==== A note about `promiseType`
Throughout the examples in the documentation you will find `promiseType: 'native'` specified wherever {project_name} is initialized.
Historically {project_name} has used its own implementation of promises that is not compatible with native promises as provided by the browser.
By default {project_name}'s own promise implementation (also known as `promiseType: 'legacy'`) will be used if no promise type is specified.
In future versions of {project_name} the default promise type will change from `legacy` to `native`. Eventually, support for legacy promises will be removed entirely. It is therefore highly recommended that you always specify `promiseType: 'native'` to future-proof your code.
==== Native promises and TypeScript
If you want to use native promises and get correct type information when using TypeScript you will have to specify the `promiseType` when constructing a new instance of Keycloak.
[source,javascript]
----
// Typescript assumes this is a 'legacy' promise, all methods return .success() and .error()
const keycloak = new Keycloak();
// Typescript assumes this is a native promise, all methods return standard promises
