Integrate Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS App

In this guide, you will learn how to integrate a vanilla HTML/CSS/JS app with the Arcana Auth SDK.

Auth SDK Demo (HTML/CSS/Java App)

Prerequisites

  • Log in to the Arcana Developer Dashboard: https://dashboard.arcana.network

  • Use the Arcana Developer Dashboard to register the app before configuring app settings and integrating with the Arcana Auth SDK.

  • Click on the Social Auth tab in the Arcana Developer Dashboard. Configure and select one or more supported authentication providers for onboarding the app users.

    Configure Authentication Providers

    You may be required to configure additional provider details for different authentication providers. In the case of Google, the developer must use Google Developer Console to set up the app and generate a Google assigned client ID for Google OAuth. This Google ClientID will be configured in the Arcana Developer Dashboard Social Auth settings before integrating the app.

    For details, see how to configure authentication providers.

  • Save the Client ID assigned to the app displayed in the Arcana Developer Dashboard. It is required while integrating the app with the Arcana Auth SDK and creating the AuthProvider.

Steps

Integrating a vanilla HTML/CSS/JS app with the Arcana Auth SDK is simple!

Follow these two steps:

Step 1: Install auth package

npm install --save @arcana/auth

yarn add @arcana/auth

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@arcana/auth"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@arcana/auth"></script>

Step 2: Initialize the Arcana Auth SDK

Import auth and create a 'new' AuthProvider. During instantiation of the AuthProvider, specify the unique Client ID value assigned to the app after registering it through the Arcana Developer Dashboard. Also, specify the Arcana wallet visibility mode via the alwaysVisible parameter to manage the wallet user experience.

const { AuthProvider } = window.arcana.auth // From CDN
//or
import { AuthProvider } from '@arcana/auth' //From npm

const auth = new AuthProvider(
  "xar_test_445007f942xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx484cAfd2", // App client ID
  { 
    position: 'left',         // default: right
    theme: 'light',           // default: dark
    alwaysVisible: false,     // default: true, wallet always visible
    setWindowProvider: true,  // default: false, window.ethereum not set
    connectOptions: {
      compact: true           // default: false, regular plug-and-play login UI
    },
    chainConfig: {
      chainId: '137',                    // defaults to Ethereum
      rpcUrl: 'https://polygon-rpc.com', // defaults to 'https://rpc.ankr.com/eth'
    },
})

Initialize the newly instantiated AuthProvider. 

try {
  await auth.init()
} catch (e) {
  // Handle exception case
}

Initialize First!

The app must use wait until the init call is complete before invoking any of the other Arcana Auth SDK functions such as onboarding users by triggering user login, obtaining the standard Ethereum provider, adding/switching networks in the wallet, etc.

After initializing the AuthProvider, you can call any of its exported functions. See Arcana Auth SDK Reference Guide for details.

That is all!

The vanilla HTML/CSS/JS app is now successfully integrated with the Arcana Auth SDK. Refer to the Auth Examples for working integration examples.

What's Next?

After integrating an app with the Arcana Auth SDK, developers can add code to onboard users and enable Web3 wallet operations for authenticated users to sign blockchain transactions.
