Session management

Methods to authenticate a customer's account and get information about their current session.

Use to authenticate a customer with their email address and password. If the email/password combo is correct, their account will be added to the session, making customer-specific methods available. This will set account_logged_in=true and guest=false.

await swell.account.login('runsincircles@shiverisles.net', 'thepassword')

Use to disconnect the account from the current session. This will set account_logged_in=false and guest=true.

await swell.account.logout()

Use to get information about the customer currently logged in.

Returns an account object, or null if the customer is not logged in.

await swell.account.get()
