How hard is it to create a custom UI instead of using lock?

[johnjmac49]

I am wondering how custom can you make the lock that there would be no need for me to use a custom UI.

Hey there @johnjmac49, you can customize lock to a certain extent but it all depends on your needs. If you don’t mind do you mind sharing your use case and the overall goal you are looking to accomplish and we may be able to point you in the right direction. I have also included some of our documentation on the subject for historical reference points. Thanks!

Hi thanks James, im making a Spa in react with express server in the backend. I wanted a custom ui to fit my page. On the hosted pages where you can change the page to be a custom template, do I have to copy the code from that page into my code and once ive changed it on there.

Hey @johnjmac49!

I replied to your question in another thread you created:

How do I implement a custom UI Login instead of using lock?

Hey there @johnjmac49! So there are actually a few ways to achieve that. 1) You can either use one of our SDKs to make it happen (relatively the easier way): 2) Create the UI yourself and tie it with our Authentication API hitting the right endpoints: https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication Depends on what are your development capabilities and time resources. Here you can read more about Lock vs custom UI: Hope it helps!

Let’s stay in one thread so as to not create information mess and duplicate info.

Thanks a lot for that!
