title: React Proxy SDK
---
This library can be used with the [Unleash Proxy](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash-proxy) or with the [Unleash front-end API](../reference/front-end-api). It is _not_ compatible with the regular Unleash client API.
For more detailed information, check out the [React Proxy SDK on GitHub](https://github.com/Unleash/proxy-client-react).
## Installation
Install the React proxy client and the [JavaScript proxy client](proxy-javascript.md) packages:
```shell npm2yarn
npm install @unleash/proxy-client-react unleash-proxy-client
```
## Initialization
The snippet below shows you how to initialize the client. We recommend that you do this in your entry point file (typically index.js/ts) to ensure that you only have _one_ instance of it.
The configuration variables are:
- **`url`**
Your proxy's URL or the Unleash front-end API endpoint (`<unleash-url>/api/frontend`).
- **`clientKey`**
One of your proxy's [designated client keys (also known as proxy secrets)](unleash-proxy#configuration-variables).
- **`refreshInterval`**
How often (in seconds) the client should poll the proxy for updates.
- **`appName`**
The name of your application. It's only used for identifying your application and can be whatever you want it to be.
- **`environment`**
The environment that your application runs in. This corresponds to the environment field in [the Unleash Context](../user_guide/unleash-context.md). Note that this is separate from the newer [Environments feature](../user_guide/environments.md).
```jsx
import { FlagProvider } from '@unleash/proxy-client-react';
const config = {
url: 'https://PROXY_HOSTNAME/api/proxy', // or https://UNLEASH_HOSTNAME/api/frontend
clientKey: 'PROXYKEY',
refreshInterval: 15,
appName: 'your-app-name',
environment: 'dev',
};
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<FlagProvider config={config}>
<App />
</FlagProvider>
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root'),
);
```
## How to check feature toggle states
To check if a feature is enabled:
```jsx
import { useFlag } from '@unleash/proxy-client-react';
const TestComponent = () => {
const enabled = useFlag('travel.landing');
if (enabled) {
return <SomeComponent />;
}
return <AnotherComponent />;
};
export default TestComponent;
```
To check variants:
```jsx
import { useVariant } from '@unleash/proxy-client-react';
const TestComponent = () => {
const variant = useVariant('travel.landing');
if (variant.enabled && variant.name === 'SomeComponent') {
return <SomeComponent />;
} else if (variant.enabled && variant.name === 'AnotherComponent') {
return <AnotherComponent />;
}
return <DefaultComponent />;
};
export default TestComponent;
```
## How to update the Unleash Context
Follow the following steps in order to update the unleash context:
```jsx
import { useUnleashContext, useFlag } from '@unleash/proxy-client-react';
const MyComponent = ({ userId }) => {
const variant = useFlag('my-toggle');
const updateContext = useUnleashContext();
useEffect(() => {
// context is updated with userId
updateContext({ userId });
}, []);
};
```
