🔓 Authenticating

Several streams are available to allow your users to authenticate. We will assume that you already have a valid access token.

First steps​

Install @monkvision/corejs from npm

npm install @monkvision/corejs --save

Install @monkvision/corejs from yarn

yarn add @monkvision/corejs

Create a config.js file where you can set your environment variables to the Monk config singleton. Here an example for production:

import monk from '@monkvision/corejs'; // Singleton
import dotenv from 'dotenv'

// Use the env config tool that fit your own project
// For example:
// import Constants from 'expo-constants';
// const config = Constants.manifest.extra;

const env = dotenv.config()

if (env.error) {
  throw env.error
}

const axiosConfig = {
  baseURL: `https://${env.API_DOMAIN}`, // api.monk.ai/v1
  headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*' },
};

const authConfig = {
  domain: env.AUTH_DOMAIN, // idp.monk.ai
  audience: env.AUTH_AUDIENCE, // https://api.monk.ai/v1
  clientId: env.AUTH_CLIENT_ID, // your own client id given by our team
};

monk.config.axiosConfig = axiosConfig;
monk.config.authConfig = authConfig;

After authenticating with the workflow you've chosen, you can set your access token to Monk config singleton.

import { config } from '@monkvision/corejs';

monk.config.accessToken = myOwnAccessToken;
