Add a Way to retrieve the Player-Name in Early-Auth

[JulianMa]

Suggestion I like to recommend a Way to retrieve the current Player's name in the Early-Auth CEF Window. This can be an Event, which is being sent to the Browser and on which Scripts can listen to. This way Players dont have to type in their Username.

Use cases Select Server from Server-List -> Early-Auth Window opens -> Username is already set in Login-Field Only the Password needs to be typed in.

Describe the solution you'd like Add an event, which is sent after the document has finished loading. JavaScript in Browser can then Listen to this Event, like this: alt.on('player.name', (name) => { console.log(name)})

Describe alternatives you've considered Dont change anything, but then users have to type in their name everytime they are connecting

@Lhoerion the Scope is purely Client-Side. It's only about Client<->CEF Communication. No Server is needed here.

This is about process to process communication between cef and the client.

Ye, it happens sometimes that wrong label is added

You can use local storage or the existing web features to save session information or token credentials for something like a "remember me" functionality. If the current web features is not sufficient for you, are lacking or somehow don't work as intended, please open a more specific issue for that.

Using the players nickname is not a reliable way to do authentication anyway.

[JulianMa]

@7Hazard i think you missunderstood the issue there. We dont want to save some credentials/sessions, or authenticate the player only by their Nickname. In our Implementation, we have a Login Page in Early Auth, which sets the Auth Token for the Player, when the Login Credentials Match (Username / Password). We basicly just want to "autofill" the Username Input-Field in the CEF-Window with the already entered Username in the alt:V Settings Tab:

At the current state of early auth, player have to enter their Username two different times:

1. Settings -> Username
2. EarlyAuth Window

We try to reduce this to a single time.

[JulianMa]

What about sending a Request-Header, with the current Playername in the Settings?

Added in next release.

How can we get it? Where will be the docs about that?

[C0kkie]

You can emit in the earlyauth

alt.emit("requestPlayerName")

and then you will get a event in the early auth

alt.on("playerName", (name) => { //Do what ever you want with the same in earlyauth })

[JulianMa]

Can someone maybe document this here? I tried, but dont have the rights to do so. https://wiki.altv.mp/wiki/Tutorial:Setup_EarlyAuth

[C0kkie]

That one is outdated, it will be moved to the docs
