# Extensions

## Extension Output Checker

An Extension Output Checker will check the extension output.

It must implement the interface `Webauthn\AuthenticationExtensions\ExtensionOutputChecker` and throw an exception of type `Webauthn\AuthenticationExtension\ExtensionOutputError` in case of error.

{% hint style="info" %}
Devices may ignore the extension inputs. The extension outputs are therefore not guaranteed.
{% endhint %}

In the previous example, we asked for the location of the device and we expect to receive geolocation data in the extension output.

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```php
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Acme\Extension;

use Webauthn\AuthenticationExtensions\ExtensionOutputChecker;
use Webauthn\AuthenticationExtensions\ExtensionOutputError;

final class LocationExtensionOutputChecker
{
    public function check(AuthenticationExtensionsClientInputs $inputs, AuthenticationExtensionsClientOutputs $outputs): void
    {
        if (!$inputs->has('uvm') || $inputs->get('uvm') !== true) {
            return;
        }

        if (!$outputs->has('uvm')) {
            //You may simply return but here we consider it is a mandatory extension output.
            throw new ExtensionOutputError(
                $inputs->get('uvm'),
                'The User Verification Method is missing'
            );
        }

        $uvm = $outputs->get('uvm');
        //... Proceed with the output
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

The easiest way to manage that is by using the creation and request profiles.

{% code title="config/packages/webauthn.yaml" lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
webauthn:
    …
    creation_profiles:
        default:
            rp:
                name: 'My Application'
                id: 'example.com'
            extensions:
                uvm: true
    request_profiles:
        default:
            rp_id: 'example.com'
            extensions:
                uvm: true
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://webauthn-doc.spomky-labs.com/symfony-bundle/advanced-behaviors/extensions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
