React Native

#Overview

The Magic SDK for React Native is your entry-point to secure, passwordless authentication for your mobile app. This guide will cover some important topics for getting started with React Native APIs and to make the most of Magic's features.

#Getting Started

The Magic class is the entry-point to the Magic SDK. It must be instantiated with a Magic publishable API key.

#Installation

The Magic SDK for React Native supports both Bare and Expo. Follow the installation steps relevant to your setup.

#Constructor

#Magic()

Configure and construct your Magic SDK instance.

Parameter

Type

Definition

apiKey

String

Your publishable API Key retrieved from the Magic Dashboard.

options.locale?

String

Customize the language of Magic's modal, email and confirmation screen. See Localization for more.

options.network?

String | Object

(String): A representation of the connected Ethereum network (mainnet or goerli).

⁠(Object): A custom Ethereum Node configuration with the following shape:

rpcUrl (String): A URL pointing to your custom Ethereum Node.⁠⁠

chainId? (Number): Some Node infrastructures require you to pass an explicit chain ID. If you are aware that your Node requires this configuration, pass it here as an integer.

options.endpoint?

String

A URL pointing to the Magic <iframe> application.

options.deferPreload?

Boolean

An optional flag to delay the loading of the Magic Iframe's static assets until an SDK function is explicitly invoked. ⁠⁠⁠Set this to true if latency bottlenecks are a concern.

options.useStorageCache?

Boolean

An optional flag to allow the usage of the local storage as cache. Currently it is only used for faster calls to isLoggedIn. When set to true, the magic.user.onUserLoggedOut event listener needs to be used.

#Initialization

Initialize Magic instance.

Bare
Expo
01import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare'
02
03const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY')

#Relayer

To facilitate events between the Magic <iframe> context and your React Native application, the <Relayer> React component must be exposed on your Magic instance.

#Arguments

  • backgroundColor? (String): Used to render a custom background color. By default, the background will be white. If you have changed the background color as part of your custom branding setup, make sure to pass that color to magic.Relayer.

#Example

JSX
01function App() {
02  return (
03    <SafeAreaProvider>
04      {/* Remember to render the `Relayer` component into your app! */}
05      <m.Relayer />
06    </SafeAreaProvider>
07  );
08}

#Auth Module

The Auth Module and it's members are accessible on the Magic SDK instance by the auth property.

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY');
07
08magic.auth;
09magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP;
10magic.auth.loginWithSMS;
11magic.auth.updateEmailWithUI;

#loginWithEmailOTP

Authenticate a user passwordlessly using an email one-time code sent to the specified user's email address.

note

Only available with Dedicated Wallet.

#Arguments

  • email (String): The user email to log in with
  • showUI? (Boolean): If true, show an out-of-the-box UI to accept the OTP from user. Defaults to true.
  • deviceCheckUI? (Boolean): The default value is true. It shows Magic branded UI securing sign-ins from new devices. If set to false, the UI will remain hidden. However, this the false value only takes effect when you have also set the showUI: false. ⁠Available since magic-sdk@19.1.0.

#Returns

  • PromiEvent<string | null>: The promise resolves upon authentication request success and rejects with a specific error code if the request fails. The resolved value is a Decentralized ID token with a default 15-minute lifespan.

#Example

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY');
07
08// log in a user by their email
09try {
10  await magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP({ email: 'hello@example.com' });
11} catch {
12  // Handle errors if required!
13}
14
15// log in a user by their email, without showing an out-of-the box UI.
16try {
17  await magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP({ email: 'hello@example.com', showUI: false });
18} catch {
19  // Handle errors if required!
20}

#Event Handling

Relevant Events

A white-label OTP login flow is available when passing showUI: false to this login method. Here's a short example to illustrate listening for and emitting events during the login flow:

