Forage(ForageConfig) creates a Forage instance. A Forage instance interacts with the Forage server. You need a Forage instance before you can create an EBT Element and perform EBT checkout operations.

The constructor requires a ForageConfig object as its only parameter.

ForageConfig fields

Field	Type	Description
`merchantId` required	string	A unique Merchant ID that Forage provides during onboarding. For example, `123ab45c67`. The Merchant ID can be found in the Sandbox or Production Dashboard.
`sessionToken` required	string	The session token that your backend generates to authenticate your app against the Forage Payments API. The token expires after 15 minutes.
`customerId` required	string	A unique ID for the end customer making the payment. If you use your internal customer ID, then we recommend that you hash the value before sending it on the payload.
`appearance?`	object	A set of global styles that is applied to every EBT Element. Supported values include: * `variables` (parent key): - `borderRadius` - `boxShadow` - `colorBackground` - `colorPlaceholderText` - `colorText` - `fontFamily` - `fontLineHeight` - `fontSizeBase` - `fontWeightNormal` - `padding`
