Getting Started

Add passkey login to your existing auth stack. No migration. No new user model.

Try it now — no account needed

Run this in any project. No dashboard, no credentials, no WebAuthn prompt:

npm install @trymellon/js

import { TryMellon } from '@trymellon/js'

// sandbox: true — works instantly, no account required
const client = TryMellon.create({
  appId: 'sandbox',
  publishableKey: 'sandbox',
  sandbox: true,
}).value!

const result = await client.signUp({ externalUserId: 'user_123' })
console.log(result.value?.sessionToken) // → 'trymellon_sandbox_token'

That’s it. Passkey register + session token in 3 lines. When you’re ready for production, swap sandbox: true for real credentials.

Sandbox mode returns a fixed token instantly — no API calls, no WebAuthn ceremony, no HTTPS required. Full sandbox docs →

What TryMellon does (and doesn’t do)

Production setup (5 minutes)

1. Get credentials

Go to dashboard → Create app → Add your origin to Allowed origins → copy App ID and Client ID.

2. Initialize the client

import { TryMellon } from '@trymellon/js'

const clientResult = TryMellon.create({
  appId: 'your-app-id',        // UUID from dashboard
  publishableKey: 'cli_xxxx',  // Client ID from dashboard
})

if (!clientResult.ok) throw clientResult.error
const client = clientResult.value

3. Register a passkey

const result = await client.signUp({ externalUserId: 'user_123' })
if (result.ok) {
  // Send result.value.sessionToken to your backend
}

4. Authenticate a returning user

const result = await client.signIn({ externalUserId: 'user_123' })
if (result.ok) {
  // Send result.value.sessionToken to your backend
}

5. Validate on your backend

// Your backend — Node.js example
const res = await fetch('https://api.trymellonauth.com/v1/sessions/validate', {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${sessionToken}` },
})
const { valid, externalUserId } = await res.json()
if (valid) {
  // Create your own session/cookie here
}
