Live demo

This is an example showing how to use @dfinity/auth-client.

To get started, you might want to explore the project directory structure and the default configuration file. Working with this project in your development environment will not affect any production deployment or identity tokens.

To learn more before you start working with auth_demo, see the following documentation available online:

• Quick Start
• SDK Developer Tools
• Motoko Programming Language Guide
• Motoko Language Quick Reference

Setting up for local development

To get started, start a local dfx development environment in this directory with the following steps:

cd auth-client-demo/
dfx start --background
dfx deploy

Then, make sure you have the Internet Identity repo cloned locally.

cd ../internet-identity
rm -rf .dfx/local
II_ENV=development dfx deploy --no-wallet --argument '(null)'

Copy the canister ID fom the Internet Identity canister, and paste it into webpack.config.js in this project on the LOCAL_II_CANISTER variable on line 8.

Finally, cd back into the auth-client-demo directory and start the development server with npm start.

You can now access the app at http://localhost:8080.
