  method: 'iframe' | 'popup' | 'redirect';
  
  // Optional redirect URI for redirect-based flow
  redirectUri?: string;
  
  // Popup window configuration
  popupOptions?: {
    width: number;

const { 
  token: string | null,
  loading: boolean,
  error: Error | null,
  authenticate: (options?: AuthOptions) => Promise<void>
} = useAuth(config: SDKConfig)

interface AuthOptions {
  // Callback when authentication token is received
  onTokenReceived?: (token: string) => void;
  
  // Callback when authentication completes
  onComplete?: (token: string) => void;
