# Authentication

Materially supports 3 authentication methods:  **Firebase Authentication, JSON Web Token, Auth0**.

{% hint style="success" %}
We provided JWT Authentication by default.
{% endhint %}

## How does it work?

Only authenticated users can access dashboard pages. If a user is not authenticated, the user redirected to the login page.

We implemented to make this work the “Guard” concept. It is simply a component that wraps a route and checks for user authentication status before allowing the navigation. 

We used two guards **GuestGuard** and **AuthGuard**, to find more information about guards, please visit the **Routes.ts** page.

 In the `src/layout/App.tsx`,  we have specified  auth provider **JWT** like,

```
import { AuthProvider } from 'contexts/AuthContext';
```

App components wrap with the provider, like

```
<ThemeProvider theme={theme(customization)}>
  <AuthProvider>  
    <ThemeRoutes />
    <Snackbar />
  </FirebaseProvider>
</AuthProvider>
```

Using AuthProvider, we can use the context directly by importing `useContext` from React and specifying the context AuthContext that we want to use, or we can use the custom hook **`useAuth`** from `src/hooks/useAuth.ts`

## Auth Configuration:

{% hint style="info" %}
You can edit this file at **`[ ../.env]`**
{% endhint %}

```
VITE_APP_VERSION = Version of app
GENERATE_SOURCEMAP = false

## Firebase - Google Auth 

VITE_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY= Firebase Api key
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=  Firebase Auth domain
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID= Firebase Project Id
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET= Firebase Storage Bucket
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID= Firebase Messaging Sender Id
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_APP_ID= Firebase App Id
VITE_APP_FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID= Firebase Measurement Id

## Auth0

VITE_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID= Auth0 Client Id
VITE_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN= Auth0 Domain

```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://codedthemes.gitbook.io/materially-react-material-documentation/authentication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