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY');
07
08try {
09  // Initiate login flow
10  const handle = magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP({ email: "hello@example.com", showUI: false, deviceCheckUI: false });
11
12  handle
13  .on('email-otp-sent', () => {
14    // The email has been sent to the user
15
16    // Prompt the user for the OTP
17    const otp = window.prompt('Enter Email OTP');
18
19    // Send the OTP for verification
20    handle.emit('verify-email-otp', otp);
21  })
22  .on('invalid-email-otp', () => {
23    // User entered invalid OTP
24
25    /* 
26      Have the user retry entering the OTP.
27      Then emit the "verify-email-otp" event with the OTP.
28    */
29
30    /*
31      You may limit the amount of retries and
32      emit a "cancel" event to cancel the login request.
33    */
34
35    // cancel login request
36    handle.emit('cancel');
37  })
38  .on('done', (result) => {
39    // is called when the Promise resolves
40
41    // convey login success to user
42    alert('Login complete!');
43		
44    // DID Token returned in result
45    const didToken = result;
46  })
47  .on('error', (reason) => {
48    // is called if the Promise rejects
49    console.error(reason);
50  })
51  .on('settled', () => {
52    // is called when the Promise either resolves or rejects
53  }) 
54
55  /**
56   * Device Verification Events
57   */
58  .on('device-needs-approval', () => {
59    // is called when device is not recognized and requires approval
60  })
61  .on('device-verification-email-sent', () => {
62    // is called when the device verification email is sent 
63  })
64  .on('device-approved', () => {
65    // is called when the device has been approved
66  })
67  .on('device-verification-link-expired', () => {
68    // is called when the device verification link is expired
69    // Retry device verification
70    handle.emit('device-retry');
71  });
72
73  /*
74     In typescript, you may use DeviceVerificationEventOnReceived types for strong typing
75  */ 
76  /* 
77     You may use 'cancel' from white-label otp event 
78     to terminate the unresolved request
79  */
80} catch (err) {
81  // handle errors
82}

#requestInfoWithUI

restricted availability

Universal wallets will soon be merged with Dedicated Wallets into a single product line. Universal apps created before February 7, 2024 will work as expected with no change. See our blog post to learn more.

Displays the wallet widget within an iframe that prompts the user to consent to sharing information with the requesting dApp with OpenID profile scopes. Currently, the only profile scope that can be requested is a verified email. Collecting a verified email address from third-party wallet users (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) is a premium feature but included in the free trial period (see pricing). User must be signed in for this method to return or else it will throw an error.

note

Only available with Universal Wallet.

#Arguments

  • scope? (Object): The object containing requested OpenID profile scopes.
    • email?: String : If the user should be prompted to provide them email as a required or optional field

#Returns

  • A promise which returns an Object: Contains result of the requested scopes
    • email?: String: The email of the user if they consented to providing it in the UI

#Example

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06// after user has already logged in
07const userInfo = await magic.user.requestInfoWithUI({ scope: { email: "required" }})
08console.log(userInfo.email); // the user's email if they consented.

#onUserLoggedOut

When the useStorageCache is enabled, there might be situations where the isLoggedIn function returns true despite the user being logged out. In such instances, an event will be emitted after a few milliseconds, providing an opportunity to manage the user's logged-out state, such as when a session expires.

note

Only necessary with when the useStorageCache option is set to true.

#Arguments

  • callback ((isLoggedOut: boolean) => void): The callback function when the event is emitted

#Returns

  • A function that can be called to unsubscribe from the event

#Example

Javascript
01import { Magic } from "magic-sdk"
02
03// Create Magic instance with useStorageCache set to true
04const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
05  useStorageCache: false
06});
07
08magic.user.onUserLoggedOut((isLoggedOut: boolean) => {
09  // Do something when user is logged out
10  navigation.navigate('LoginScreen')
11})

#OpenID Module

note

This module requires an enterprise agreement. For more details click here.

The OpenID Module and it's members are accessible on the Magic SDK instance by the openid property.

To use the OpenID Module in your application, install @magic-ext/oidc along with magic-sdk.

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06import { OpenIdExtension } from '@magic-ext/oidc';
07
08const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
09  extensions: [new OpenIdExtension()],
10});
11
12magic.openid;
13magic.openid.loginWithOIDC;

#loginWithOIDC

Authenticate users via your preferred OIDC client.

note

Only available with Dedicated Wallet.

#Arguments

  • jwt (String): The OIDC token from your identity provider
  • providerId (String): An alphanumeric ID provided by Magic after successful configuration of your identity provider

#Returns

  • PromiEvent<string | null>: The promise resolves upon authentication request success and rejects with a specific error code if the request fails. The resolved value is a Decentralized ID token with a default 15-minute lifespan.

#Example

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06import { OpenIdExtension } from '@magic-ext/oidc';
07
08const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY', {
09  extensions: [new OpenIdExtension()],
10});
11
12const DID = await magic.openid.loginWithOIDC({
13  // this oidcToken comes from the identity provider
14  jwt: oidcToken,
15  // this providerId is provided by Magic
16  providerId: myProviderId,
17});

#Response and Error Handling

There are three types of error class to be aware of when working with Magic's client-side JavaScript SDK:

  • SDKError: Raised by the SDK to indicate missing parameters, communicate deprecation notices, or other internal issues. A notable example would be a MISSING_API_KEY error, which informs the required API key parameter was missing from new Magic(...).
  • RPCError: Errors associated with specific method calls to the Magic <iframe> context. These methods are formatted as JSON RPC 2.0 payloads, so they return error codes as integers. This type of error is raised by methods like auth.loginWithEmailOTP.
  • ExtensionError: Errors associated with method calls to Magic SDK Extensions. Extensions are an upcoming/experimental feature of Magic SDK. More information will be available once Extensions are officially released.

