Socialid.login.init

Description

Initializes the API to be used by a Social Login application. It's required to call this function to unlock the other Social Login APIs.

This function takes an important option: the loginType. This option controls how the Social Login flow is executed in the browser. You can configure the loginType with one of these values:

• event: the Social Login is performed in a popup and all the steps generate Javascript events. The browser is not redirect to any location.
• callback: the Social Login is performed in a popup and at the end of the process the web page is redirected to the callback url configured in the Social Login dashboard. Intermediate Javascript events are generated.
• redirect: the Social Login is performed via redirects in the following order: website > socialid > social network > socialid > website callback. Popup is not used in this case. This option is useful for places where the browser is limited and cannot use popups.
