I come from Git Commit Show

I inverviewed you, in Jan?

Remember? Advait?

Over Discord ?

Yea! Now I do. hehe

This is how I got to know and came here through website ! 😅

Hi everyone 👋 Currently checking out supertokens to use passwordless auth in a flutter app. Judging from the docs there is no ready-made library for that (the one in the repository seems to be outdated https://pub.dev/packages/supertokens)

So my question is - to use supertokens with flutter I only have to implement OpenAPI spec for the frontend driver interface by sending regular HTTP requests? https://supertokens.com/docs/community/apis#frontend-driver-interface

Yes correct. However, it’s a little tricky since you have to take into considerations race conditions when calling the refresh API. Which is why we made the frontend SDK in the first place

If you’d like to, you can contribute the flutter SDK to make it up to date. By taking the vanilla JS (supertokens-website) or supertokens-react-native SDK as a reference

You mean race conditions that can happen by sending refresh token multiple times as talked about here?

Yes. Exactly

in the video it is mentioned that a refresh token tree can be maintained on the backend - is that how supertokens works or should I wait on the front-end to get exactly one new token? Effectively pausing all consequent requests until I get the new token?

A refresh token tree is maintained on the backend, but you still need to synchronise the frontend to do only one refresh at a time. Otherwise you can get a false positive of token theft.

Ah got it

Another (unrelated) question. Are there any plans to make it possible to deploy using DynamoDB database? From what I gather there is no particular need for relational constraints in this project?

We do require transactions and row level locking. Though there can be a way to do other forms of locks which would work with DynamoDB. We will probably support it after 1yr+ at a minimum.

Got it

Thank you for your time

Hello, I'm actually developing a website with someone, we are using a postgresql database instance on heroku. So in order for implemeting the auth using supertokens we have to deploy it on heroku using the docker container , right?

Correct @User . That being said, there is a known issue with our docker containers on heroku: https://github.com/supertokens/supertokens-core/issues/354 The fix for it is also mentioned in the same issue in case you run into the problem

It's for mysql compatible docker, but same issue applies to our postgresql compatible docker image as well.

alright, thank you!

I must say that I really liked the docs, you guys are doing a great job!

thank you 🙂 Appreciate the kind words! Do tweet about us if you can!

Hello SuperTokens looks super interesting, looking to use this for my app.. great app btw

Thanks @User !

Hey I just came across SuperTokens. You guys are doing great work. I noticed that for the python examples you guys used fastapi and flask. I’m a full stack developer and I use Django for my backend. I’m gonna try and use your python SDK with the Django rest framework and see what happens. If it works, I can try and create a few examples that you can use in your docs. Let me know if that’s something you would be interested in.

Sounds good! We do support django (if you see our docs).
