Create a token

Problem

You need to create a token in the current database.

Solution

Use the Login function:

try
{
    Value result = await client.Query(
        Login(
            Ref(Collection("characters"), "181388642114077184"),
            Obj("password", "abracadabra")
        )
    );
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
}
ObjectV(ref: RefV(id = "309834562535424512", collection = RefV(id = "tokens")),ts: LongV(1631740114630000),instance: RefV(id = "181388642114077184", collection = RefV(id = "characters", collection = RefV(id = "collections"))),secret: StringV(fnEETMDknxACAARMwOIEYAYAhr4xpyR13i1E4TokiFwAYsPz0LE))
result, err := client.Query(
	f.Login(
		f.Ref(f.Collection("characters"), "181388642114077184"),
		f.Obj{"password": "abracadabra"},
	))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}

System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Login(
            Ref(Collection("characters"), Value("181388642114077184")),
            Obj("password", Value("abracadabra"))
        )
    ).get());
{ref: ref(id = "309834736999596544", collection = ref(id = "tokens")), ts: 1631740281020000, instance: ref(id = "181388642114077184", collection = ref(id = "characters", collection = ref(id = "collections"))), secret: "fnEETMENPfACAARMwQoysAYAe-Q6mGG3S3glkNI8g0MICqKvQzA"}

    { password: 'abracadabra' },
  )
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))
{
  ref: Ref(Tokens(), "309833836335727104"),

You can also create one directly, if the identity document does not have any credentials defined:

try

    Value result = await client.Query(
        Create(
            Tokens(),
            Obj(
                "instance", Ref(

                )
            )

    Console.WriteLine(result);
}

The token’s secret is only ever shown once, in the response from the Login function. If you lose the secret, delete the token and create a new one.
