registration

Link to this section

Kinde provides methods for easily implementing a login / register flow. You can add buttons as follows.

<View>
<View>
<Button title="Sign In" onPress={handleSignIn} />
</View>
<View>
<Button title="Sign Up" color="#000" onPress={handleSignUp} />
</View>
</View>

Then define new functions that match for each button.

Note: Before proceeding, make sure you’ve defined the KindeSDK as a client variable.

...
const handleSignUp = async () => {
const token = await client.register();
if (token) {
// User was authenticated
}
};
const handleSignIn = async () => {
const token = await client.login();
if (token) {
// User was authenticated
}
};
...

This is implemented in much the same way as signing in or registering. The Kinde SPA client comes with a logout method:

const handleLogout = async () => {
const loggedOut = await client.logout();
if (loggedOut) {
// User was logged out
}
};

We have also implemented an API for token revocation. Pass true as an argument in the logout function. This flag will assist in revoking the token without having to open the website within your apps.

const handleLogout = async () => {
const loggedOut = await client.logout(true);
if (loggedOut) {
// User was logged out
}
};

Note: Handle redirects are now deprecated

Starting from version 1.1 of the SDK, the need to handle redirects has been eliminated. Authentication is now performed by launching a web browser within your app instead of relying on an external browser. For a comprehensive example of how to handle authentication, see below.

Full code sample for authentication

Link to this section
const checkAuthenticate = async () => {
// Using `isAuthenticated` to check if the user is authenticated or not
if (await client.isAuthenticated) {
// Need to implement, e.g: call an api, etc...
} else {
// Need to implement, e.g: redirect user to sign in, etc..
}
};
useEffect(() => {
checkAuthenticate();
}, []);
const handleSignIn = async () => {
const token = await client.login();
if (token) {
// Need to implement, e.g: call an api, etc...
}
};
const handleSignUp = async () => {
const token = await client.register();
if (token) {
// Need to implement, e.g: call an api, etc...
}
};
const handleLogout = async () => {
// With open web in your apps
const isLoggedOut = await client.logout();
if (isLoggedOut) {
// Need to implement, e.g: redirect user to login screen, etc...
}
// Without open web in your apps
const isLoggedOut = await client.logout();
if (isLoggedOut) {
// Need to implement, e.g: redirect user to login screen, etc...
}
};

Get user information

Link to this section

To access the user information, use the getUserDetails helper function.

const userProfile = await client.getUserDetails();
console.log(userProfile);
// output: {"given_name":"Dave","id":"abcdef","family_name":"Smith","email":"dave@smith.com"}

View users in Kinde

Link to this section

Go to the Users page in Kinde to see your newly registered user.

User Permissions

Link to this section

Once a user has been verified, your product/application will return the JWT token with an array of permissions for that user. You will need to configure your product/application to read permissions and unlock the respective functions.

Set permissions in your Kinde account. Here’s an example set of permissions.

const permissions = [
"create:todos",
"update:todos",
"read:todos",
"delete:todos",
"create:tasks",
"update:tasks",
"read:tasks",
"delete:tasks"
];

We provide helper functions to more easily access permissions.

await client.getPermission("create:todos");
// {orgCode: "org_1234", isGranted: true}
await client.getPermissions();
// {orgCode: "org_1234", permissions: ["create:todos", "update:todos", "read:todos"]}

A practical example in code might look something like.

if ((await client.getPermission("create:todos")).isGranted) {
// show Create Todo button in UI
}

An audience is the intended recipient of an access token - for example the API for your application. The audience argument can be passed to the Kinde client to request an audience be added to the token.

The audience of a token is the intended recipient of the token.

const client = new KindeSDK(
YOUR_KINDE_ISSUER,
YOUR_KINDE_REDIRECT_URI,
YOUR_KINDE_CLIENT_ID,
YOUR_KINDE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI,
YOUR_SCOPES,
{
audience: "api.yourapp.com"
}
);

For details on how to connect, see Register an API.

