Initialize Forage JS

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

 <td style={{textAlign:"left"}}>string</td>
 <td style={{textAlign:"left"}}>A unique Merchant ID that Forage provides during onboarding. For example, <code>123ab45c67</code>. The Merchant ID can be found in the <a href="https://dashboard.sandbox.joinforage.app/login/">Sandbox</a> or <a href="https://dashboard.joinforage.app/login/">Production</a> Dashboard.</td>

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
