Package Exports
- auth0-js
- auth0-js/src/version
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (auth0-js) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

API
- login(options): Redirects to the hosted login page to initialize an authN/authZ transaction.
auth0.login({
audience: 'url:auth:some-audience',
scope: 'read:something write:otherthing',
responseType: 'token',
redirectUri: 'https://example.com/auth/callback'
});- parseHash(): Parses the url hash in order to extract the token
var authResult = auth0.parseHash();
if (!authResult.error) {
auth0.client.userInfo(authResult.accessToken, function(err, user) {
...
});
}- renewAuth(options, cb): Gets a new token from Auth0 (the user should be authenticated using the hosted login page first)
auth0.renewAuth({
audience: 'urn:auth:some-audience',
scope: 'read:something write:otherthing',
redirectUri: 'https://example.com/auth/silent-callback',
// this will use postMessage to comunicate between the silent callback
// and the SPA. When false the SDK will attempt to parse the url hash // should ignore the url hash and no extra behaviour is needed.
usePostMessage: true
}, function (err, authResult) {
...
});Important: this will use postMessage to comunicate between the silent callback and the SPA. When false the SDK will attempt to parse the url hash should ignore the url hash and no extra behaviour is needed.
The callback page should be something like the following one. It will parse the url hash and post it to the parent document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="/auth0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var auth0 = new auth0.WebAuth({
domain: 'tenant.auth0.com',
clientID: '...'
});
var result = auth0.parseHash(window.location.hash);
if (result) {
parent.postMessage(result, "https://example.com/"); //The second parameter should be your domain
}
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>- client.login(options, cb): Authenticates the user and returns the user token without a redirection. This will not initialize a SSO session in auth0, hence can not be used along with renew auth.
auth0.client.login({
realm: 'tests', //connection name or HRD domain
username: 'me@example.com',
password: '...',
audience: 'urn:auth:some-audience',
scope: 'read:something write:otherthing',
}, function(err, authResult) {
...
