useSlashID()

useSlashID() acts as a wrapper on top of the low level /id SDK. The core SDK is designed to be stateless, while this hook will keep track of authentication state changes. It can be used like this:

Usage

import { useSlashID } from "@slashid/react"

function Component() {
  const { user, logIn, logOut, sid, isLoading, isAuthenticated } = useSlashID()
  // ...
}

Whenever logIn and logOut are called the current user value will update making any dependencies render again.
