Usage

This guide is written with the assumption you're using Guardian and Phoenix.

  • Sign up for a Janrain account here.
  • Create your app and a widget for that app.
  • To use the widget paste the javascript into any page you wish to log in from. Make sure you update the janrain.settings.tokenUrl variable.
  • Create a route for Janrain to post back to (this is the value of the janrain.settings.tockenUrl from the step above).
  • In this function all Janrain.authenticate_user_with($TOKEN) with the token that's posted to you. This will either return {:failed} or the signed in User's profile data. You can now store this data locally. %{"profile" => %{"identifier"]}} is unique to each user and can be used as their primary key.
