@authgear/web / WebContainer

Class: WebContainer

WebContainer 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

authenticateAnonymously

▸ authenticateAnonymously(): Promise<AuthenticateResult>

Authenticate as an anonymous user.

Returns

Promise<AuthenticateResult>

Defined in

packages/authgear-web/index.d.ts:827

---

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-web/index.d.ts:720

---

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 So the session state maybe outdated for some reason, e.g. user session is revoked.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-web/index.d.ts:748
