Installation

First, you need to set up a Corbado project. To get started with the integration, either install the Corbado web-js package via npm or add the JavaScript library via CDN.

Note: UI components added via CDN do currently not support icon coloring which may impact dark mode and other custom UI stylings.

Set up Corbado

As a prerequisite to all future actions, Corbado has to be loaded. We do this by using the Corbado.load function.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link
        rel="stylesheet"
        href="https://unpkg.com/@corbado/web-js@2/dist/bundle/index.css"
    />
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/@corbado/web-js@2/dist/bundle/index.js"></script>
<body>
    <script type="module">
        await Corbado.load({
            projectId: "pro-XXX"
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Corbado.load() must be called on every page to make session refresh work.
