LoginRadius React Demo

This demo shows how to use the LoginRadius JavaScript library - available through CDNs - in the context of the React framework.

This section explains how you can set up and run the React demo.

Prerequisites: NPM needs to be installed (click here to download).

1. Clone the demo from its corresponding branch in LoginRadius' demo repository.

2. Configure the file ./src/utils/config.json to match your credentials. You must have every field present in that file, but leave the homeURL property unchanged.

3. On terminal or any command prompt run:

   1. cd to directory
   2. npm install
   3. npm start

For simplicity purposes, this demo implements only some of all of the functionality available through the LoginRadius JavaScript library, including:

• Registration
• Login
• Social login
• Password reset ('forgot password')
• Request email verification resend
• Password change
• Email management.

• Invoking the LoginRadiusV2 constructor:

  • Problem: Since the LoginRadius JavaScript library is imported through index.html, the LoginRadiusV2 constructor is on the "DOM" while React serves on a "Virtual DOM."

  • Solution: To invoke the LoginRadiusV2 constructor you'll need to use: new window.LoginRadiusV2(<options>), as shown in ./src/utils/getLoginObject.js

• Deploying the preset interfaces on the Virtual DOM:

  • Problem: Writing the methods correctly, the LR interfaces do not deploy on the DOM properly (It does not deploy at all)

  • Solution: Get rid of the LRObject.util.ready wrapper.

       LRObject.init('registration',registration_options);

  • This will not cause unexpected errors as long as you have the methods to initialize the LR options in your componentDidMount method

• Deploying the Social Login Interface on the Virtual DOM:

  • Problem: The Social Login Interface references a class on the DOM, the method will not be able to find classes on React.

  • Solution: On the Social Login component, reference it using className instead of class .
