Class: ReactNativeContainer

ReactNativeContainer is the entrypoint of the SDK. An instance of a container allows the user to authenticate, reauthenticate, etc.

Every container has a name. The default name of a container is default. If your app supports multi login sessions, you can use multiple containers with different names. You are responsible for managing the list of names in this case.

configure()

configure(options): Promise<void>

configure() configures the container with the client ID and the endpoint. It also does local IO to retrieve the refresh token. It only obtains the refresh token locally and no network call will be triggered. So the session state maybe outdated for some reason, e.g. user session is revoked. fetchUserInfo should be called to obtain the latest user session state.

configure() can be called more than once if it failed. Otherwise, it is NOT recommended to call it more than once.

Parameters

options

ConfigureOptions

Returns

Promise<void>


deleteAccount()

deleteAccount(options): Promise<void>
