Authentication React Hooks

Makerkit provides a set of React hooks to help you manage authentication in your React application. These hooks are an addition to the ones provided by reactfire.

useUserSession

This hook returns the current user session. It contains the user's auth data from Firebase, and its data record from Firestore. Basically, it wraps the UserSessionContext value.

import { useUserSession } from "~/core/hooks/use-user-session";
const userSession = useUserSession();

useUserId

This hook returns the current user's ID.

import { useUserId } from "~/core/hooks/use-user-id";
const userId = useUserId();

useCreateServerSideSession

This hook returns a function that can be used to create a server-side session. It is useful for creating a session when a user logs in, or when a user is created.

You shouldn't be needing this unless you're customizing the authentication flow.

import { useCreateServerSideSession } from "~/core/hooks/use-create-server-side-session";
const [sessionRequest, { loading, error }] = useCreateServerSideSession();
