Refold provides native SDKs that handle authentication, third-party app interaction, end-user configuration, and integration delivery — so you can ship native integrations without building the plumbing yourself. This page covers what each SDK does, when to choose it, and where to install it.

​
Choose your SDK

React SDK

Pre-built UI. Drop the Refold connect modal and auth flow directly into a React app. The fastest path to a working integration in production.

JavaScript SDK

Headless. A framework-agnostic client for building a fully custom integration UI in any web app.

Node SDK

Server-side. Recommended for production: more control, tighter security, and the ability to design the entire end-user experience from your backend.

​
Client-side SDKs

Use a client-side SDK when the integration UX lives in the browser — for example, an in-app “Connect to Salesforce” button that opens a connect modal.

React SDK

Pre-built React components and a turn-key connect modal. Wire it up in minutes with <RefoldConnect />.

JavaScript SDK

Headless client for vanilla JS, Vue, Svelte, or any frontend stack. Build the UI you want; the SDK handles auth, tokens, and event firing.
When to pick client-side:
  • You want users to authenticate against third-party apps directly from your frontend.
  • You’re prototyping or shipping a self-serve integration flow.
  • You want the fastest time-to-first-integration.

​
Server-side SDK

Use the server-side SDK when integrations are orchestrated from your backend — recommended for production.

Node SDK

Programmatic access to linked accounts, workflows, events, and the rest of the Refold API from a Node.js server. Pairs with whatever frontend you build.
When to pick server-side:
  • You want full control over the connect flow and credential storage.
  • You’re building enterprise-grade integrations that need server-issued tokens.
  • You want to keep API keys off the client and orchestrate workflows from trusted infrastructure.
