Stytch Node.js Library

The Stytch Node library makes it easy to use the Stytch user infrastructure API in server-side JavaScript applications.

It pairs well with the Stytch Web SDK or your own custom authentication flow.

Install

npm install stytch
# or
yarn add stytch

Usage

You can find your API credentials in the Stytch Dashboard.

Create an API client:

const stytch = require("stytch");
// Or as an ES6 module:
// import * as stytch from "stytch";

const client = new stytch.Client({
  project_id: "project-live-c60c0abe-c25a-4472-a9ed-320c6667d317",
  secret: "secret-live-80JASucyk7z_G8Z-7dVwZVGXL5NT_qGAQ2I=",
  env: stytch.envs.test,
});

Send a magic link by email:

client.magicLinks.email
  .loginOrCreate({
    email: "[e-mail]",
    login_magic_link_url: "https://example.com/authenticate",
    signup_magic_link_url: "https://example.com/authenticate",
  })
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Authenticate the token from the magic link:

client.magicLinks
  .authenticate("DOYoip3rvIMMW5lgItikFK-Ak1CfMsgjuiCyI7uuU94=")
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Handling Errors

Stytch errors always include an error_type field you can use to identify them:

client.magicLinks
  .authenticate("not-a-token!")
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => {
    if (err.error_type === "invalid_token") {
      console.log("Whoops! Try again?");
    }
  });

Learn more about errors in the docs.
