Post signin / signup callbacks

1) On the frontend#

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

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";import ThirdParty from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/thirdparty";import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "..."    },    recipeList: [        ThirdParty.init({            onHandleEvent: async (context) => {                if (context.action === "SESSION_ALREADY_EXISTS") {                    // TODO:                } else {                    if (context.action === "SUCCESS") {                        if (context.isNewUser) {                            // TODO: Sign up                        } else {                            // TODO: Sign in                        }                    }                }            }        }),        Session.init()    ]});

2) On the backend#

For this, you'll have to override signInUpPOST API in the init function call.

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-node";import ThirdParty from "supertokens-node/recipe/thirdparty";import Session from "supertokens-node/recipe/session";
SuperTokens.init({    appInfo: {        apiDomain: "...",        appName: "...",        websiteDomain: "..."    },    supertokens: {        connectionURI: "...",    },    recipeList: [        ThirdParty.init({            signInAndUpFeature: {                providers: [/* ... */]            },            override: {                apis: (originalImplementation) => {                    return {                        ...originalImplementation,                        signInUpPOST: async function (input) {
                            if (originalImplementation.signInUpPOST === undefined) {                                throw Error("Should never come here");                            }
                            // First we call the original implementation of signInUpPOST.                            let response = await originalImplementation.signInUpPOST(input);
                            // Post sign up response, we check if it was successful                            if (response.status === "OK") {                                let { id, email } = response.user;
                                // This is the response from the OAuth 2 provider that contains their tokens or user info.                                let thirdPartyAuthCodeResponse = response.authCodeResponse;
                                if (response.createdNewUser) {                                    // 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.
