useAuth is a React hook library that adds authentication to React apps with minimal setup, supporting Auth0 and Netlify Identity via a provider abstraction and XState-based state management. It exposes a simple useAuth() API for login, signup, logout, session checks, and role/scope-based authorization.

Use cases

• add authentication to a React app
• add login and signup to a Gatsby site
• handle auth in a Next.js app
• use Auth0 with a React hook
• use Netlify Identity for zero-config login
• check user roles and scopes in React components
• manage auth state with a state machine

When to choose

• you use React with Gatsby, Next.js, or React Router and want quick Auth0 or Netlify Identity integration
• you want a minimal hook-based auth API with built-in role/scope checks
• you need SSR-safe authentication in a React app

When to avoid

• you use a provider other than Auth0 or Netlify Identity and don't want to write a custom provider wrapper
• you need server-side or cookie/session-based authentication out of the box
• you need a library with frequent updates and active maintenance