Overriding scope

Link to this section

By default the KindeSDK requests the following scopes:

  • profile
  • email
  • offline
  • openid

You can override this by passing scope into the KindeSDK.

const client = new KindeSDK(
YOUR_KINDE_ISSUER,
YOUR_KINDE_REDIRECT_URI,
YOUR_KINDE_CLIENT_ID,
YOUR_KINDE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI,
"profile email offline openid"
);

Getting claims

Link to this section

We have provided a helper to grab any claim from your id or access tokens. The helper defaults to access tokens:

await client.getClaim("aud");
// { name: "aud", value ["api.yourapp.com"] }
await client.getClaim("given_name", "id_token");
// { name: "given_name", value: "David" }

Create an organization

Link to this section

To create a new organization within your application, you will need to run a similar function to this.

<Button title="Create Organization" onPress={handleCreateOrg} />

Then define the function of the button.

Make sure you’ve already defined KindeSDK as the client in the state.

const handleCreateOrg = () => {
client.createOrg();
};
// You can also pass `org_name` as your organization
client.createOrg({org_name: "Your Organization"});

Sign in and sign up to organizations

Link to this section

Kinde has a unique code for every organization. You’ll have to pass this code through when you register a new user.

Example function below:

client.register({orgCode: "your_org_code"});

If you want a user to sign in into a particular organization, pass this code along with the sign in method.

client.login({orgCode: "your_org_code"});

Following authentication, Kinde provides a json web token (jwt) to your application. Along with the standard information we also include the org_code and the permissions for that organization (this is important as a user can belong to multiple organizations and have different permissions for each). Example of a returned token:

Example of a returned token:

{
"aud": [],
"exp": 1658475930,
"iat": 1658472329,
"iss": "https://your_subdomain.kinde.com",
"jti": "123457890",
"org_code": "org_1234",
"permissions": ["read:todos", "create:todos"],
"scp": ["openid", "profile", "email", "offline"],
"sub": "kp:123457890"
}

The id_token will also contain an array of organizations that a user belongs to - this is useful if you wanted to build out an organization switcher for example.

{
...
"org_codes": ["org_1234", "org_4567"]
...
}

There are two helper functions you can use to extract information.

await client.getOrganization();
// {orgCode: "org_1234"}
await client.getUserOrganizations();
// {orgCodes: ["org_1234", "org_abcd"]}

For more information about how organizations work in Kinde, see Kinde organizations for developers.

We have provided a helper to return any features flag from the access token:

client.getFlag('theme')
// returns
{
"is_default": false
"value": "pink",
"code": "theme",
"type": "string",
}
client.getFlag('no-feature-flag')
// Error: This flag 'no-feature-flag' was not found, and no default value has been provided
client.getFlag('no-feature-flag', 'default-value')
// returns
{
"is_default": true
"code": "no-feature-flag",
"value": "default-value",
}
client.getFlag('theme', 'default-theme', 'b')
// Error: Flag 'theme' is type string - requested type boolean

We also require wrapper functions by type which should leverage getFlag above.

Get boolean flags

Link to this section
/**
* Get a boolean flag from the feature_flags claim of the access_token.
* @param {String} code - The name of the flag.
* @param {Boolean} [defaultValue] - A fallback value if the flag isn't found.
* @return {Boolean}
*/
kindeClient.getBooleanFlag(code, defaultValue);
kindeClient.getBooleanFlag("is_dark_mode");
// true
kindeClient.getBooleanFlag("is_dark_mode", false);
// true
kindeClient.getBooleanFlag("new_feature");
// Error: This flag 'new_feature' was not found, and no default value has been provided
kindeClient.getBooleanFlag("new_feature", false);
// false (flag does not exist so falls back to default)
kindeClient.getBooleanFlag("theme", "blue");
// Error: Flag 'theme' is type string - requested type boolean

