override order

Question

Hey SuperTokens team I have modified original implementation of sign up to add some metadata The problem is the initial session does not have it Only after a relog the data is visible Where is the best spot to add extra code to handle this case

rp · Answer

hey < Pogant> you may want to override the function in `override functions` instead of `override apis`

Pogant · Answer

Should I consider moving all custom logic like assign role add metadata to functions instead of apis

rp · Answer

hey < simonasaservice> you can always use the `response session mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload` funciton to add stuff to the session after calling `await originalImplementation emailPasswordSignUpPOST`

simonasaservice · Answer

Thanks for the tip < rp> This was successful Instead of using `UserMetadata updateUserMetadata user id metadata ` I simply used `response session mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload metadata ` As you can see from the Dashboard screenshot this worked it added the correct metadata object ```json first name Jason last name Bourne profile pic https www gravatar com avatar 8abfbbf8094b5b9cfecfff114e509710 ``` And it recognized the `first name` and `last name` values in the dashboard https cdn discordapp com attachments 1098547546256846890 1100057726903668736 image png

However I am having difficulty calling these values on the front end the session is not returning the values of the metadata ```javascript import SessionReact from supertokens auth react recipe session import useSessionContext from supertokens auth react recipe session import SuperTokensReact from supertokens auth react import SessionContextUpdate from supertokens auth react lib build recipe session types export function SiteHeader const session = useSessionContext if session loading return null const doesSessionExist userId accessTokenPayload = session as SessionContextUpdate if doesSessionExist return null const first name last name = accessTokenPayload console log accessTokenPayload returns console log first name returns undefined console log last name returns undefined ```

Can I see how you have called the mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload function

` response session mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload metadata `

simonasaservice · Answer

Which seems to work great

rp · Answer

you need to add `await` in front of `response session mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload metadata `

simonasaservice · Answer

Thanks RP good point But it does work well right now to add the metadata my problem is in retrieving the metadata once it has been added

rp · Answer

yea you need to add `await` in front

rp · Answer

the response is being sent before `mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload` has finished modifying the response headers

rp · Answer

that s why you see the frontend not being updated

simonasaservice · Answer

Thanks I ve added the await keyword so now my backendconfig reads ``` await response session mergeIntoAccessTokenPayload metadata ```

simonasaservice · Answer

And the metadata is added correctly However on the front end with the code here it is still undefined for first name and last name https discord com channels 603466164219281420 1098547546256846890 1100058427163693091
