Utilities to authenticate to Community Solid Server via its API
Supported versions are 6.x and 7.x.
This package is based on Automating authentication with Client Credentials v6 and v7.
import { v6, v7 } from 'css-authn'
// or import { createAccount, getAuthenticatedFetch } from 'css-authn/dist/7.x'
// the methods return a Promise, so you can wrap them in async function, and await them...
// get authenticated fetch
const authenticatedFetch = await v7.getAuthenticatedFetch({
email: 'email@example',
password: 'password',
provider: 'https://solidserver.example',
webId: 'https://solidserver.example/person/profile/card#me', // (optional) if there are multiple webIds associated with the account, you need to specify which one to authenticate with
})
// in version 7, there's also a method to create account and pod
await v7.createAccount({
username: 'username',
password: 'password',
email: '[email protected]',
provider: 'https://solidserver.example',
