npm install --save react-linkedin-login-oauth2

We will create a Linked In button (using LinkedIn component), after clicking on this button, a popup window will show up and ask for the permission. After we accepted, the pop up window will redirect to a specified URI which should be routed to LinkedInPopUp component. It has responsible to notice our openning app the authorization code Linked In provides us. You can consider using react-router-dom as a possible solution.

First, we create a button and provide required props

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import { LinkedIn } from 'react-linkedin-login-oauth2';

class LinkedInPage extends Component {
  state = {
    code: '',
    errorMessage: '',
  };


  handleSuccess = (data) => {
    this.setState({
      code: data.code,
      errorMessage: '',
    });
  }

  handleFailure = (error) => {
    this.setState({
      code: '',
      errorMessage: error.errorMessage,
    });
  }
  
  render() {
    const { code, errorMessage } = this.state;
    return (
      <div>
        <LinkedIn
          clientId="81lx5we2omq9xh"
          onFailure={this.handleFailure}
          onSuccess={this.handleSuccess}
          redirectUri="http://localhost:3000/linkedin"
        >
          <img src={require('./assets/linkedin.png')} alt="Log in with Linked In" style={{ maxWidth: '180px' }} />
        </LinkedIn>
        {!code && <div>No code</div>}
        {code && <div>Code: {code}</div>}
        {errorMessage && <div>{errorMessage}</div>}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default LinkedInPage;

Then we define a route to redirect_url and pass LinkedInPopUp to it as follow:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { LinkedInPopUp } from 'react-linkedin-login-oauth2';

import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import LinkedInPage from './LinkedInPage';

class Demo extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <BrowserRouter>
        <Switch >
          <Route exact path="/linkedin" component={LinkedInPopUp} />
          <Route path="/" component={LinkedInPage} />
        </Switch>
      </BrowserRouter>
    );
  }
}

You can render your own component by provide renderElement as following example:

<LinkedIn
  clientId="81lx5we2omq9xh"
  onFailure={this.handleFailure}
  onSuccess={this.handleSuccess}
  redirectUri="http://localhost:3000/linkedin"
  renderElement={({ onClick, disabled }) => (
    <button onClick={onClick} disabled={disabled}>Custom linkedin element</button>
  )}
/>

Earlier, this package might not work in IE11. The reason is that if popup and opener do not have same domain, popup cannot send message to opener. For more information about this, please visit here. From 1.0.7, we can bypass this by open a popup to our page, then redirect to Linked In authorization page, it should work fine. IE11 is supported in 1.0.7. Following is step to support it. (If you don't have need to support IE, please ignore this part)

1. Pass prop supportIE
2. Pass redirectPath which has path route to LinkedinPopUp component, default value is /linkedin (for above example, <Route exact path="/linkedin" component={LinkedInPopUp} /> => redirectPath="/linkedin")

<LinkedIn
  ...
  supportIE
  redirectPath="/linkedin"
  ...
/>
