reactjsHow can I use ReactJS with Keycloak to secure my application?

ReactJS can be used with Keycloak to secure an application by using the Keycloak Adapter library. This library provides a React component that can be used to authenticate users and protect application routes.

Below is an example of how to use the Keycloak Adapter library in a React application:

import React from 'react';
import { KeycloakProvider } from '@react-keycloak/web';

const keycloak = new Keycloak();

const App = () => (
  <KeycloakProvider keycloak={keycloak}>
    <div>My Application</div>
  </KeycloakProvider>
);

export default App;

The code above will create a Keycloak provider that will be used to authenticate users and protect application routes. It will also add the keycloak object to the React context, which can be used to access the Keycloak API.

Code explanation

1. import React from 'react'; - This imports the React library.
2. import { KeycloakProvider } from '@react-keycloak/web'; - This imports the Keycloak Adapter library.
3. const keycloak = new Keycloak(); - This creates a new Keycloak object.
4. <KeycloakProvider keycloak={keycloak}> - This creates a Keycloak provider that will be used to authenticate users and protect application routes.
5. <div>My Application</div> - This is the content of the application.
6. export default App; - This exports the App component.
