webauthn

Register and authenticate passkeys via the Credential Management / WebAuthn API (navigator.credentials).

Import: @rtorcato/browser-common/webauthn

📖 MDN: Web Authentication API · 📊 caniuse: webauthn

createCredential/getCredential need a secure context and throw where Credential Management is unsupported — guard with isWebAuthnAvailable().

Example​

import {
  isWebAuthnAvailable,
  createCredential,
  getCredential,
} from '@rtorcato/browser-common/webauthn'

if (isWebAuthnAvailable()) {
  const credential = await createCredential({ publicKey })
  const assertion = await getCredential({ publicKey })
}

Exports​

  • isWebAuthnAvailable() — feature check
  • createCredential(options?) — registers a new credential via navigator.credentials.create
  • getCredential(options?) — retrieves an existing credential via navigator.credentials.get
