Web Widgets

Web Widgets are embeddable UI elements for common user management interactions including register, sign in, user settings and account recovery. The widgets are configurable to your needs.

Widgets are embedded elements that use iframes. Your app is required to add frame-src exception in content security policy if the domain of Authcore is not on the same origin domain.

Installation

The packages will be published to npm when v1.0 is released

User Widgets

Authcore provides some user widgets for updating a logged in user. These widgets require the accessToken parameter, which can be obtained from the access_token parameter from onSuccess callback in login widgets.

AuthCoreWidgets.Settings

Show the settings of current login user, including password, 2-steps verification, devices (i.e. sessions) and social login sections.

AuthCoreWidgets.SettingPass

Show the page to create Pass as 2-steps verification factor. It shows a QR code to be scanned for registration, once the process is successful it triggers onSuccess callback.

Follow the setting below to configure the page:

<!-- Element for the widget to be injected -->
<div id="authcore-pass-container"></div>

<script>
// Instantiate Pass widget
new AuthCoreWidgets.SettingPass({
    container: 'authcore-pass-container', // Id of the HTML element for the widget
    root: 'https://authcore.example.com/widgets', // Authcore is hosted on the sub-domain of example.com
    accessToken: 'ACCESS_TOKEN_TO_BE_PROVIDED',
    internal: true,
    onSuccess: () => {
        // Handle the case after the factor registration is successful.
    }
});
</script>

Analytics

We provide multiple events for analytics purpose. All events shown below are prefixed with Authcore_.

The events are show below:

Type	Data (if any)	Description
loginWidgetLoaded	-	When a login widget (e.g. register / login) page is loaded
registerStarted	contactType: "email" / "phone"	When a user triggered register
oauthStarted	service: "google" / "facebook" / "matters" / "twitter" / "apple"	When a user triggered oauth from social platform
loginStarted	method: "password"	When a user login using password
navigation	from/to: Page name("Register"/"SignIn")	When a user switch between register/sign in page within Login widget

Because of page reload in redirection, the widget cannot emit loginSuccess and registerSuccess events to the original page. Therefore, it is advised to record the success events manually in the redirected pages (from successRedirectUrl), and pages after signin.
