blockstack-auth
Advanced tools
Blockstack Auth is a Blockstack ID authentication library written in node.js that supports generating, decoding and verifying auth request and auth response tokens.
$ npm install blockstack-auth
var AuthRequest = require('blockstack-auth').AuthRequest,
AuthResponse = require('blockstack-auth').AuthResponse,
verifyAuthMessage = require('blockstack-auth').verifyAuthMessage,
decodeToken = require('blockstack-auth').decodeToken

> authRequest.setIssuer({ username: 'onename.id' })
