Hello, I am running Node Express, and when following the Quick setup I am unable to have the nodeJs bundle (via esbuild) and run correctly. My root file is listed as server.ts - and in that one I have setup the 'supertokens.init` function. But I am getting this error

I had the same issue. I solved adding Session.init() in the recipelist in the supertokens.init

Did you have a different order of functions?

KalibCheil

04/06/2022, 9:03 PM

no, but my connectionURI is different

This is listed as the demo one - but I'll attempt to change that

I am using the db that supertokens provide us when you create an user

I see you encapsulated it inside a function, why and where would you trigger it?

KalibCheil

04/06/2022, 9:14 PM

in the main file

Dhr_RT

04/06/2022, 9:15 PM

Ah I see 😉

Dhr_RT

04/06/2022, 9:15 PM

And you are also compiling via esbuild?

To me it seems that my out.js is executing code in a different order then desired by the supertoken code

KalibCheil

04/06/2022, 9:19 PM

This is my main file (index.js). I am using express and this is where I am calling the supertokens.init

Dhr_RT

04/06/2022, 9:28 PM

No success yet

Dhr_RT

04/06/2022, 9:36 PM

Making progress here

Dhr_RT

04/06/2022, 9:45 PM

@KalibCheil Thanks, I think I am passed the hurdle here

Dhr_RT

Fix for me was to execute the superTokenInit() on the same file as I have all the app.use commands. In my app this is the 2nd file

Hi, is there a way to make the supertokens core log in a JSON format? Currently, it's really hard to go through these logs as there is always a useless line of log + a single line of data.

04/07/2022, 7:08 AM

@User there isn't a way to do that at the moment

Hey guys, did someone of you successfully implemented SuperTokens into django rest framework? We're struggling with the api view implementation, where

@verify_session()

comes into play.

Hello all, how can I add metadata to my users? For a SaaS app I want to be able to add an orgId as well as role. I thought I had found something for role but can't seem to find it again

Hey! We have APIs exposed by the core for adding user metadata: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/CDI/2.13.0#/User%20Metadata%20Recipe The backend SDKs have not been updated yet to add helper functions around these APIs, but you can call them directly using axios or node-fetch.

So, what does the workflow look like with this? I'm using EmailPassword recepie. The user signsup on the frontend (I also need to be able to invite users from within the app, but that is for later). I then attach the metadata using the userId from the backend. How does the frontend then get the metadata?

Would the getUserInfo provide the user metadata?

04/07/2022, 10:22 AM

The backend can retrieve the metadata for the userId using the API from the above spec, and you can send that to the frontend in a couple of ways: - Create an API on the backend that verifies the user's session -> gets the user id -> queries the core to get the meta data -> send it to the frontend; OR - Store the metadata in the access token's payload and retrieve that on the frontend without an API call. The downside to this approach is that the access token's side increases to contain whatever you are putting in it, so use this method only if you need to get the metadata often on the frontend.
