The VTEX Login app is responsible for handling user login in your store.

1. Add the Login app to your theme's dependencies in the manifest.json file:

Now, you are able to use all the blocks exported by the Login app. Check out the full list below:

Block name	Description
login	Renders the Login component, as shown in the media above.
login-content	Only renders the login form .

2. Add the login block and its props to your store's header. For example:

The email/password login asks by default two inputs from users:

• The email (user identifier)
• The password

It is possible to set up the User Identifier Extension, allowing other identifiers to be used in the Login's form instead - as long as they can be resolved to the user email behind the scenes.

For example: if your account stores the National Identity Document of each user, the email/password login could be changed to ask for the following two inputs:

• The National Identity Document (user identifier)
• The password

In order to display an identifier other than the user email, you must create an extension app of your own to work behind the scenes with the Login component.

The new extension app should be set up to receive the custom user identifier from the interface, such as the National Identity Document, and link it to the accurate user using the store data. Thereafter, the app should fetch the user email and return it to the Login app, which will behave as if the user just typed in their email.

Find below the needed instructions to perform the User Identifier Extension in your store:

This extension is only allowed for enterprise clients. You can check your account plan in your VTEX contract.

1. Ensure that the Login app is added as your extension app's dependency and that the store builder is listed as one of its builders, as shown below:

2. Develop a new component to replace the email input in the login form. It can be anything you desire for that position, such as a file uploader or a simple text input which takes the National Identity Document.

When developing it, remember that it must know how to convert the custom identifier to an email. This should be done by registering a callback function, which returns an email within the Login app, in the react/{{ComponentName}}.js file. For example:

3. In the store/interfaces.json file, create a new interface for user-identifier, declaring the component you created in the previous step:

The interface name, which is represented in the example above as {{InterfaceName}}, can be any of your choosing. ℹ️ In the example above, the component created in the step 2 is represented by {{ComponentName}}.

4. In the store/plugins.json file, plug in the new interface (user-identifier) to the Login app:

If the store/plugins.json file is not available, you should create it.

Since the Login app behaves as if users were typing their emails, error messages like The email is invalid may appear even if the component is asking users other identifiers. This message, along with others, can be edited in the admin's CMS.

The Login app reads the following query-string parameters:

• returnUrl - Redirects users to the given returnUrl once they are logged in. Caution: This parameter only works for the store's domain and should be UTF-8 encoded (as in javascript's encodeURIComponent).
• oAuthRedirect - Redirects users to the given OAuth Provider page, instead of displaying the native login options. For this to work, the given OAuth Provider must be listed on the component as one of the login options. Caution: The parameter value is case sensitive and must be Google, Facebook or the registered name of the chosen OAuth Provider.
• userEmail - User email data.
• flowState - Default state of the login flow. Possible values:
  • createPass - Sends an email to users with the code required to create a new password. Caution: When used, this parameter also requires the userEmail query string in the same URL.

Use the parameters above to build the Login's desired URLs - through which you will be able to set the expected behavior for the component.
