A universal library that provides an API to handle browser-based authentication.
AuthSession enables web browser-based authentication (for example, browser-based OAuth flows) in your app by utilizing WebBrowser and Crypto. For implementation details, refer to this reference, and for usage, see the Authentication guide.
Note:
AuthSessionenables general-purpose OAuth and OpenID Connect browser-based auth workflows. Where available, we recommend using a library supplied by your identity provider, as it will handle implementation details specific to that provider. For example, use@react-native-google-signin/google-signinfor Google authentication andreact-native-fbsdk-nextfor Facebook. For more information, see Authentication overview.
expo-cryptois a peer dependency and must be installed alongsideexpo-auth-session.
- npx expo install expo-auth-session expo-cryptoIf you are installing this in an existing React Native app, start by installing expo in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by the library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.
Use the uri-scheme CLI to easily add, remove, list, and open your URIs.
To make your native app handle mycoolredirect:// simply run:
- npx uri-scheme add mycoolredirectYou should now be able to see a list of all your project's schemes by running:
- npx uri-scheme listYou can test it to ensure it works like this:
# Rebuild the native apps, be sure to use an emulator- yarn android- yarn ios# Open a URI scheme- npx uri-scheme open mycoolredirect://some/redirect{
"expo": {
"scheme": "mycoolredirect"
}
}
to be able to deep link back into your app, you will need to set a scheme in your project app.config.js, or app.json, and then build your standalone app (it can't be updated with an update). If you do not include a scheme, the authentication flow will complete, but it will be unable to pass the information back into your application and the user will have to manually exit the authentication modal (resulting in a canceled event).
The guides have moved: Authentication Guide.
The typical flow for browser-based authentication in mobile apps is as follows:
import * as AuthSession from 'expo-auth-session';
useAuthRequest(config, discovery)| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| config | AuthRequestConfig | A valid |
| discovery | null | DiscoveryDocument | A loaded |
Load an authorization request for a code. When the prompt method completes then the response will be fulfilled.
In order to close the popup window on web, you need to invoke
WebBrowser.maybeCompleteAuthSession(). See the Identity example for more info.
If an Implicit grant flow was used, you can pass the response.params to TokenResponse.fromQueryParams()
to get a TokenResponse instance which you can use to easily refresh the token.
[AuthRequest | null, AuthSessionResult | null, (options: AuthRequestPromptOptions) => Promise<AuthSessionResult>]
Returns a loaded request, a response, and a prompt method in a single array in the following order:
request - An instance of AuthRequest that can be used to prompt the user for authorization.
This will be null until the auth request has finished loading.response - This is null until promptAsync has been invoked. Once fulfilled it will return information about the authorization.promptAsync - When invoked, a web browser will open up and prompt the user for authentication.
Accepts an AuthRequestPromptOptions object with options about how the prompt will execute.Example
const [request, response, promptAsync] = useAuthRequest({ ... }, { ... });
useAuthRequestResult(request, discovery, customOptions)| Parameter | Type |

If it cannot reauthenticate the End-User, it must return an error, typically login_required.
NonePrompt.None ＝ "none"Server must not display any auth or consent UI. Can be used to check for existing auth or consent.
An error is returned if a user isn't already authenticated or the client doesn't have pre-configured consent for the requested claims, or does not fulfill other conditions for processing the request.
The error code will typically be login_required, interaction_required, or another code defined in Section 3.1.2.6.

TokenResponseType.Token ＝ "token"For requesting an access token (implicit grant) as described by Section 4.2.1.
TokenTypeHintA hint about the type of the token submitted for revocation. If not included then the server should attempt to deduce the token type.
See: Section 2.1
TokenTypeHint Values
There are many reasons why you might want to handle inbound links into your app, such as push notifications or just regular deep linking (you can read more about this in the Linking); authentication redirects are only one type of deep link, and AuthSession handles these particular links for you. In your own Linking.addEventListener handlers, you can filter out deep links that are handled by AuthSession by checking if the URL includes the +expo-auth-session string -- if it does, you can ignore it. This works because AuthSession adds +expo-auth-session to the default returnUrl; however, if you provide your own returnUrl, you may want to consider adding a similar identifier to enable you to filter out AuthSession events from other handlers.
If you are using deep linking with React Navigation, filtering through Linking.addEventListener will not be sufficient because deep linking is handled differently. Instead, to filter these events, add a custom getStateFromPath function to your linking configuration, and then filter by URL in the same way as described above.
