createAuth

Creates an authentication object with the given options.

Example

import { createAuth } from 'thirdweb/auth';
 
const auth = createAuth({...});
 
// 1. generate a login payload for a client on the server side
const loginPayload = await auth.generatePayload({ address: '0x123...' });
 
// 2. send the login payload to the client
 
// 3. verify the login payload that the client sends back later
const verifiedPayload = await auth.verifyPayload({ payload: loginPayload, signature: '0x123...' });
 
// 4. generate a JWT for the client
const jwt = await auth.generateJWT({ payload: verifiedPayload });
 
// 5. set the JWT as a cookie or otherwise provide it to the client
 
// 6. authenticate the client based on the JWT on subsequent calls
 const { valid, parsedJWT } = await auth.verifyJWT({ jwt });
function createAuth(options: AuthOptions): {
  generateJWT: (
    params: GenerateJWTParams<unknown>,
  ) => Promise<string>;
  generatePayload: (
    __namedParameters: GenerateLoginPayloadParams,
  ) => Promise<LoginPayload>;
  verifyJWT: (params: VerifyJWTParams) => Promise<VerifyJWTResult>;
  verifyPayload: (
    __namedParameters: VerifyLoginPayloadParams,
  ) => Promise<VerifyLoginPayloadResult>;
};
