IdentityProvider

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The IdentityProvider interface of the Federated Credential Management (FedCM) API represents an identity provider (IdP) and provides access to related information.

Static methods

getUserInfo() Experimental

Returns information about a previously signed in user on their return to an IdP, which can be used to provide a personalized welcome message and sign-in button.

Examples

js

// Iframe displaying a page from the https://idp.example origin
const user_info = await IdentityProvider.getUserInfo({
  configUrl: "https://idp.example/fedcm.json",
  clientId: "client1234",
});

// IdentityProvider.getUserInfo() returns an array of user information.
if (user_info.length > 0) {
  // Returning accounts should be first, so the first account received
  // is guaranteed to be a returning account
  const name = user_info[0].name;
  const given_name = user_info[0].given_name;
  const display_name = given_name ? given_name : name;
  const picture = user_info[0].picture;
  const email = user_info[0].email;

  // ...

  // Render the personalized sign-in button using the information returned above
}
