import { CognitoUserPoolId, CognitoAppClientId } from './config';

const cognitoUserPoolId = CognitoUserPoolId;
const cognitoAppClientId = CognitoAppClientId;

class App extends Component {
    
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  
    this.state = {
      isAuthenticated: false,
    };
  }

  userHasAuthenticated = authenticated => {
    this.setState({ isAuthenticated: authenticated });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <header className="App-header">
          <img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
          <h1 className="App-title">Login Demo</h1>
        </header>
        <h4>cognitoUserPoolId={cognitoUserPoolId}</h4>
        <h4>cognitoAppClientId={cognitoAppClientId}</h4>
        <h4>authenticated: {this.state.isAuthenticated ? "true": "false"}</h4>
        <CognitoLoginGui 
          defaultStatus='Please login'
          userHasAuthenticated={this.userHasAuthenticated}
          cognitoUserPoolId={cognitoUserPoolId}
          cognitoAppClientId={cognitoAppClientId}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

src/config.js

Substitute your pool values:

export const CognitoUserPoolId = 'us-east-1_blah-blah-blah';
export const CognitoAppClientId = '6ublahblahblahblahblahblah';

Existing Pool Option

To use an existing pool, pass in it's value instead of the id's that are needed to create one.

<CognitoLoginGui 
    defaultStatus='Please login'
    userHasAuthenticated={this.userHasAuthenticated}
    cognitoUserPool={this.state.cognitoUserPool}
/>
