Intent interface module for Albedo

This library is a lightweight browser wrapper for Albedo API that provides a promise-based interface for all supported intents.

Installation

Usage

Setup

import albedo from '@albedo-link/intent'

Intents

Intent public_key - View public key

Requests account public key. It's a simple way of authentication for Stellar-based applications. The response ensures that a user owns the corresponding secret key.

Parameters

• token (string) - (optional) Verification token generated by the application (should be unique or random).
• callback (string) - (optional) Optional URL callback where Albedo will POST a signed token and public key.
• require_existing (boolean) - (optional) Allow existing Albedo accounts only.

Returns

• pubkey (string) - User-selected public key.
• signed_message (string) - HEX-encoded authentication message derived from the public key and verification token.
• signature (string) - HEX-encoded ED25519 signature of the authentication message that can be further used to verify user's keypair ownership.

Example

albedo.publicKey({
    token: 'r9gbUuThXLr/wOrg2dxWHOO4DQsvQsTpkv1OtfETB3c='
})
    .then(res => console.log(res))

Intent sign_message - Sign text message

Requests arbitrary message signing. Can be used to implement identity/ownership verification.

Parameters

• message (string) - (required) Text message to sign.
• pubkey (string) - (optional) Specific public key requested by the application.
• callback (string) - (optional) Optional URL callback where Albedo will POST a signed message.

Returns

• pubkey (string) - User-selected public key.
• original_message (string) - Text message to sign from request.
• signed_message (string) - HEX-encoded message derived from the public key and original message.
• message_signature (string) - HEX-encoded ED25519 signature of the signed message.

Example

albedo.signMessage({
    message: 'Alice doesn\'t trust Bob'
})
    .then(res => console.log(res))

Intent tx - Sign transaction
