Login with WorkOS

To enable WorkOS Auth for your project, you need to set up WorkOS OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Supabase Dashboard.

Overview​

In this guide, we will cover how to use Supabase OAuth with WorkOS to implement Single-Sign-On(SSO).

The procedure consists of five broad steps:

  • Create a new organization from your WorkOS Dashboard.
  • Obtain the Client ID from the Configuration tab and configure redirect URI.
  • Obtain the WorkOS Secret from the credentials tab.
  • Connect a WorkOS Supported Identity Provider
  • Add your WorkOS credentials into your Supabase project

Add login code to your client app​

The JavaScript client code is documented in the Supabase OAuth Reference. Note that you only need to include one of the three parameters: connection, organization, and provider. You can refer to the WorkOS Documentation to learn more about the different methods.

const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
  provider: 'workos',
}, {
   connection: "<your_connection>",
   organization: "<your_organization",
   provider: "<your_provider>"
})

Add a function which you can call from a button, link, or UI element.

async function signInWithWorkOS() {
  const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
    provider: 'workos',
  }, {
   connection: "<your_connection>",
   organization: "<your_organization",
   provider: "<your_provider>"
 })
}

To log out:

async function signout() {
  const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
}
