UI Components Reference
Section titled “UI Components Reference”Quick reference for Managed Better Auth UI components
Quick reference for Managed Better Auth UI components from @neondatabase/auth-ui. These components are built with Better Auth UI and work with Managed Better Auth.
Note: Migrating from older imports
Older releases re-exported the UI from @neondatabase/auth/react/ui and @neondatabase/neon-js/auth/react/ui. Those entrypoints are deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. Install @neondatabase/auth-ui directly and run the codemod to update existing imports:
npx -p @neondatabase/auth neon-auth-codemod --write <path>Installation
Section titled “Installation”npm install @neondatabase/neon-js@latest @neondatabase/auth-uiProvider Setup
Section titled “Provider Setup”Wrap your app with NeonAuthUIProvider to enable the UI components. The provider accepts configuration props that control which features are available.
Basic Setup
Section titled “Basic Setup”import { NeonAuthUIProvider } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
import '@neondatabase/auth-ui/css';
import { authClient } from './auth';
function App() {
return (
<NeonAuthUIProvider authClient={authClient}>{/* Your app components */}</NeonAuthUIProvider>
);
}Common Props
Section titled “Common Props”| Prop | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
authClient |
NeonAuthPublicApi |
Required. Your Managed Better Auth client instance | authClient={authClient} |
social.providers |
SocialProvider[] |
Array of OAuth providers to enable (for example, Google, GitHub, Vercel) | social={{ providers: ['google', 'github', 'vercel'] }} |
navigate |
(href: string) => void |
Navigation function for React Router | navigate={navigate} |
Link |
ComponentType |
Custom Link component for routing | Link={RouterLink} |
localization |
AuthLocalization |
Customize text labels throughout the UI | See example below |
avatar |
AvatarOptions |
Avatar upload and display configuration | avatar={{ size: 256, extension: 'webp' }} |
additionalFields |
AdditionalFields |
Custom fields for sign-up and account settings | See example below |
credentials.forgotPassword |
boolean |
Enable forgot password flow | credentials={{ forgotPassword: true }} |
magicLink |
boolean |
Enable passwordless magic link sign-in option | magicLink |
Enable OAuth Providers
Section titled “Enable OAuth Providers”To enable Google sign-in (or other OAuth providers), add the social prop to the provider:
import { NeonAuthUIProvider } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
import { authClient } from './auth';
function App() {
return (
<NeonAuthUIProvider
authClient={authClient}
social={{
providers: ['google', 'github', 'vercel'], // Enable Google, GitHub, and Vercel sign-in
}}
>
{/* Your app */}
</NeonAuthUIProvider>
);
}Note: Google OAuth works with shared credentials for development. GitHub OAuth requires custom credentials. The social.providers prop controls which provider buttons are displayed in the UI. For production, configure OAuth credentials in the Neon Console (branch → Auth) and register provider redirect URIs (see OAuth setup).
React Router Integration
Section titled “React Router Integration”If using React Router, pass the navigate function and a custom Link component:
import { NeonAuthUIProvider } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
import { useNavigate, Link as RouterLink } from 'react-router-dom';
import { authClient } from './auth';
function App() {
const navigate = useNavigate();
return (
<NeonAuthUIProvider
authClient={authClient}
navigate={navigate}
Link={RouterLink}
social={{
providers: ['google', 'github', 'vercel'],
}}
>
{/* Your app */}
</NeonAuthUIProvider>
);
}Customization Examples
Section titled “Customization Examples”Custom localization:
<NeonAuthUIProvider
authClient={authClient}
localization={{
SIGN_IN: 'Welcome Back',
SIGN_UP: 'Create Account',
FORGOT_PASSWORD: 'Forgot Password?',
}}
>Custom sign-up fields:
<NeonAuthUIProvider
authClient={authClient}
additionalFields={{
company: {
label: 'Company',
placeholder: 'Your company name',
type: 'string',
required: false,
},
}}
signUp={{
fields: ['name', 'company'],
}}
>For complete prop documentation, see the TypeScript types exported from @neondatabase/neon-js/auth/react.
