# Stytch Vanilla JavaScript example application
## Overview
This example application demonstrates how one may use Stytch within a Vanilla JavaScript application. There is a wide ecosystem of tools for building and serving JavaScript web apps each with their own implementation style and flavor. For that reason, this example is unopinionated and does not use additional tooling other than HTML, CSS, and our Vanilla JavaScript SDK. The entire application is served out of the `public` directory using [`http-server`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server).
This project uses Stytch's [JavaScript SDK](https://stytch.com/docs/sdks/javascript-sdk) which provides pre-built UI components and headless methods to securely interact with Stytch.
This application features Email Magic Links and Google OAuth for authentication, as well as our Sessions Management product to manage user sessions. You can use this application's source code as a learning resource, or use it as a jumping off point for your own project. We are excited to see what you build with Stytch!
## Set up
Follow the steps below to get this application fully functional and running using your own Stytch credentials.
### In the Stytch Dashboard
1. Create a [Stytch](https://stytch.com/) account. Once your account is set up a Project called "My first project" will be automatically created for you.
2. Within your new Project, navigate to [SDK configuration](https://stytch.com/dashboard/sdk-configuration), and make the following changes:
- Click **Enable SDK**.
- Under **Authorized environments** add the domain `http://localhost:3000`.
- Within the **Email Magic Links** drawer, toggle on **Enable the LoginOrCreate Flow**.
- Toggle on **OAuth**.
3. Navigate to [Redirect URLs](https://stytch.com/dashboard/redirect-urls), and add `http://localhost:3000` as the types **Login** and **Sign-up**.
4. Navigate to [OAuth](https://stytch.com/dashboard/oauth), and set up login for Google in the Test environment. Follow all the instructions provided in the Dashboard. If you are not interested in OAuth login you can skip this step. However, the _Continue with Google_ button in this application will not work.
5. Finally, navigate to [API Keys](https://stytch.com/dashboard/api-keys), and copy your `public_token`. You will need this value later on.
### On your machine
In your terminal clone the project and install dependencies:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/stytchauth/stytch-javascript-example.git
cd stytch-javascript-example
npm i
```
Next, open the file `public/js/app.js` and replace the value assigned to the constant `STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN` with your `public_token`.
```js
const STYTCH_PUBLIC_TOKEN = "public-token-test-123abcd-1234-1234-abcd-123123abcabc";
```
## Running locally
After completing all the set up steps above the application can be run with the command:
```bash
npm run dev
```
The application will be available at [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000).
You'll be able to login with Email Magic Links or Google OAuth and see your Stytch User object, Stytch Session, and see how logging out works.
## Next steps
This example app showcases a small portion of what you can accomplish with Stytch. Here are a few ideas to explore:
1. Add additional login methods like [Passwords](https://stytch.com/docs/passwords#guides_getting-started-sdk).
2. Replace the pre-built UI with your own using by using the SDK's [headless methods](https://stytch.com/docs/sdks/javascript-sdk).
3. Replace the Google OAuth button with the high converting [Google One Tap UI](https://stytch.com/docs/oauth#guides_google-sdk).
4. Secure your app further by building MFA authentication using methods like [WebAuthn](https://stytch.com/docs/sdks/javascript-sdk#webauthn).
5. Use [Stytch Sessions](https://stytch.com/docs/sessions) to secure your backend.
