### Annotation services
These settings configure which annotation services the client connects to and where
it loads assets from. By default, the client will connect to the public
Hypothesis service at [hypothes.is](https://hypothes.is).
#### `assetRoot`
_String_. The URL from which client assets are loaded.
#### `sidebarAppUrl`
_String_. The URL for the sidebar application which displays annotations
(Default: _https://hypothes.is/app.html_).
The `services` setting configures which annotation services the client
connects to (for example to login, retrieve annotations, and save annotations).
By default, if no `services` setting is given, the client connects to the
public Hypothesis service at [hypothes.is](https://hypothes.is).
#### `services`
_Array_. A list of additional annotation services which the client should
retrieve annotations from, optionally including information about the identity
of the user on that service. This list is in addition to the public
[Hypothesis](https://hypothes.is/) service.
_Array_. A list of alternative annotation services which the client should
connect to instead of connecting the the public Hypothesis service at
[hypothes.is](https://hypothes.is/).
May optionally include information (in the form of a grant token) about the
identity of the user accounts that the client is logged in to on those
services.

the first item in this `services` array is used, and any further items in the

Each item in the `services` array should be an object describing an annotation

* `authority` _String_. The domain name which the annotation service is
associated with.
* `icon` _String|null_. The URL to an image for the annotation service. This image will appear to the left of the name of the currently selected group. The image should be suitable for display at 16x16px and the recommended format is SVG.
* `grantToken` _String|null_. An OAuth 2 grant token which the client can
exchange for an access token in order to make authenticated requests to the
service. If _null_, the user will be able to read but not create or modify
annotations. (Default: _null_)
* `onLoginRequest` _function_. A JavaScript function that the Hypothesis client
will call in order to login (for example, when the user clicks a login button
in the Hypothesis client's sidebar).

No arguments are passed to the `onLoginRequest` function.
The `onLoginRequest` function should cause a login procedure for the hosting

These settings configure where the client's assets are loaded from.
**N.B.** These settings are currently still experimental and may change without
warning.
#### `assetRoot`
_String_. The root URL from which assets are loaded. This should be set to the
URL where the contents of the `hypothesis` package are hosted, including the
trailing slash. (Default: For production builds:
_https://cdn.hypothes.is/hypothesis/X.Y.Z/_, for development builds:
_http://localhost:3001/hypothesis/X.Y.Z/_. _X.Y.Z_ is the package version from
`package.json`)

_String_. The URL for the sidebar application which displays annotations
(Default: _https://hypothes.is/app.html_ . If the `H_SERVICE_URL` env var is
set, defaults to `${H_SERVICE_URL}/app.html`)
