React Quickstart

If you haven't already, create a Stytch B2B Project in your Stytch Dashboard.

Add our frontend React SDK package to your React application:

npm install @stytch/react @stytch/vanilla-js --save

Add your Stytch Project's public_token to your application as an environment variable in a .env file:

# .env
# The below values may be found in your Stytch Dashboard: https://stytch.com/dashboard/api-keys
STYTCH_PROJECT_ENV=test
STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN="YOUR_STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN"

To allow the Stytch SDK to run on your frontend, you'll also need to:

1. Enable frontend SDKs in Test in your Stytch Dashboard here.
2. Add the domain your application will run on (e.g. http://localhost:3000) to the list of Domains under Authorized applications.
3. Enable the Create organizations toggle under Enabled methods. This isn't required, but this setting will allow users to create new Organizations directly from our SDK.

First, initialize the Stytch UI client by invoking the createStytchB2BUIClient constructor function, passing in your Project's public token.

Next, pass the Stytch UI client to the StytchB2BProvider component at the root of your application, making it accessible to all child components.

import { StytchB2BProvider } from '@stytch/react/b2b';
import { StytchB2BUIClient } from '@stytch/vanilla-js/b2b';

// optional object for configuring SDK cookie behavior, currently showing defaults
const stytchOptions = {
  cookieOptions: {
    opaqueTokenCookieName: "stytch_session",
    jwtCookieName: "stytch_session_jwt",
    path: "",
    availableToSubdomains: false,
    domain: "",
  }
}

const stytch = new StytchB2BUIClient(
  import.meta.env.STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN, // or process.env.STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN for non-Vite based projects
  stytchOptions
);

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));

root.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <StytchB2BProvider stytch={stytch}>
      <App />
    </StytchB2BProvider>
  </React.StrictMode>
);

Create a StytchB2B component. You can configure which authentication flow and methods you'd like to offer by modifying the authFlowType and products fields respectively in your config object.

Here's an example of our pre-built UI component utilizing our Discovery flow and Email Magic Links:

import { StytchB2B } from '@stytch/react/b2b';
import { AuthFlowType, B2BProducts } from '@stytch/vanilla-js/b2b';

const LoginOrSignup = () => {
   const config = {
      products: [B2BProducts.emailMagicLinks],
      sessionOptions: { sessionDurationMinutes: 60 },
      authFlowType: AuthFlowType.Discovery,
    };

   return <StytchB2B config={config} />;
};

For Email Magic Links, you must specify a redirect URL in your Project's Dashboard to authenticate the token. By default, the redirect URL is set to http://localhost:3000/authenticate.

If the <StytchB2B> component is rendered on the redirect URL used for this flow, the Email Magic Link token will automatically be authenticated. You can specify additional Redirect URLs in your Project's Dashboard, and override the default by passing in an explicit emailMagicLinksOptions.discoveryRedirectURL to your UI config.

You can read more about redirect URLs in this guide.
