Prerequisites

Before you start building with Forage JS, make sure that you’ve done the following, if you haven't already:

  1. Sign up for a Forage account
  2. Register an app
  3. Generate an authentication token and a subsequent session token

You'll need a session token and your FNS number, to initialize Forage JS.

For more information on authenticating with Forage, check out the authentication guide.

Include Forage JS

Add a <script> tag

Include the below Forage JS <script> tag on every page that handles an EBT checkout operation: 

<script type="text/javascript"
    src="https://prod-forage-sdk.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/versions/1.2.3/sdk.js"
    charset="utf-8">
</script>

If you’re using a frontend library like React or a framework like Vue, then you most likely only need to include the tag once in your index.html file.

Or, install the npm package

From your project directory, run: 

npm install forage-js-sdk
