@authgear/react-native / ReactNativeContainer

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.

Methods

authenticate

▸ authenticate(options): Promise<AuthenticateResult>

authenticate() starts the authentication process in a UIImplementation. After authentication, the UIImplementation will be closed and the user is logged in. After this method resolves, biometric authentication is disabled. Call enableBiometric() again to enable biometric authentication for the new signed in user.

You can refer to AuthenticateOptions for more customization.

Parameters

Name	Type
options	AuthenticateOptions

Returns

Promise<AuthenticateResult>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:941

---

authenticateAnonymously

▸ authenticateAnonymously(): Promise<AuthenticateResult>

authenticateAnonymously() creates an anonymous user without showing any UI. You may first enable Anonymous Users in Authgear Portal (Your project > Authentication > Anonymous Users > Enable anonymous users).

Returns

Promise<AuthenticateResult>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:999

---

authenticateBiometric

▸ authenticateBiometric(options): Promise<AuthenticateResult>

Authenticate with biometric authentication. Platform specific biometric authentication UI will be shown. You may first enable biometric authentication in Authgear Portal (Your Project > Authentication > Biometric > Enable biometric authentication).

You can refer to BiometricOptions for more customization.

Parameters

Name	Type
options	BiometricOptions

Returns

Promise<AuthenticateResult>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:1081

---

canReauthenticate

▸ canReauthenticate(): boolean

canReauthenticate() reports whether the current user can reauthenticate. The information comes from the ID token and the ID token is NOT verified.

Returns

boolean

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:902

---

changePassword

▸ changePassword(options): Promise<void>

changePassword() opens the settings page in a UIImplementation for the user to change their password. After changing the password, the UIImplementation will be closed.

You can refer to SettingsActionOptions for more customization.

Parameters

Name	Type
options	SettingsActionOptions

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:950

---

checkBiometricSupported

▸ checkBiometricSupported(options): Promise<void>

Check whether biometric is supported on the current device. If biometric is not supported, then a platform specific error is thrown.

Parameters

Name	Type
options	BiometricOptions

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:1048

---

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

Name	Type
options	ConfigureOptions

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:930

---

deleteAccount

▸ deleteAccount(options): Promise<void>

deleteAccount() opens the settings page in a UIImplementation for the user to delete their account. After deletion, the UIImplementation will be closed and the user is logged out.

You can refer to SettingsActionOptions for more customization.

options	SettingsActionOptions

Returns

Promise<void>

Defined in

packages/authgear-react-native/index.d.ts:959
