View on GitHub for more details


✨ Features

  • 🔐 OIDC login with PKCE using Descope
  • 🧠 Local JWT session management
  • 🍪 Cookie-based session token storage
  • 👤 Easy access to user profile info
  • 🔁 Automatic session token generation
  • ❌ Graceful error handling
  • 🔧 Overrideable plugin state for customization

📦 Installation

pip install reflex-descope-auth

⚙️ Configuration

Before using the plugin, set the required environment variables.

Create a .env file in your Reflex project:

DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID=<your-project-id>
DESCOPE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/callback
DESCOPE_FLOW_ID=sign-up-or-in
DESCOPE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000
SESSION_SECRET=<your-session-secret>

You can also override Descope’s OIDC endpoints using additional environment variables (see Environment Variables) — useful for custom Descope domains.


🚀 Usage

1. Import and Extend the Plugin

import reflex as rx
from reflex_descope_auth import DescopeAuthState

class State(DescopeAuthState):
    @rx.event
    async def auth_redirect(self):
        yield DescopeAuthState.finalize_auth()
        yield rx.redirect("/")

2. Setup Pages

@rx.page(route="/callback", on_load=State.auth_redirect)
def callback():
    return rx.center("Logging in...")

@rx.page()
def index():
    return rx.cond(
        State.logged_in,
        rx.text(f"Hello, {State.userinfo['name']}!"),
        rx.button("Login", on_click=DescopeAuthState.start_login)
    )

🔧 Environment Variables

Name Description
DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID Your Descope project ID (required)
DESCOPE_REDIRECT_URI Redirect URI after login (default: http://localhost:3000/callback)
DESCOPE_FLOW_ID Flow ID from Descope (default: sign-up-or-in)
DESCOPE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI Redirect URI after logout (default: http://localhost:3000)
SESSION_SECRET Secret used to sign local session tokens (default: default-secret)
DESCOPE_AUTH_URL (Optional) Override Descope auth endpoint
DESCOPE_TOKEN_URL (Optional) Override Descope token endpoint
DESCOPE_USERINFO_URL (Optional) Override userinfo endpoint
DESCOPE_LOGOUT_URL (Optional) Override logout endpoint
DESCOPE_JWKS_URL (Optional) Override JWKS URL for public keys

❗ Error Handling

If authentication fails:

  • The plugin sets an error_message variable in the state.
  • No crashes or exceptions — just check and display State.error_message.
  • Customize handling by subclassing and overriding the default behavior.

📝 Notes

  • Sessions are managed entirely on the client using secure cookies.
  • JWT tokens are signed with HS256 using your SESSION_SECRET.
  • Descope handles user identity and OIDC flow; the plugin wraps it for Reflex.
  • See the full working demo app on GitHub.
