Create Sessions

A session is a way to authenticate a user and get a token that can be used to access the Blokay platform.

Option 1: Use a RESTful API to obtain a JWT token

curl

NodeJS

PHP

Java


bash
curl -X POST https://app.blokay.com/api.brain/createSession \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "businessId": "your-business-id",
    YOUR_DATA_HERE
  }'

Option 2: Use React component to login


tsx
import { SignOut, SignIn, SignForm } from "@blokay/react";
 
function App() {
  return (
    <div className="container mx-auto">
      <SignOut>
        {/*This is only visible if the user is not signed in*/}
        <SignForm />
      </SignOut>
      <SignIn>{/*This is only visible if the user is signed in*/}</SignIn>
    </div>
  );
}

Option 3: Create JWT for your own


js
import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";
 
const getJWT = () => {
  // create params
  const params = {
    businessId: 16, // your business id
    session: {}, // your session data
    token: `blokay-YOUR-TOKEN`, // your token
    expiresIn: "1h", // session expires in
  };
 
  return jwt.sign(
    {
      data: { session: params.session },
      businessId: params.businessId,
    },
    params.token,
    {
      expiresIn: params.expiresIn,
    }
  );
};
