For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.

GoLang

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

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "..."
    },
    supertokens: {
        connectionURI: "...",
    },
    recipeList: [
        Session.init({
            override: {
                functions: (originalImplementation) => {
                    return {
                        ...originalImplementation,

                        // here we are only overriding the function that's responsible
                        // for creating a new session
                        createNewSession: async function (input) {
                            // TODO: some custom logic

                            // or call the default behaviour as show below
                            return await originalImplementation.createNewSession(input);
                        },
                        // ...
                        // TODO: override more functions
                    }
                }
            }
        })
    ]
});

• originalImplementation is the object that contains functions that have the original implementaion for this recipe. It can be used in your functions as a way to use the SuperTokens' default behaviour.
• In the above code snippet, we override the createNewSession function of this recipe. This can be used to (for example) modifying the session payload when a new session is created.

                        originalCreateNewSession := *originalImplementation.CreateNewSession

                        // Then we override the default impl
