hello! Question about sending custom emails and updating the password from the frontend. I can override the

emailDelivery

on the backend, from the input I can get the

passwordResetLink

and from there I can extract the

token

from the URL params.

Copy code

{
   type: 'PASSWORD_RESET',
   user: {
     email: 'abc@gmail.com',
     id: '83cb2c80-c119-4bbe-b191-4c1ab67a950c',
     timeJoined: 1684502523294
   },
   passwordResetLink: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/reset-password?token=MTBjNzQwYThkZDdhZjk0YTUyODEzMGQ1YzZhM2NlY2E5ODkxNzQxNTM5M2M1ZmI0OGQ1OWJkMTIwYzBkODU5NjEzOWFiNzkxMjMyYjk3OTg0ZmMxYzZiMDY3MzQ5ODli&rid=emailpassword',
   userContext: { _default: { request: [FastifyRequest] } }
}

Now from the frontend, after I get the token from the URL, and after the user provides the new password, I should use the

submitNewPassword

function to send the new password along with the token yes? But on the frontend I see that the types do not match what I see in the documentation. I know this document might be old, so I'm wondering if there's a new way of doing it, maybe including the token in the

FormFields

array?

you need to use it this way:

Copy code

let response = await submitNewPassword({
            formFields: [{
                id: "password",
                value: newPassword
            }]
        });

this is what's in the doc. So the doc is correct

ahh ok, so the

submitNewPassword

function will automatically take the

token

from the URL param and pass to the API for verification and updating the password?