#SDKError

The SDKError class is exposed for instanceof operations.

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { SDKError } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { SDKError } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06try {
07  // Something async...
08catch (err) {
09  if (err instanceof SDKError) {
10    // Handle...
11  }
12}

SDKError instances expose the code field which may be used to deterministically identify the error. Additionally, an enumeration of error codes is exposed for convenience and readability:

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { SDKErrorCode } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { SDKErrorCode } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06SDKErrorCode.MissingApiKey;
07SDKErrorCode.ModalNotReady;
08SDKErrorCode.MalformedResponse;
09// and so forth...
10// Please reference the `Enum Key` column of the error table below.

#Error Codes

Enum KeyDescription
MissingApiKeyIndicates the required Magic API key is missing or invalid.
ModalNotReadyIndicates the Magic iframe context is not ready to receive events. This error should be rare and usually indicates an environmental issue or improper async/await usage.
MalformedResponseIndicates the response received from the Magic iframe context is malformed. We all make mistakes (even us), but this should still be a rare exception. If you encounter this, please be aware of phishing!
InvalidArgumentRaised if an SDK method receives an invalid argument. Generally, TypeScript saves us all from simple bugs, but there are validation edge cases it cannot solve—this error type will keep you informed!
ExtensionNotInitializedIndicates an extension method was invoked before the Magic SDK instance was initialized. Make sure to access extension methods only from the Magic SDK instance to avoid this error.

IncompatibleExtensions

One or more extensions you are trying to use are incompatible with the SDK being used.

#RPCError

The RPCError class is exposed for instanceof operations:

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { RPCError } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { RPCError } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06try {
07  // Something async...
08catch (err) {
09  if (err instanceof RPCError) {
10    // Handle...
11  }
12}

RPCError instances expose the code field which may be used to deterministically identify the error. Additionally, an enumeration of error codes is exposed for convenience and readability:

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { RPCErrorCode } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { RPCErrorCode } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06RPCErrorCode.MagicLinkExpired;
07RPCErrorCode.UserAlreadyLoggedIn;
08RPCErrorCode.ParseError;
09RPCErrorCode.MethodNotFound;
10RPCErrorCode.InternalError;
11// and so forth...
12// Please reference the `Enum Key` column of the error table below.

#Magic Link Error Codes

CodeEnum KeyDescription
-10000MagicLinkFailedVerificationThe magic link failed verification, possibly due to an internal service error or a generic network error.
-10001MagicLinkExpiredThe user clicked their magic link after it had expired (this can happen if the user takes more than 10 minutes to check their email).
-10002MagicLinkRateLimitedIf the showUI parameter is set to false, this error will communicate the email rate limit has been reached. Please debounce your method calls if this occurs.
-10006MagicLinkInvalidRedirectURLIf using the redirectURI parameter for the magic link flow, this error is recevied if the provided value is invalid for some reason.
-10003UserAlreadyLoggedInA user is already logged in. If a new user should replace the existing user, make sure to call logout before proceeding.
-10004UpdateEmailFailedAn update email request was unsuccessful, either due to an invalid email being supplied or the user canceled the action.
-10005UserRequestEditEmailThe user has stopped the login request because they want to edit the provided email.

-10010

InactiveRecipient

We were unable to deliver a Magic Link to the specified email address. The email address might be invalid.

-10011

AccessDeniedToUser

User denied account access.

-10015

RedirectLoginComplete

User has already completed authentication in the redirect window.

#Standard JSON RPC 2.0 Error Codes

CodeEnum KeyDescription
-32700ParseErrorInvalid JSON was received by the server. An error occurred on the server while parsing the JSON text.
-32600InvalidRequestThe JSON sent is not a valid Request object.
-32601MethodNotFoundThe method does not exist / is not available.
-32602InvalidParamsInvalid method parameter(s).
-32603InternalErrorInternal JSON-RPC error. These can manifest as different generic issues (i.e.: attempting to access a protected endpoint before the user is logged in).

