Local First Auth Client Library
JSON →The `local-first-auth` library provides a client-side implementation of the Local First Auth specification, enabling web applications to integrate authentication without relying on backend servers, passwords, or third-party providers. Currently at version 2.2.1, it focuses on providing a lightweight, DID-based (Decentralized Identifier, specifically `did:key`) authentication flow where user profiles and cryptographic keys are generated and stored locally on the user's device. This approach is ideal for temporary or in-person community applications like meetups, social clubs, or game nights, offering a simple 3-step onboarding process. A key differentiator is its serverless nature and focus on local data storage, which simplifies development for specific use cases. However, users must be aware that clearing browser data will result in the loss of their account keys, making it unsuitable for applications requiring persistent or multi-device account access. The library offers both React components and vanilla JavaScript functions for integration, shipping with TypeScript types.
