# SimpleWebAuthn  [](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=simplewebauthn) [](https://jsr.io/@simplewebauthn) - [Overview](#overview) - [Installation](#installation) - [Documentation](#documentation) - [Sponsors](#sponsors) - [Example](#example) - [Contributions](#contributions) - [Development](#development) ## Overview This project features two complimentary libraries to help reduce the amount of work needed to incorporate WebAuthn into a website. The following packages are maintained here: - [@simplewebauthn/server](https://github.com/MasterKale/SimpleWebAuthn/tree/master/packages/server) - [@simplewebauthn/browser](https://github.com/MasterKale/SimpleWebAuthn/tree/master/packages/browser) ## Installation SimpleWebAuthn can be installed from **[NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%40simplewebauthn)** and **[JSR](https://jsr.io/@simplewebauthn)** in **Node LTS 20.x and higher**, **Deno v1.43 and higher** projects, and other compatible runtimes (Cloudflare Workers, Bun, etc...) See the packages' READMEs for more specific installation information. ## Documentation In-depth documentation for this project is available at https://simplewebauthn.dev/docs ## Sponsors Thank you very much to those who sponsor my work.

### 🏅 Gold Sponsor ## Example For a practical guide to implementing these libraries, take a look at the [example project](https://github.com/MasterKale/SimpleWebAuthn/tree/master/example). It includes a single-file Express server and a few HTML files that, combined with the packages in this repo, are close to all it takes to get up and running with WebAuthn. ## Contributions The SimpleWebAuthn project is not currently open to external contributions. Please [submit an Issue](https://github.com/MasterKale/SimpleWebAuthn/issues/new/choose) and fill out the provided template with as much information as possible if you have found a bug in need of fixing. You can also [submit an Issue](https://github.com/MasterKale/SimpleWebAuthn/issues/new/choose) to request new features, or to suggest changes to existing features. ## Development Install the following before proceeding: - **Deno v2.4.x** After pulling down the code, set up dependencies: ```sh $> deno install ``` To run unit tests for all workspace packages, use the `test` series of scripts: ```sh # Run an individual package's tests $> cd packages/browser/ && deno task test $> cd packages/server/ && deno task test ``` Tests can be run in watch mode with the `test:watch` series of scripts: ```sh $> cd packages/browser/ && deno task test:watch $> cd packages/server/ && deno task test:watch ```
