## **Quickstart to Userfront Integration with React: Making Authentication Fun! 🎉**
Ready to add some super slick authentication to your React app in no time? 🚀 Let's dive into Userfront, where we'll make sure your users are securely signing up, logging in, and resetting passwords—all without breaking a sweat (or your code)!
## Step 1: Getting Started in No Time ⏱️
**Step 1.1: Install Userfront in Your React App**
First things first, let’s get Userfront up and running. Open your terminal and hit:
```
npm install @userfront/next
```
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Boom! You’re one step closer to authentication greatness. 😎
**Step 1.2: Set Up Your Workspace ID**
Remember that cool Workspace ID? It’s like your app’s VIP pass. Add it to your environment variables:
```
// .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_USERFRONT_WORKSPACE_ID="demo1234"
```
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Don’t worry, you can always grab it from the Userfront dashboard if you forget.
**Step 1.3: Wrap It Up with UserfrontProvider**
Now, let’s make sure everything is nice and snug in your layout. Wrap your components with `UserfrontProvider` in your layout file:
```
// src/app/layout.js
import { UserfrontProvider } from "@userfront/next/client";
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
{children}
);
}
```
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
All set? Let’s move on! 🏃♂️

### Step 2: Adding a Sign-Up Form Like a Pro ✍️
**Step 2.1: Create the Sign-Up Page**
Time to let users sign up! Create a new route and page for your sign-up form:
```
// src/app/signup/page.js
import { SignupForm } from "@userfront/next/client";
export default function SignupPage() {
return ;
}
```
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
And just like that, you've got a sign-up form ready to rock! 🤘
**Step 2.2: Try It Out!**
Fill out that shiny new form and hit submit. 🎯 If all goes well, you’ll be redirected to your dashboard and a secure access token will be stored in your browser.
* * *
### Step 3: Add Login, Reset, and Logout—The Trio of Power 💪
**Step 3.1: Rinse and Repeat for Login & Reset**
Follow the same steps to create login and reset password pages. You can handle these the same way as the sign-up form. Easy peasy!
**Step 3.2: Secure Your Dashboard**
Don’t want just anyone peeking into your dashboard? Protect that route by ensuring users are logged in:
```
// src/App.js
function RequireAuth({ children }) {
let location = useLocation();
if (!Userfront.tokens.accessToken) {
return ;
}
return children;
}
function Dashboard() {
const userData = JSON.stringify(Userfront.user, null, 2);
return (
Dashboard
{userData}
);
}
```
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Now your users need to log in before they can access the dashboard. 🔒
