useAuthenticate

Hook to authenticate a web3 wallet against the API. It returns a token that needs to be used as the Authorization header with the value Bearer ${jwtToken}.

Usage

import { useAuthenticate } from '@liteflow/react'
 
export default function Component() {
  const signer = undefined // type of "Signer & TypedDataSigner" Get the signer from the wallet. Need to be an Ethers Signer (https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/)
  const [authenticate, { loading }] = useAuthenticate()
 
  const handleClick = async () => {
    if (!signer) return
 
    const { accountAddress, jwtToken } = await authenticate(signer)
    alert(
      `Your authentication token for address ${accountAddress} is ${jwtToken}`,
    )
  }
 
  return (
    <button onClick={handleClick} disabled={loading}>
      Authenticate
    </button>
  )
}

Return values

[
  (signer: Signer & TypedDataSigner) => Promise<void>, // authenticate. function to authenticate, you need to pass a signer
  {
    loading: boolean // Returns "true" if still authenticating
    setAuthenticationToken: (token: string) => void // Set an authentication token.
    resetAuthenticationToken: () => void // Clears the authentication token
  }
]

authenticate

Function to authenticate a wallet

Arguments:

signer: Signer | undefined // Ethers signer: https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/

loading

Returns true if still authenticating

setAuthenticationToken

Set the authentication token. Useful when your app saves a user's authentication token in a permanent storage (e.g: local storage or cookie) and want to bypass the authentication. Can be use to allow a user's wallet to autoconnect and not have to sign the authentication message again.

resetAuthenticationToken

Clears the authentication token
