React Native Auth Workflow

The React Native Auth Workflow package provides a consistent authentication and registration experience across Eaton mobile applications using React Native.

This includes pre-build implementations of the screens for Login, Forgot Password, Contact Information, Self-Registration, Registration By Invitation, and Change Password.

Integrating the user interface into your application is as easy as providing the API calls for the various authentication and registration actions performed by the user. The AuthNavigationContainer automatically handles the presentation of the non-secure (pre-authorization) and secure (custom application) portions of a mobile application.

Usage (Security State)

After setup, you are now able to access various security actions and state from within your application. Importing useSecurityActions and useSecurityState allows you use these hooks as follows:

import {useSecurityActions, useSecurityState } from '@pxblue/react-native-auth-workflow';

const securityActions = useSecurityActions();
const securityState = useSecurityState();

The securityActions allows you to access actions related to user authentication and de-authentication. You can call securityActions.onUserNotAuthenticated(); to un-authenticate (i.e. log user out) from the application.

The securityState allows you to access state related to security, such as the currently authenticated user's email (securityState.email).
