To make your resources page visible only to authenticated users and use Auth0 for authentication in a ReactJS application, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Set up an Auth0 Account: If you haven't already, sign up for an Auth0 account at auth0.com and create a new Auth0 application to get the necessary credentials for authentication.

  2. Install Auth0 Dependencies: In your ReactJS project, install the Auth0 SDK and other required dependencies:

npm install @auth0/auth0-react
  1. Configure Auth0 Provider: In your application's entry point (e.g., index.js or App.js), wrap your app with the Auth0Provider to enable authentication throughout your app. This typically goes around your root component:
// index.js (or App.js)
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Auth0Provider } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
import App from './App';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Auth0Provider
    domain="your-auth0-domain"
    clientId="your-auth0-client-id"
    redirectUri={window.location.origin}
  >
    <App />
  </Auth0Provider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Replace "your-auth0-domain" and "your-auth0-client-id" with your actual Auth0 domain and client ID.

  1. Use Auth0 for Login and Logout: In your application, you can use Auth0 hooks to handle login and logout. For example:
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

const App = () => {
  const { loginWithRedirect, logout, isAuthenticated, user } = useAuth0();

  return (
    <div>
      {isAuthenticated ? (
        <div>
          <h1>Welcome, {user.name}</h1>
          {/* Show your resources page content here */}
          <p>Your resources content goes here.</p>
          <button onClick={() => logout()}>Logout</button>
        </div>
      ) : (
        <button onClick={() => loginWithRedirect()}>Login</button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

In this example, when the user is authenticated, we show the resources page content along with a logout button. If the user is not authenticated, we show a login button using the loginWithRedirect function from Auth0.

  1. Protect the Resources Page: In your application, if you have a separate route for the resources page, you can protect it by using the withAuthenticationRequired higher-order component from @auth0/auth0-react. This will ensure that only authenticated users can access the resources page:
// Resources.js
import React from 'react';
import { withAuthenticationRequired } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

const Resources = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Your resources page content */}
    </div>
  );
};

export default withAuthenticationRequired(Resources);

With this setup, when a user logs in or signs up using Auth0, they will be able to see the resources page with your content. If a user is not authenticated, they will be prompted to log in before accessing the resources page.
