@astrox/auth-client

Simple interface to get your web application authenticated with the Internet Identity Service

Installation

Using AuthClient:

npm i --save @astrox/auth-client

In the browser:

import { AuthClient } from "@astrox/auth-client";

To get started with auth client, run

const authClient = await AuthClient.create();

The authClient can log in with

authClient.login({
  onSuccess: async () => {
    // authClient now has an identity
  },
});

It opens an identity.ic0.app window, saves your delegation to localStorage, and then sets you up with an identity.

Then, you can use that identity to make authenticated calls using the @astrox/agent Actor.

const identity = await authClient.getIdentity();
const actor = Actor.createActor(idlFactory, {
  agent: new HttpAgent({
    identity,
  }),
  canisterId,
});

Note: depends on @astrox/agent, @astrox/authentication, and @astrox/identity.
