title: Reddit Authorization Provider
description: Add Reddit authorization provider to Aura Auth to authentication and authorize
---

## Reddit

Set up the `Reddit` authorization provider in your Aura Auth instance.

## What you'll build

Through this quick start guide you are going to learn and understand the basics and how to set up the `Reddit` provider for Aura Auth.

<Steps>

<Step>

## Reddit OAuth App

### Register the Application

The first step is to create and register an OAuth App on the [Reddit Developer Portal](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/) to obtain access to the user's resources.

1. Navigate to your Reddit profile and go to **Apps**.
2. Click **are you a developer? create an app**.
3. Fill in the "Name" and "Description".
4. Set the **Redirect URI** to `http://localhost:3000/auth/callback/reddit`.
- _(Make sure to replace `localhost:3000` with your production domain when deploying)_
5. Click **Create app**.
6. Ensure you copy the **Client ID** and click **Generate a new client secret**.

</Step>

<Step>

## Installation

Install the package using a package manager like `npm`, `pnpm`, or `yarn`:

```npm
npm install @aura-stack/auth
```

</Step>

<Step>

## Environment setup

Now, you must configure the environment variables required by Aura Auth, including the Reddit credentials and the encryption secrets.

```bash title=".env" lineNumbers
# Aura Secrets
AURA_AUTH_SECRET="your-32-byte-secret"
AURA_AUTH_SALT="your-32-byte-salt"

# Reddit Credentials
AURA_AUTH_REDDIT_CLIENT_ID="your_reddit_client_id"
AURA_AUTH_REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET="your_reddit_client_secret"
```

<Callout type="warn">
**CRITICAL SECURITY WARNING:** The `AURA_AUTH_SECRET` and `AURA_AUTH_SALT` variables are used to encrypt and sign user sessions.
These MUST be securely generated, highly randomized strings consisting of at least 32 bytes to ensure adequate entropy. Never
hardcode these values in your repository. Use a secure generator (like `openssl rand -base64 32`) to create them, and store them
exclusively in your secure environment variables manager.
</Callout>

</Step>

<Step>

## Configure the Auth Instance

Configure the `createAuth` instance inside an `auth.ts` file located at the root of your project. Ensure you explicitly export the `handlers`, `api`, and `jose` objects.

```ts title="auth.ts" lineNumbers
import { createAuth } from "@aura-stack/auth"

export const auth = createAuth({
oauth: ["reddit"],
})

// Extract the required utilities
export const { handlers, api, jose } = auth
```

<Callout type="info">
The `handlers` object contains mapping utilities for standard HTTP methods (`GET`, `POST`, `PATCH`) as well as a unified `ALL`
handler. This allows you to easily mount the authentication routes across any framework (Next.js, Elysia, Express, etc.).
</Callout>

</Step>

<Step>

## Customizing the OAuth Provider

If you need to define custom scopes, change the response type, or map profile data differently, you can use the provider's factory function instead of a simple string identifier.

```ts title="auth.ts" lineNumbers
import { createAuth } from "@aura-stack/auth"
import { reddit } from "@aura-stack/auth/oauth/reddit"

export const auth = createAuth({
oauth: [
reddit({
authorize: {
params: {
// Override default scopes
scope: "identity",
},
},
}),
],
})

export const { handlers, api, jose } = auth
```

</Step>

<Step>

## Sign In to Reddit (Client & Server)

There are multiple ways to trigger the sign-in flow depending on your ecosystem.

### Sign-in Path (Direct Navigation)

The common route to trigger the auth flow natively without needing a client library is simply navigating the browser to:
`http://localhost:3000/auth/signIn/reddit`

---

### Client-Side (React, Vue, etc.)

You can utilize the `createAuthClient` utility to programmatically trigger sign-ins. You can also define a `redirectTo` destination.

<Callout type="warn">
**Constraint Rule**: The `baseURL` passed into `createAuthClient` MUST exactly match the root domain and path where the HTTP
`handlers` expose their endpoints on the server.
</Callout>

```ts title="components/Login.tsx" lineNumbers
import { createAuthClient } from "@aura-stack/auth/client"

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
baseURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth",
})

const triggerSignIn = async () => {
await authClient.signIn("reddit", {
redirectTo: "/dashboard",
})
}
```

---

### Server-Side (Next.js Actions, Remix Loaders, etc.)

For environments supporting server-side actions, use the programmatic `api.signIn` method securely.

```ts title="actions.ts" lineNumbers
import { api } from "./auth"

export const serverSignIn = async () => {
const response = await api.signIn("reddit", {
redirectTo: "http://localhost:3000/dashboard",
})

// Example returning redirect location
return response.headers.get("Location")
}
```

---

### Session Retrieval

After a user successfully signs in, you can retrieve their session data securely.

**Client-Side:**

```ts
const session = await authClient.getSession()
console.log(session?.user) // The authenticated Reddit user profile
```

**Server-Side:**

```ts
// Note: You must pass the native Web Request object or Headers!
const session = await api.getSession(request)
console.log(session?.user) // Safely retrieved backend session
```

</Step>

</Steps>