#ExtensionError

The ExtensionError class is exposed for instanceof operations:

Bare
Expo
01import { ExtensionError } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
02
03try {
04  // Something async...
05catch (err) {
06  if (err instanceof ExtensionError) {
07    // Handle...
08  }
09}

ExtensionError instances expose the code field which may be used to deterministically identify the error. Magic SDK does not export a global enumeration of Extension error codes. Instead, Extension authors are responsible for exposing and documenting error codes relevant to the Extension's use-case.

#PromiEvents

Magic SDK provides a flexible interface for handling methods which encompass multiple "stages" of an action. Promises returned by Magic SDK resolve when a flow has reached finality, but certain methods also contain life-cycle events that dispatch throughout. We refer to this interface as a PromiEvent. There is prior art to inspire this approach in Ethereum's Web3 standard.

PromiEvent is a portmanteau of Promise and EventEmitter. Browser and React Native SDK methods return this object type, which is a native JavaScript Promise overloaded with EventEmitter methods. This value can be awaited in modern async/await code, or you may register event listeners to handle method-specific life-cycle hooks. Each PromiEvent contains the following default event types:

  • "done": Called when the Promise resolves. This is equivalent to Promise.then.
  • "error": Called if the Promise rejects. This is equivalent to Promise.catch.
  • "settled": Called when the Promise either resolves or rejects. This is equivalent to Promise.finally.

Look for additional event types documented near the method they relate to. Events are strongly-typed by TypeScript to offer developer hints and conveniant IDE auto-complete.

Bare
Expo
01import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
02
03const req = magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP({ email: 'hello@magic.link' });
04
05req
06  .on('email-sent', () => {
07    /* ... */
08  })
09  .then(DIDToken => {
10    /* ... */
11  })
12  .once('email-not-deliverable', () => {
13    /* ... */
14  })
15  .catch(error => {
16    /* ... */
17  })
18  .on('error', error => {
19    /* ... */
20  });

#Usage

#EVM RPC Methods

Magic supports the following EVM RPC Methods that can be called through a web3 provider library such as web3.js or ethers.js.

Note: starting from magic-sdk@17.0.0, eth_accounts will return an empty array if no user is logged in, instead of prompting the login form. To prompt the login form, use connectWithUI().

  • eth_accounts
  • get_balance
  • eth_estimateGas
  • eth_gasPrice
  • eth_sendTransaction
  • personal_sign
  • eth_signTypedData_v3
  • eth_signTypedData_v4

#SafeAreaView

As of v14.0.0 our React Native package offerings wrap the <magic.Relayer /> in react-native-safe-area-context's <SafeAreaView />. To prevent any adverse behavior in your app, please place the Magic iFrame React component at the root view of your application wrapped in a SafeAreaProvider as described in the documentation.

We have also added an optional backgroundColor prop to the Relayer to fix issues with SafeAreaView showing the background. By default, the background will be white. If you have changed the background color as part of your custom branding setup, make sure to pass your custom background color to magic.Relayer:

Javascript
01<magic.Relayer backgroundColor="#0000FF"/>

#Handle internet connection problems

When an app is opened without an internet connection, any request to the Magic SDK will result in a rejection with a MagicSDKError:

Javascript
01{
02  "code": "MODAL_NOT_READY",
03  "rawMessage": "Modal is not ready."
04}

It's good practice to use @react-native-community/netinfo to track the internet connection state of the device. For your convenience, we've also added a hook that uses this library behind the scenes:

Javascript
01import { useInternetConnection } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
02
03export default function App() {
04  const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY');
05
06  const connected = useInternetConnection()
07
08  useEffect(() => {
09    if (!connected) 
10      {// Unmount this component and show your "You're offline" screen.}
11  }, [connected])
12
13  return <>
14    <SafeAreaProvider>
15      {/* Render the Magic iframe! */}
16      <magic.Relayer />
17      {...}          
18    </SafeAreaProvider>
19  </>
20}

#Re-authenticate Users

A user's Magic SDK session persists up to 7 days by default, so re-authentication is usually frictionless.

Note: the session length is customizable by the developer through the Magic dashboard.

Before re-authenticating a user, install the Magic Client SDK​.

Javascript
01// Bare React Native
02import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-bare';
03// Expo React Native
04import { Magic } from '@magic-sdk/react-native-expo';
05
06const magic = new Magic('PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY');
07
08const email = 'example@magic.link';
09
10if (await magic.user.isLoggedIn()) {
11  const didToken = await magic.user.getIdToken();
12
13  // Do something with the DID token.
14  // For instance, this could be a `fetch` call
15  // to a protected backend endpoint.
16} else {
17  // Log in the user
18  const user = await magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP({ email });
19}
