app.get('/start-verification', async (req, res) => {
const trustedClient = new TrustedAccountsClient(
"CLIENT_ID", // Your Client ID
"REDIRECT_URL" // Your Redirect URI
);
// Generate the verification URL
const verificationUrl = await trustedClient.generateVerificationLink(
'foo@bar.com', // The email of the user you want to validate
);
// Redirect the user to the verification page
// or create a verification button to trigger it manually
res.redirect(verificationUrl);
});
app.get('/callback', async (req, res) => {
const trustedCallback = await taClient.handleCallback(req.originalUrl);
res.send(`Verification completed! Trusted ID: ${trustedCallback.trustedId}`);
});
app.get('/user', async (req, res) => {
const user = await taClient.getUser('USER_TRUSTED_ID');
res.json(user);
});
