to make it clear that the token is an access token and not a typical JWT.

I see, makes sense

am I looking at an old doc? https://supertokens.io/docs/nodejs/session/sessioncontainer/updatejwtpayload

can't seem to find that method in the docs

Yea. that's for version 7.2

You wanna see https://supertokens.io/docs/nodejs/modules/index.html

wait, how do you get there from the official site

or well, that's from the same domain xD

https://supertokens.io/docs/community/sdks -> click on "supertokens-node reference documentation" link

there found it, sdk reference

managed to navigate to the old docs by using some links I pasted on the code, guess these needs some updating as well then 😅

haha.. well

aight, will refactor my codebase for a while, will get back if I have other questions, thank you very much! I appreciate the quick response 🤟

happy to help 🙂

oh btw, 8.2.x isn't out yet right? xD

It is. But the docs for those are not pushed to prod yet.

You can access them on our test site though: https://test.supertokens.io/docs/nodejs/modules/index.html

I see, I guess it's not updated yet, at least the

updateAccessTokenPayload

one even on test https://test.supertokens.io/docs/nodejs/modules/recipe_session.html#updateAccessTokenPayload-1

What's not updated?

on 8.2, it just accepts a single parameter (the payload), no need for the session handle which makes sense

but the docs shows 2 parameters

well. there are two

updateAccessTokenPayload

functions. One that accepts a sessionHandle (which can be called without having to verify a session first) and the other accepts just the payload. The second one needs to be done like

req.session.updateAccessTokenPayload(newPayload)

so it's applied on the "current" session.

Even in the older versions, there were two functions for

updateJWTPayload

oh... I should've been looking at this https://test.supertokens.io/docs/nodejs/interfaces/recipe_session.SessionContainer.html#updateAccessTokenPayload

yup

aight awesome, thanks!

After logging in users usingreact frontend form, MongoDB & cookie-session, how do I inform supertokens to start managing the sessions? As Supertokens doesn't support login using mongoDB, how do I go about implementing this? is there a way to inform Supertokens that all the credentials are valid, user is good to create sessions and to start managing session?

Yea. You should check out the session recipe docs https://supertokens.io/docs/session/introduction

And this too: https://supertokens.io/docs/session/common-customizations/sessions/new-session

So when I'm using superTokes session I don't need to use other session libraries like 'express-session', 'cookie-session' etc..,? even if I use mongoDB?
