02/15/2024, 8:13 AMhey @shashank0959 you can override the component we have and add a useEffect in which you have a setInterval that checks for if a session exists, and if it does, then just reload the page.

02/15/2024, 8:59 AMokay thanks will try it.

02/15/2024, 9:42 AMhey @rp_st
will getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely give me the info about if the user is sign-up or sign-in?
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:43 AMnot really.
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:43 AMif you want that on the frontend, we have hooks for it
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 9:43 AMas I can see, there is no such parameter that will tell about it,
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:44 AMwell, where do you want that info?
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 9:45 AMyeah, Needed in frontend, and searching for the function in reference,
like you guys are using
in handleOTP function
response.createdNewRecipeUser &&
response.user.loginMethods.length === 1
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:46 AMyea, so if that's true, it means it's a sign up, else it's a sign in
s

02/15/2024, 9:46 AMyeah,,,
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 9:47 AMis there any hook that call help me,,
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:49 AMare you using pre built Ui?
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:50 AMif yes, see this page: https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/advanced-customizations/frontend-hooks/pre-api and the two after this one.
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 9:51 AMno custome ui
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 9:53 AMright. So in the API response, you have the info you need to know if it's a sign up or sign in
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 9:54 AMyeah, actually, at perticular page, I want to know, if the user is sign up or sign in
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 10:04 AMright. So then you can save that info in localstorage or somewhere once the API is called

02/15/2024, 10:11 AMLet me explain me problem again,
Actually on magic link a new page opens, which is consuming the magic link,
but the page where the user needs to enter otp remains open means OTP-Page,
So I need to reload the OTP-Page, for that I will need a function, So that I can run the function on reload of OTP-Page,
That is why I need function to know if the user is sign-up or sing-in, but doesSessionExits only tell me, is session exixts or not,
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 10:17 AMso when the user consumes the magic link, save if it's a sign up or sign in in localstorage, and that value should ve visible in the other tab too
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 10:20 AMbut what if, user uses the magic link in other device?
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 10:20 AMWell yea, that the session is created on the other device. Not much that can be done here.
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 10:22 AMokay understood
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 10:56 AM@rp_st
can I use this function with custom-ui?
https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/advanced-customizations/frontend-hooks/pre-api
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 10:57 AMThere is a blue box on the right. Select custom ui with it.
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 10:59 AMand this onHandleEvent is not available with custom-ui, I think?
r
rp_st
02/15/2024, 10:59 AMYea. Cause you call the APIs yourself anyway
s
shashank0959
02/15/2024, 10:59 AMokay okay got it
