signIn()

Initiates the sign in process for the user. This will open a popup window with the appropriate authentication method. Puter automatically handles the authentication process and will resolve the promise when the user has signed in.

It is important to note that all essential methods in Puter handle authentication automatically. This method is only necessary if you want to handle authentication manually, for example if you want to build your own custom authentication flow.

Syntax

puter.auth.signIn();

Parameters

None

Return value

A Promise that will resolve to true when the user has signed in. The promise will never reject.

Example

<html>
<body>
    <script src="https://js.puter.com/v2/"></script>
    <button id="sign-in">Sign in</button>
    <script>
        // Because signIn() opens a popup window, it must be called from a user action.
        document.getElementById('sign-in').addEventListener('click', async () => {
            // signIn() will resolve when the user has signed in.
            await puter.auth.signIn().then((res) => {
                puter.print('Signed in<br>' + JSON.stringify(res));
            });
        });
    </script>
</body>