Core Components
Section titled “Core Components”Authentication Components
Section titled “Authentication Components”| Component | Purpose | Key Props | Docs |
|---|---|---|---|
<AuthView> |
All-in-one auth UI with sign-in and sign-up forms | pathname |
auth-view |
<AuthView> accepts both path and pathname. Use path for a bare view name (for example, "sign-in"). Use pathname for a full URL path (for example, "/auth/sign-in"); the component extracts the last segment automatically.
Form Components: <SignUpForm>, <SignInForm>, <ForgotPasswordForm>, <ResetPasswordForm>, and <AuthCallback> are also available. <AuthView> includes sign-in and sign-up functionality with a "create account" link to switch between forms. Use the form components separately if you need more control over layout.
OAuth Provider Buttons: OAuth provider buttons (Google, GitHub, Vercel, etc.) appear automatically in <AuthView> when configured via the social.providers prop. OAuth buttons do not appear in standalone <SignInForm> or <SignUpForm> components.
User Management Components
Section titled “User Management Components”| Component | Purpose | Key Props | Docs |
|---|---|---|---|
<UserButton> |
User menu dropdown with avatar | - | user-button |
<UserAvatar> |
Profile picture with Gravatar support | user, size |
user-avatar |
<SignedIn> |
Conditional rendering when signed in | children, fallback |
signed-in |
<SignedOut> |
Conditional rendering when signed out | children, fallback |
signed-out |
<RedirectToSignIn> |
Redirect helper to sign-in page | redirectTo |
redirect-to-sign-in |
<RedirectToSignUp> |
Redirect helper to sign-up page | redirectTo |
redirect-to-sign-up |
Styling
Section titled “Styling”Choose the import method based on your project setup:
Without Tailwind CSS
Section titled “Without Tailwind CSS”If your project doesn't use Tailwind CSS, import the pre-built CSS bundle:
// In your root layout or app entry point
import '@neondatabase/auth-ui/css';This includes all necessary styles (~47KB minified) with no additional configuration required.
With Tailwind CSS v4
Section titled “With Tailwind CSS v4”If your project already uses Tailwind CSS v4, import the Tailwind-ready CSS to avoid duplicate styles:
/* In your main CSS file (for example, globals.css) */
@import 'tailwindcss';
@import '@neondatabase/auth-ui/tailwind';This imports only the theme variables. Your Tailwind build generates the utility classes.
Warning: Never import both paths. This causes duplicate styles.
For customization options, see Styling details within each Better Auth UI component docs page. Example: Auth View styling.
Example Usage
Section titled “Example Usage”Basic Auth Flow
Section titled “Basic Auth Flow”import { AuthView } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
import '@neondatabase/auth-ui/css';
function App() {
return <AuthView pathname="sign-in" />;
}Next.js App Router
Section titled “Next.js App Router”For Next.js App Router, use a catch-all route to handle all auth views. Create app/auth/[path]/page.tsx:
import { AuthView } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
import { authViewPaths } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui/server';
export const dynamicParams = false;
export function generateStaticParams() {
return Object.values(authViewPaths).map((path) => ({ path }));
}
export default async function AuthPage({
params,
}: {
params: Promise<{ path: string }>;
}) {
const { path } = await params;
return (
<main className="flex min-h-screen items-center justify-center p-4">
<AuthView path={path} />
</main>
);
}User Menu
Section titled “User Menu”import { UserButton } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
import { authClient } from './auth';
function Header() {
return (
<header>
<UserButton authClient={authClient} />
</header>
);
}Protected Route
Section titled “Protected Route”import { SignedIn, SignedOut, RedirectToSignIn } from '@neondatabase/auth-ui';
function Dashboard() {
return (
<>
<SignedIn>
<h1>Dashboard</h1>
</SignedIn>
<SignedOut>
<RedirectToSignIn />
</SignedOut>
</>
);
