# pnpm
pnpm add react-passkey-pro
# bun
bun add react-passkey-proπ― Clean P-256 Coordinate API
React Passkey Pro v2.0+ provides direct access to P-256 elliptic curve coordinates:
// Clean, user-friendly structure - no confusing nesting!
const credential = {
id: "credential_id_here",
publicKey: {
kty: 2, // EC2 key type
alg: -7, // ES256 algorithm
crv: 1, // P-256 curve
x: "base64_x_coordinate", // Real X coordinate
y: "base64_y_coordinate", // Real Y coordinate
extracted: true // Successfully extracted from WebAuthn
},
userId: "[email protected]",
createdAt: new Date(),
transports: ["internal", "hybrid"]
}
// Access coordinates directly:
console.log(credential.publicKey.x); // X coordinate
console.log(credential.publicKey.y); // Y coordinateπ Complete WebAuthn Authentication Response
React Passkey Pro v2.0+ returns the complete WebAuthn authentication response for backend verification:
const authResponse = await authenticate();
// Complete response ready for backend verification:
{
credentialId: "base64_credential_id",
challenge: "base64_challenge", // Original challenge sent
signature: "base64_signature", // Cryptographic signature
clientDataJSON: "base64_client_data", // Client environment data
authenticatorData: "base64_auth_data", // Authenticator response
userHandle: "base64_user_handle" // User identifier (optional)
}
// Send to your backend for verification:
const response = await fetch('/api/verify-passkey', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(authResponse)
});β‘ Quick Start
Get up and running in under 2 minutes:
import { PasskeyProvider, PasskeyButton, usePasskey } from 'react-passkey-pro';
function App() {
return (
<PasskeyProvider>
<MyApp />
</PasskeyProvider>
);
}
function MyApp() {
const { isSupported, credentials } = usePasskey();
return (
<div>
{isSupported ? (
<>
<PasskeyButton
mode="register"
registrationOptions={{
user: {
id: '[email protected]',
name: '[email protected]',
displayName: 'John Doe',
},
}}
/>
<PasskeyButton mode="authenticate" />
</>
) : (
<p>Passkeys not supported</p>
)}
</div>
);
}API Reference
Components
PasskeyProvider
The main provider component that manages passkey state and operations.
<PasskeyProvider
storageKey="my-app-passkeys" // Optional: customize storage key
autoDetectSupport={true} // Optional: auto-detect browser support
>
{children}
</PasskeyProvider>PasskeyButton
A ready-to-use button component for registration and authentication.
<PasskeyButton
mode="register" // or "authenticate"
className="custom-button"
disabled={false}
registrationOptions={{
user: { id, name, displayName },
timeout: 60000,
}}
onSuccess={(result) => console.log('Success!', result)}
onError={(error) => console.error('Error:', error)}
>
Custom Button Text
</PasskeyButton>PasskeyManager
Component for managing registered passkeys.
<PasskeyManager
className="passkey-list"
emptyMessage="No passkeys yet"
onDelete={(credential) => console.log('Deleted:', credential)}
renderCredential={(credential, onDelete) => (
<CustomCredentialCard credential={credential} onDelete={onDelete} />
)}
/>PasskeyStatus
Display the current passkey support status.
<PasskeyStatus
showCredentialCount={true}
supportedMessage="Ready for passkeys!"
unsupportedMessage="Passkeys not available"
/>Hooks
usePasskey
The main hook for accessing passkey functionality.
const {
isSupported, // boolean
isRegistering, // boolean
isAuthenticating, // boolean
credentials, // PasskeyCredential[]
register, // (options) => Promise<PasskeyCredential>
authenticate, // (options?) => Promise<string>
deleteCredential, // (id) => Promise<void>
clearCredentials, // () => void
} = usePasskey();usePasskeySupport
Check if passkeys are supported.
const { isSupported, isChecking } = usePasskeySupport();usePasskeyRegistration
Hook for passkey registration operations.
const { register, isRegistering, error } = usePasskeyRegistration();usePasskeyAuthentication
Hook for passkey authentication operations.
const { authenticate, isAuthenticating, error } = usePasskeyAuthentication();Advanced Usage
Custom Storage Adapter
import { PasskeyStorageAdapter, PasskeyProvider } from '@react-passkey/core';
class CustomStorageAdapter implements PasskeyStorageAdapter {
async getCredentials() { /* ... */ }
async saveCredential(credential) { /* ... */ }
async deleteCredential(id) { /* ... */ }
async clearCredentials() { /* ... */ }
}
// Use with provider
<PasskeyProvider storageAdapter={new CustomStorageAdapter()}>
{children}
</PasskeyProvider>Conditional Mediation
// For autofill/conditional UI
const credentialId = await authenticate({
allowCredentials: [], // Empty array triggers conditional UI
userVerification: 'preferred',
