SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openid-client, cookie-parser, expo-auth-session, expo-secure-store, expo-crypto, expo-web-browser, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Adding authentication to a pnpm monorepo with an Express API, React+Vite web app, and optional Expo mobile app requires wiring up OIDC flows, session storage, middleware, and client hooks by hand. This Skill provides ready-to-copy templates and step-by-step instructions to integrate Replit Auth (OpenID Connect with PKCE) across all three platforms. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Server Auth Stack: Copies Express routes, middleware, and session utilities implementing the full OIDC flow with PKCE, PostgreSQL-backed sessions, and token refresh. - Web and Mobile Clients: Provides a useAuth() React hook package for browser cookie-based auth and an Expo AuthProvider using expo-auth-session with secure token storage. - Database and API Spec Setup: Includes a Drizzle schema for users and sessions plus OpenAPI spec entries for all auth endpoints with codegen support. - Use Case: When a user asks to add login or user accounts to their Replit monorepo project, this Skill scaffolds the complete auth flow—web redirect login, mobile token exchange, session middleware, and logout—in minutes. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to add Replit Auth login and user accounts to your Express and React monorepo project.

Frequently Asked Questions about replit-auth

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add Replit Auth login to an Express and React app?▼

Copy the provided auth routes, middleware, and lib templates into your Express server, mount authMiddleware before your router, and install the @workspace/replit-auth-web package in your React app. The useAuth hook then exposes login, logout, and user state.

How does mobile authentication work with Expo and Replit Auth?▼

The Expo app uses expo-auth-session to open the OIDC provider with PKCE, then sends the authorization code to POST /api/mobile-auth/token-exchange. The server validates it with openid-client and returns a session token stored in expo-secure-store.

Does this work with openid-client v6?▼

Yes, the templates use the openid-client v6 functional API such as client.discovery() and authorizationCodeGrant(). Do not use v5 class-based patterns like new Issuer(), as they are incompatible.

Can I build a custom login form instead of Replit Auth?▼

No, this Skill does not support custom login or signup forms. Authentication is handled entirely by the Replit OIDC provider through redirects, and user-facing UI should use generic Log in and Log out labels.

Why does Metro bundler crash after adding openid-client?▼

Metro can crash watching openid-client's temp cache directory. Add a blockList entry for /.cache/openid-client/ in metro.config.js to exclude it from the file watcher.
