Examples

const publicKey = {
  challenge: new Uint8Array(26) /* this actually is given from the server */,
  rp: {
    name: "Example CORP",
    id  : "login.example.com"
  },
  user: {
    id: new Uint8Array(26), /* To be changed for each user */
    name: "canand@example.com",
    displayName: "Carina Anand",
  },
  pubKeyCredParams: [
    {
      type: "public-key",
      alg: -7
    }
  ]
};

navigator.credentials.create({ publicKey })
  .then((newCredentialInfo) => {
    const id = newCredentialInfo.id;
    // Do something with the id

    // send attestation response and client extensions
    // to the server to proceed with the registration
    // of the credential
  }).catch((err) => {
     console.error(err);
  });
