User Login

Call the create_new_session function: API Reference

# needs to be called inside an async function
await supertokens_fastapi.create_new_session(request, user_id, jwt_payload, session_data);

• jwt_payload (type dict) should not contain any sensitive information. This information will be accessible from the frontend.
• session_data (type dict) is stored in your database and can contain any information.
• This will attach all relevant cookies and header to the response sent by your function.

Example

from supertokens_fastapi import create_new_session
from fastapi.requests import Request
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse

@app.post('/login')
async def login(request: Request):
    user_id = 'userId'
    jwt_payload = {'name': 'spooky action at a distance'}
    session_data = {'awesomeThings': ['programming', 'javascript', 'supertokens']}
    
    await create_new_session(request, user_id, jwt_payload, session_data)
    return JSONResponse(content={'userId': user_id}, status_code=200)
