10/04/2022, 5:00 AMIs there a way to determine if signout has successfully executed on the frontend? I would like to redirect only upon successful signout, for example
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:03 AMIt seems like null/undefined is returned. I did let res = await signOut() and nothing showed when I tried printing out res

10/04/2022, 5:09 AMHi @chunkygoo.
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:09 AMWhat SDK are you using?
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:10 AMTo clarify, I meant which frontend SDK are you using
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:10 AM"supertokens-auth-react": "^0.26.4",

nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:14 AMYou can use the onHandleEvent hook, refer to this part of the docs: https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdparty/advanced-customizations/frontend-hooks/handle-event
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:15 AMThat specifies sign in and up, is there one for sign out?
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:16 AMc
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:17 AMDoes that happen AFTER sign out? Or when sign out is clicked?
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:17 AMAfter sign out is done
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:17 AMAwesome thank you!
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:17 AMHappy to help
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:51 AMSeems like this doesn't work if I need hooks?
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:51 AM Copy code
await signOut();
router.push('/home');chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:51 AMThis is what I am trying to do
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:52 AMBut I get redirected before logging out
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:52 AMconst router = useRouter();
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:52 AMuseRouter cannot be used in frontendConfig
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:53 AMRight, useRouter can only be used inside React components
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:53 AMAny workarounds?
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:54 AMTry
import Router from "next/routerc
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:54 AMBut I also need other hooks
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:54 AMlike useTranslation
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:55 AMYou want to use useTranslation in the onHandleEvent hook?
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:55 AMYes
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:55 AMHmm
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:55 AMI want to use useTranslation in frontendConfig
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:55 AMAs I want to notify the user when they log out
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:56 AMAh right, one way I can think of doing it is to fire a window event from the onHandleEvent hook and then consuming that inside of your component where you can use the hooks
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 5:57 AMc
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:59 AMhmm seems unnecesarily complicted
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:59 AMIs there a way to wrap signout so that it returns a promise?
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 5:59 AMWhat's the rationale for signout to not return anything?
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:02 AMSo just to make sure I understand correctly, you simply want to do something after sign out completes correct?
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:02 AMyes
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:02 AMbut these actions require hookls
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:02 AMCan I see how you are importing sign out?
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:02 AMimport { signOut } from 'supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailpassword';
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:03 AMSo that does return a Promise
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:03 AMDid you face any issues when awaiting it?
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:04 AM Copy code
let handleLogout = async () => {
let res = await signOut();
console.log(res);
router.push('/home');
};chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:04 AMres is undefined
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMRight it does not return a value but it throws if it fails
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMSo does it return a promise or not?
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMIt returns
Promise<void>c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMI see
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMMeaning the result is undefined
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMSo simply awaiting it is what youre looking for
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:05 AMInteresting
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:06 AMmy understanding is that
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:06 AMsince I am awaiting signout()
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:06 AMrouter.push('/home'); will get executed after signout is done executing
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:06 AMright?
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:06 AMYep that is correct
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:06 AMBut sometimes
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:07 AMI am not sure why but maybe it's the context api updating too slowly
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:07 AMthe component i render does not immediately change it's values
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:07 AMso right now i check for does session exist
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:07 AMif it does, render "logout"
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:07 AMelse render "login/signup"
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:08 AMupon logout, the text should immediately change to "login/signup"
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:08 AMbut that is not the case
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:09 AMhmm there could be a couple things going on here, like you said it could be that the context update is slow or it could be something else
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:09 AMI would need to see a more complete code snippet to help
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:09 AMWe can start with how you are calling doesSessionExist
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:10 AMIt only happens sometimes though
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:10 AMnot sure why
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:10 AMRight now it's not happening anymore 🥲
n
nkshah2
10/04/2022, 6:11 AMYeah its hard to pinpoint the issue without looking at more code, from what ive seen you are calling sign out correctly so unless you are seeing errors that is working correctly
c
chunkygoo.
10/04/2022, 6:11 AMOk if I realize this again I will be back but could you take a look at the other thread
