Post signin / signup callbacks

1. On the frontend

What type of UI are you using?

This method allows you to fire events immediately after a successful sign in. For example to send analytics events post sign in.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";
import Passwordless from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/passwordless";
import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";

SuperTokens.init({
appInfo: {
apiDomain: "...",
appName: "...",
websiteDomain: "..."
},
recipeList: [
Passwordless.init({
contactMethod: "EMAIL_OR_PHONE",

onHandleEvent: async (context) => {
if (context.action === "PASSWORDLESS_RESTART_FLOW") {
// TODO:
} else if (context.action === "PASSWORDLESS_CODE_SENT") {
// TODO:
} else {
let {id, emails, phoneNumbers} = context.user;
if (context.action === "SUCCESS") {
if (context.isNewRecipeUser && context.user.loginMethods.length === 1) {
// TODO: Sign up
} else {
// TODO: Sign in
}
}
}
}
}),
Session.init()
]
});

2. On the backend

For this, you'll have to override the consumeCode recipe function in the init function call.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-node";
import Passwordless from "supertokens-node/recipe/passwordless";
import Session from "supertokens-node/recipe/session";

SuperTokens.init({
appInfo: {
apiDomain: "...",
appName: "...",
websiteDomain: "..."
},
recipeList: [
Passwordless.init({
contactMethod: "EMAIL", // This example will work with any contactMethod
flowType: "USER_INPUT_CODE_AND_MAGIC_LINK", // This example will work with any flowType

override: {
functions: (originalImplementation) => {
return {
...originalImplementation,
consumeCode: async (input) => {

// First we call the original implementation of consumeCode.
let response = await originalImplementation.consumeCode(input);

// Post sign up response, we check if it was successful
if (response.status === "OK") {
let { id, emails, phoneNumbers } = response.user;

if (input.session === undefined) {
if (response.createdNewRecipeUser && response.user.loginMethods.length === 1) {
// TODO: post sign up logic
} else {
// TODO: post sign in logic
}
}
}
return response;
}
}
}
}
}),
Session.init({ /* ... */ })
]
});

Using the code above, if createdNewUser is true, you can (for example):

  • Add the user's ID and their info to your own database (in addition to it being stored in SuperTokens).
  • Send analytics events about a sign up.
  • Send a welcome email to the user.
  • You can associate a role to the user.
