Client.getToken() method

Obtain a token per user (identity) for interacting with the remote API.

Signature:

getToken(identity: Identity, ctx?: ContextInterface): Promise<string>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
identity	Identity	A user identity to use for creating records in the database. A random identity can be created with `Client.randomIdentity(), however, it is not easy/possible to migrate identities after the fact. Please store or otherwise persist any identity information if you wish to retrieve user data later, or use an external identity provider.
ctx	ContextInterface	Context object containing web-gRPC headers and settings.

Returns:

Promise<string>

Example

import {Client, Identity} from '@textile/hub'

async function newToken (client: Client, user: Identity) {
  // Token is added to the client connection at the same time
  const token = await client.getToken(user)
  return token
}
