import { StytchClient } from '@stytch/vanilla-js';

const stytch = new StytchClient('${publicToken}');

export const authenticate = async () => {
stytch.session.updateSession({
  session_token: 'a session token from your backend',
  session_jwt: 'a session JWT from your backend',
});

const session = await stytch.session.authenticate({ session_duration_minutes: 60 });
};
Update a user’s session tokens to hydrate a front-end session from the backend. For example, if you log your users in with one of our backend SDKs, you can pass the resulting session_token and session_jwt to this method to prime the frontend SDK with a valid set of tokens. You must then make an authenticate call to authenticate the session tokens and retrieve the user’s current session.

​
Parameters

​
tokens
object
The session tokens to update the front-end session.
