Setting up User Pool in AWS Cognito

Setting up User Pool in AWS Cognito

It's easy to get started with User Pool in AWS Cognito for your application.

Go to AWS Cognito

Click Manage User Pools


Click Create a user pool (top right corner)


Give it a name and click Review Default


As part of default, only email is required.

Scroll all the way to bottom and click


On the next screen, you should see a notification that the pool was created successfully

Save the Pool Id


You can also retrieve this Pool Id later by selecting the pool and then selecting General settings
 

Click App Clients (sub-category of General settings)


Click add an app client


Give it a name and deselect all options





Create and save App client id


That's it. Now you can use Pool ID and App Client ID in your application, such as config.js.

window._config = {
    cognito: {
        userPoolId: 'us-east-1_xxx', // e.g. us-east-2_uXboG5pAb
        userPoolClientId: '32', // e.g. 25ddkmj4v6hfsfvruhpfi7n4hv
        region: 'us-east-1' // e.g. us-east-2
    },
    api: {
        invokeUrl: 'https://xyz.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod' // e.g. https://rc7nyt4tql.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod',
    }
};
