JavaScript library

Introduction

The Trusted Twin JavaScript library makes it easy to use the Trusted Twin user infrastructure API in applications written in server-side JavaScript. The library can be used in the browser or Node.js environment. It has Promise-based methods that wrap individual REST API endpoint calls. In TypeScript the definition should be automatically resolved via package.json.