Get string flags

Link to this section
/**
* Get a string flag from the feature_flags claim of the access_token.
* @param {String} code - The name of the flag.
* @param {String} [defaultValue] - A fallback value if the flag isn't found.
* @return {String}
*/
kindeClient.getStringFlag(code, defaultValue);
/* Example usage */
kindeClient.getStringFlag("theme");
// pink
kindeClient.getStringFlag("theme", "black");
// true
kindeClient.getStringFlag("cta_color");
// Error: This flag 'cta_color' was not found, and no default value has been provided
kindeClient.getStringFlag("cta_color", "blue");
// blue (flag does not exist so falls back to default)
kindeClient.getStringFlag("is_dark_mode", false);
// Error: Flag 'is_dark_mode' is type string - requested type boolean

Get integer flags

Link to this section
/**
* Get an integer flag from the feature_flags claim of the access_token.
* @param {String} code - The name of the flag.
* @param {Integer} [defaultValue] - A fallback value if the flag isn't found.
* @return {Integer}
*/
kindeClient.getIntegerFlag(code, defaultValue);
kindeClient.getIntegerFlag("competitions_limit");
// 5
kindeClient.getIntegerFlag("competitions_limit", 3);
// 5
kindeClient.getIntegerFlag("team_count");
// Error: This flag 'team_count' was not found, and no default value has been provided
kindeClient.getIntegerFlag("team_count", 2);
// 2 (flag does not exist so falls back to default)
kindeClient.getIntegerFlag("is_dark_mode", false);
// Error: Flag 'is_dark_mode' is type boolean - requested type integer+

Once the user has successfully authenticated, you’ll have a JWT and a refresh token and that has been stored securely. E.g. using the getAccessToken method of the Storage class to get an access token.

...
import { Storage } from '@kinde-oss/react-native-sdk-0-7x'
...
const accessToken = await Storage.getAccessToken();
console.log('access_token', accessToken);

We’re using the react-native-keychain for React Native

The storage handler can be found at: Storage class

Run the test suite using the following command at the root of your React Native.

Terminal window
npm run test

Note: Ensure you have already run npm install.

Building issues

Link to this section

'value' is unavailable: introduced in iOS 12.0

If you got the error ‘value’ is unavailable: introduced in iOS 12.0 when trying to build the app, you can follow the below steps to fix that:

  1. In your Xcode project navigator, select Pods.
  2. Under Targets, select React-Codegen.
  3. Select the Build Settings tab.
  4. Under Deployment, set iOS Deployment Target to 12.4.
  5. Clean project and rebuild: Product > Clean Build Folder, Product > Build.
  1. Dependency 'androidx.browser:browser:1.6.0-beta01' requires libraries and applications that depend on it to compile against version 34 or later of the Android APIs

    The solution is add androidXBrowser = "1.4.0" in your project.

    android/build.gradle
    buildscript {
    ...
    ext {
    // ...
    androidXBrowser = "1.4.0"
    // ....
    }
    ...
    }
  2. Duplicate class kotlin.collections.jdk8.CollectionsJDK8Kt found in modules jetified-kotlin-stdlib-1.8.10 (org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.8.10) and jetified-kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.7.22 (org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.7.22)

    The solution is add org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-bom:1.8.0 dependency in your project.

    android/app/build.grade
    dependencies {
    ...
    implementation(platform("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-bom:1.8.0"))
    ...
    }

Caching issues

Link to this section

Sometimes there will be issues related to caching when you develop React Native. There are some recommendations for cleaning the cache:

  1. Remove node_modules, yarn.lock or package-lock.json.
  2. Clean cache: yarn cache clean or npm cache clean --force.
  3. Make sure you have changed values in .env file.
  4. Trying to install packages again: yarn install or npm install.
  5. Run Metro Bundler: yarn start --reset-cache or npm start --reset-cache.

Assume your StarterKit path is <StarterKit_PATH>.

Clean cache for Android

  • Run this:

    Terminal window
    cd <StarterKit_PATH>/android
    ./gradlew clean

Clean cache for iOS

  1. Run this:

    Terminal window
    cd <StarterKit_PATH>/ios
    rm -rf Pods && rm Podfile.lock
  2. Clean build folders on Xcode.
