How to see users role in react frontend

[fornitori]

Hello, i would like to see whic role a user has, for then showing things in react only if a certain role is enabled for that user.

like this
`if (user.role1) {

return (
  <React.Fragment>
    <h1>The role 1 is enabled</h1>
  </React.Fragment>
)

};`

i tried with the managment api to get roles but that doesn’t work and is not good to call api managment from single page applications, i tried to add roles to metadata but i don’t know how to acces those roles,

somone can help me?

SOLVED
i added a rule in the auth0 library like this

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  const namespace = 'https://myroles.com';
  if (event.authorization) {
    api.idToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/roles`, event.authorization.roles);
    api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/roles`, event.authorization.roles);
  }
}

then in react you can view it in the user from useAuth0() hook:

import './App.css';
import './Loader.css';
import React, {  } from 'react';
import LoginButton from './Components/Login/Login';
import LogoutButton from './Components/Login/Logout';
import { useAuth0 } from "@auth0/auth0-react";
import MainHeader from './Components/MainHeader/MainHeader';
 

function App() {

  const { user, isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useAuth0();

  if (isLoading) {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <br/>
        <div className="lds-roller"><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div>
      </React.Fragment>
    );
  } 
  else if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <MainHeader />
        <h1>Please login!</h1>
        <LoginButton />
      </React.Fragment>
    )
  } 
  else if (isAuthenticated) {
    // <GetRole id={user.sub}/>
    // GetRoleP(user.sub);
    const roles = user['https://myroles.com/roles'];
    let nsIsEnabled = roles.includes('nos-security');

    if (nsIsEnabled){
      return (
        <React.Fragment>
          <MainHeader />
          <h1>Welcome {user.name}</h1>
          <h1>Nos security enabled</h1>
          <LogoutButton />
        </React.Fragment>
      )
    } else {
      return (
        <React.Fragment>
          <MainHeader />
          <h1>Welcome {user.name}</h1>
          <LogoutButton />
        </React.Fragment>
      )
    };
  };
}

export default App;

Hey there @fornitori welcome to the community and thanks a bunch for following up with your solution

Minor detail: For anyone looking at the extensibility bit to add roles to tokens, this is actually an Action.
