Approve api action helpers

A tiny library that lets you handle Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) required calls easily.

Usage

Installing

npm install @transferwise/approve-api-action-helpers to install it.

Consuming

This library exports a create function for SCA protected requests. It returns a request wrapper that can be used like a regular fetch request. Use it as follows:

import { create, Mode } from '@transferwise/approve-api-action-helpers';

const request = create({ mode: Mode.PRODUCTION });

const res = await request('https://my-backend-api.com/sca-protected-call', { method: 'GET', ... });

When the backend returns that SCA is required, it will run the user through an SCA flow and retry that request. Also, it will throw an error if you get a 4xx or 5xx response.

NB! make sure that your backend proxies 'x-2fa-approval' response header to the frontend and forwards it back to Wise when this library passes it back. Also please reflect the response status (403) back to the frontend.
