World App will return responses to your mini app based on the command sent. You can define custom logic to handle these responses with MiniKit. There are two ways to handle responses:
  1. Async Handling: The most common use case is to use async handlers. These let you simply await the commands. The response is returned in the finalPayload object.
Async handlers
import { MiniKit } from '@worldcoin/minikit-js'
// ...

const handleVerify = async () => {
	// ...

	// The async versions of commands, return an object that contains the final payload, which is the response from World App,
	// as well as commandPayload, which is the object that is returned after calling the command.
	const { finalPayload } = await MiniKit.verifyAsync({
		//...
	})

	if (finalPayload.status === 'error') {
		return console.log('Error payload', finalPayload)
	}

	// Verify the proof in the backend
	const verifyResponse = await fetch('/api/verify', {
		method: 'POST',
		headers: {
			'Content-Type': 'application/json',
		},
		body: {
			// ...
		},
	})
}
  1. Synchronous Handling: Synchronous require you to subscribe to the event.
Event listeners
import { MiniKit, ResponseEvent } from '@worldcoin/minikit-js'

export function ReactComponent() {
	// ...
	useEffect(() => {
		MiniKit.subscribe(ResponseEvent.MiniAppVerifyAction, async payload => {
			if (payload.status === 'error') {
				return console.log('Error payload', payload)
			}

			// Verify the proof in the backend
			const verifyResponse = await fetch('/api/verify', {
				method: 'POST',
				headers: {
					'Content-Type': 'application/json',
				},
				body: {
					//...
				},
			})
		})

		return () => {
			// Clean up on unmount
			MiniKit.unsubscribe(ResponseEvent.MiniAppVerifyAction)
		}
	}, [])
}
