React Steam Auth

React Steam Auth is a React component that provides a seamless authentication flow for Steam users. Steam is one of the most popular gaming platforms in the world, with millions of users who already have a Steam account. By integrating React Steam Auth into your application, you can simplify the process of onboarding new users and allow existing users to seamlessly log in.

Features

• Steam login button that can be easily customized to fit in with your application's design
• Retrieval of Steam user data such as SteamID, display name, avatar, and more
• Error handling for when Steam is down or the user cancels the login process

Installation

Install React Steam Auth using npm:

npm install react-steam-auth

Usage

Import the React Steam Auth component into your application and place it where you want the Steam login button to appear:

import React from 'react';
import SteamAuth from 'react-steam-auth';

const App = () => {
  const handleLogin = (steamUser) => {
    console.log(steamUser);
  };

  const handleError = (err) => {
    console.error(err);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <SteamAuth
        realm="http://localhost:3000/"
        apiKey={process.env.REACT_APP_STEAM_API_KEY}
        onSuccess={handleLogin}
        onFailure={handleError}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

You'll need to pass in a realm URL and a Steam API key, which you can get by registering your app on the Steam website. The onSuccess and onFailure props allow you to handle successful authentication and errors respectively.

Customization

React Steam Auth provides several props that allow you to customize the appearance and behavior of the Steam login button:

• buttonLabel: The text that appears on the login button
• buttonStyle: An object of CSS styles to apply to the login button
• buttonClassName: A string of additional class names to apply to the login button
• iconSize: The size of the Steam icon that appears on the login button (default: 24)
• iconColor: The color of the Steam icon that appears on the login button (default: #000000)

Conclusion

React Steam Auth is a powerful tool that can simplify the authentication process for your Steam users. By providing a seamless login experience, you can increase user engagement and create a better user experience.
