Generating tokens

Creating tokens

To create a token use the createToken function

import { createToken } from "streamthing";

const token = await createToken({
  id: process.env.SERVER_ID,
  channel: "main",
  password: process.env.SERVER_PASSWORD,
  socketID,
});
return token;
Warning

Generating tokens should only ever happen on the server to avoid leaking sensitive information to the client

Full example
import { createToken } from "streamthing";

// api/get-streamthing-token
const token = await createToken({
  id: process.env.SERVER_ID,
  channel: "main",
  password: process.env.SERVER_PASSWORD,
  socketID,
});
return token;

// Somewhere on the client
const stream = await createClientStream(process.env.SERVER_REGION);
const res = await fetch("/api/get-streamthing-token?id=" + stream.id);
const data = await res.json();
createToken()
