User settings

Change user id​

After creating and initializing the StoriesList, it may be necessary to replace the user in the application. For example - during registration or re-authorization.

To get this - you can use the storyManager.setUserId method.

const changeUserID = (userId: string | number) => {
    storyManager.setUserId(userId);
};
Please note

Do not use personal data (phones, emails, passport data) as a user identifier. userID must be a string not longer than 255 bytes.

All loaded StoriesList instances will be reloaded automatic and will show content for new user.

User Identifier Signature (HMAC Authentication)​

The userIdSign parameter is used to provide an HMAC signature for verifying the authenticity of the user. This ensures that the provided userId is authenticated and has not been tampered with.

If the project needs to sign a user (console security setting), then the parameter userIdSign needs to be passed with userId (works only from 0.23.0):

const storyManagerConfig: StoryManagerConfig = {
    apiKey,
    userId: '1',
    userIdSign: 'signForId_1'
};
const storyManager = new StoryManager(storyManagerConfig);
const changeUserID = (userId: string | number, userIdSign?: string) => {
    storyManager.setUserId(userId, userIdSign);
};

If only userSign was changed (in case if you pass same userId as current) StoriesList instances still will be reloaded

User logout​

const userLogout = () => {
    storyManager.setUserId('');
};
