Nhost JS SDK

Nhost JS SDK is used to handle Auth and Storage.

#Installation

$ npm install nhost-js-sdk

or

$ yarn add nhost-js-sdk

#Setup

import nhost from "nhost-js-sdk";

const config = {
  base_url: "https://backend-REPLACE.nhost.app",
};

nhost.initializeApp(config);

const auth = nhost.auth();
const storage = nhost.storage();

export { auth, storage };

To use cookies (not recomended), use this config:

const config = {
  base_url: "https://backend-REPLACE.nhost.app",
  use_cookies: true,
};

#Usage auth and storage across in your app

import { auth, storage } from "src/utils/nhost";

#Auth

Register

auth.register(email, password);

Register with user_data

auth.register(email, password, { display_name: "Joe Doe" });

Login

auth.login(email, password);

Logout

auth.logout();

onAuthStateChanged

auth.onAuthStateChanged((logged_in) => {
  console.log("auth state changed!");
  console.log({ logged_in });
});

Check if user is authenticated

Can return one of [true, false, null].

• true means users is logged in
• false means users is not logged in
• null means that nhost-js-sdk is trying to login the user, but don't know yet if the user is logged in or not.

auth.isAuthenticated();
