## Getting Started
### Installation
Using [npm](https://npmjs.org) in your project directory run the following command:
```sh
npm install @auth0/auth0-spa-js
```
From the CDN:
```html
```
### Configure Auth0
Create a **Single Page Application** in the [Auth0 Dashboard](https://manage.auth0.com/#/applications).
> **If you're using an existing application**, verify that you have configured the following settings in your Single Page Application:
>
> - Click on the "Settings" tab of your application's page.
> - Scroll down and click on the "Show Advanced Settings" link.
> - Under "Advanced Settings", click on the "OAuth" tab.
> - Ensure that "JsonWebToken Signature Algorithm" is set to `RS256` and that "OIDC Conformant" is enabled.
Next, configure the following URLs for your application under the "Application URIs" section of the "Settings" page:
- **Allowed Callback URLs**: `http://localhost:3000`
- **Allowed Logout URLs**: `http://localhost:3000`
- **Allowed Web Origins**: `http://localhost:3000`
> These URLs should reflect the origins that your application is running on. **Allowed Callback URLs** may also include a path, depending on where you're handling the callback (see below).
Take note of the **Client ID** and **Domain** values under the "Basic Information" section. You'll need these values in the next step.
### Configure the SDK
Create an `Auth0Client` instance before rendering or initializing your application. You should only have one instance of the client.
```js
import { createAuth0Client } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';
//with async/await
const auth0 = await createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
clientId: '',
authorizationParams: {
redirect_uri: ''
}
});
//or, you can just instantiate the client on its own
import { Auth0Client } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';
const auth0 = new Auth0Client({
domain: '',
clientId: '',
authorizationParams: {
redirect_uri: ''
}
});
//if you do this, you'll need to check the session yourself
try {
await auth0.getTokenSilently();
} catch (error) {
if (error.error !== 'login_required') {
throw error;
}
}
```
### Logging In
You can then use login using the `Auth0Client` instance you created:
```html
```
```js
//redirect to the Universal Login Page
document.getElementById('login').addEventListener('click', async () => {
await auth0.loginWithRedirect();
});
//in your callback route ()
window.addEventListener('load', async () => {
const redirectResult = await auth0.handleRedirectCallback();
//logged in. you can get the user profile like this:
const user = await auth0.getUser();
console.log(user);
});
```
### Online Access
> [!NOTE]
> Online Access (Online Refresh Tokens) support via SDKs is currently in Early Access. To request access to this feature, contact your Auth0 representative.
> [!WARNING]
> Online Refresh Tokens do not currently support resource servers with **Ephemeral Sessions** enabled. Enabling both `allow_online_access` and "Allow for Ephemeral Sessions" on the same resource server results in the authorization server issuing an Online Refresh Token that is then rejected (`invalid_grant`) on the very next refresh. Until Ephemeral Sessions support is added for Online Refresh Tokens, disable "Allow for Ephemeral Sessions" on any resource server used with `refreshTokenMode: RefreshTokenMode.Online`.
Set `refreshTokenMode` to `RefreshTokenMode.Online` (together with the required `useRefreshTokens: true` and `useDpop: true`) to use **Online Refresh Tokens** — non-rotating refresh tokens bound to the Auth0 session lifetime. The SDK injects the `online_access` scope and routes renewal through the refresh-token grant.
```js
import { createAuth0Client, RefreshTokenMode } from '@auth0/auth0-spa-js';
const auth0 = await createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
clientId: '',
useRefreshTokens: true,
refreshTokenMode: RefreshTokenMode.Online,
useDpop: true,
authorizationParams: {
redirect_uri: ''
}
});
```
`refreshTokenMode` is a sub-option of `useRefreshTokens`: it defaults to `RefreshTokenMode.Offline` (the rotating refresh tokens described above) and must be set to `RefreshTokenMode.Online` for Online Refresh Tokens. Online mode requires both `useRefreshTokens: true` and `useDpop: true`. See [Online Access](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-spa-js/blob/main/examples/online-access.md) for the full guide.
### Experiment Center
> [!NOTE]
> Experiment Center support via SDKs is currently in Early Access. To request access to this feature, contact your Auth0 representative.
[Experiment Center](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/experiment-center/overview) lets you A/B test your login flow. Auth0 assigns each user to a variant server-side. When you need to force a specific variant — for testing or to apply a decision from a feature-flag tool — pass `experiment_id` and `variation_id` on the login call:
```js
await auth0.loginWithRedirect({
authorizationParams: {
experiment_id: '',
variation_id: ''
}
});
```
The override applies to that request only. The next login without these params reverts to normal server-side assignment.
Pass these **per-call** rather than in the `authorizationParams` at client construction time, so the override does not affect silent `prompt=none` token-renewal calls (Experiment Center does not run on those).
**For testing:** drive from test automation (e.g. Cypress, Playwright) with IDs read from a CI environment variable against a staging tenant. Do not hard-code variant IDs in shipped application code.
**For production:** pass the variant decision from a feature-flag tool (e.g. LaunchDarkly) that has already decided which variant the user should see.
### Anonymous Sessions
> [!NOTE]
> Anonymous Sessions support via SDKs is currently in Early Access. To request access to this feature, contact your Auth0 representative.
Anonymous sessions assign a persistent identity to a visitor before they log in. Set `createAnonymousSessionOnFailedSilentAuth: true` to have the SDK create an anonymous session automatically when `checkSession()` finds no authenticated user.
```js
// createAuth0Client calls checkSession() internally — the anonymous session is ready on init
const auth0 = await createAuth0Client({
domain: '',
clientId: '',
createAnonymousSessionOnFailedSilentAuth: true,
// default is 'localStorage'; use 'memory' if you don't want persistence
anonymousSessionsCacheMode: 'localStorage'
});
const { accessToken } = await auth0.anonymous.getTokenSilently({
audience: 'https://api.example.com'
});
```
See [Anonymous Sessions](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-spa-js/blob/main/examples/anonymous-sessions.md) for the full guide including explicit session creation with metadata, multiple audiences, and logout.
### More Examples
For comprehensive examples covering various scenarios including logging out, calling APIs, refresh tokens, online access, organizations, passkeys, MFA, DPoP, and more, see the [EXAMPLES.md](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-spa-js/blob/main/EXAMPLES.md) document.

## Enterprise Connect
Enterprise Connect lets B2B SaaS applications add enterprise SSO without replacing their existing auth stack.
The SDK exports `isFederatedDomain` for email-domain discovery; you then start the login with `loginWithRedirect` using the email as `login_hint`.
See [EXAMPLES.md#enterprise-connect](EXAMPLES.md#enterprise-connect) for the full setup and flow.
