OthentKMS connect() function

The connect() function helps users connect with Arweave-based applications using traditional login methods like Google. Once connected, users can perform further interactions with the application using their connected account.

Example Usage

To use the connect() function, import it from the @othent/kms package and call it within an asynchronous function as follows:

import { connect } from "@othent/kms";

const handleConnect = async () => {
  const res = await connect();
  console.log(res);
};

Calling the connect() function launches a pop-up window offering users familiar authentication options.

Result

When connect() successfully executes, it returns an object as follows:

{
	authSystem: "KMS",
	email: "[email protected]",
	email_verified: true,
	family_name: "LastName",
