Hi, I tried to override the

consumeCode

function and returned a custom id in

response.user.id

but still got a generated userId in my

passwordless_users

table. Is it okay to really override the stored userId or should I simply override

getUserByEmail

getUserById

getUserByPhoneNumber

and

updateUser

functions so they return the correct Id ?

hey! You would have to override all the recipe functions to return your mapped user ID.

In fact, we are building this feature (called user ID mapping) out now. You can see this PR for changes to the passwordless recipe functions: https://github.com/supertokens/supertokens-node/blob/adds-useridmapping/lib/ts/recipe/passwordless/recipeImplementation.ts Perhaps it will help you override the functions and get this to work until we release the feature ourselves.

Whats the requirement for doing this though?

Okay that is super helpful ! I am trying to match the id we have in our current

user

table in our new

passwordless_users

so we don’t have different values

I am not really getting what

/recipe/userid/map

does ? Do you have any updated doc or is it not done yet ?

rp_st

not done yet, but that essentially queries the core to get the mapping information for the given user ID. This mapping info is to be stored in your own table at the moment since we have not released this feature yet.

So instead of querying the core, you want to query your own db

It means that you are overriding the supertokens userid in your db with the external one ?

rp_st

07/28/2022, 9:49 AM

No. We maintain a mapping of supertokens user ID to an external one.

rp_st

07/28/2022, 9:49 AM

Just like how you would maintain a mapping

Okay, I think I get it now. Thank you 🙏 Sorry for asking so many questions !
