Is 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 · Answer

It seems like null undefined is returned I did let res = await signOut and nothing showed when I tried printing out res

Hi < Chunkygoo>

nkshah2 · Answer

What SDK are you using

nkshah2 · Answer

To clarify I meant which frontend SDK are you using

Chunkygoo · Answer

supertokens auth react ^0 26 4

nkshah2 · Answer

You can use the onHandleEvent hook refer to this part of the docs https supertokens com docs thirdparty advanced customizations frontend hooks handle event

Chunkygoo · Answer

That specifies sign in and up is there one for sign out

nkshah2 · Answer

https supertokens com docs session advanced customizations frontend hooks handle event

Chunkygoo · Answer

Does that happen AFTER sign out Or when sign out is clicked

nkshah2 · Answer

After sign out is done

Chunkygoo · Answer

Awesome thank you

nkshah2 · Answer

Happy to help

Chunkygoo · Answer

Seems like this doesn t work if I need hooks

Chunkygoo · Answer

`await signOut router push home `

Chunkygoo · Answer

This is what I am trying to do

Chunkygoo · Answer

But I get redirected before logging out

Chunkygoo · Answer

const router = useRouter

Chunkygoo · Answer

useRouter cannot be used in frontendConfig

nkshah2 · Answer

Right useRouter can only be used inside React components

Chunkygoo · Answer

Any workarounds

nkshah2 · Answer

Try `import Router from next router` and calling functions on that

Chunkygoo · Answer

But I also need other hooks

Chunkygoo · Answer

like useTranslation

nkshah2 · Answer

You want to use useTranslation in the onHandleEvent hook

Chunkygoo · Answer

Yes

nkshah2 · Answer

Hmm

Chunkygoo · Answer

I want to use useTranslation in frontendConfig

Chunkygoo · Answer

As I want to notify the user when they log out

nkshah2 · Answer

Ah 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 · Answer

https developer mozilla org en US docs Web Events Creating and triggering events if that helps

Chunkygoo · Answer

hmm seems unnecesarily complicted

Chunkygoo · Answer

Is there a way to wrap signout so that it returns a promise

Chunkygoo · Answer

What s the rationale for signout to not return anything

nkshah2 · Answer

So just to make sure I understand correctly you simply want to do something after sign out completes correct

Chunkygoo · Answer

yes

Chunkygoo · Answer

but these actions require hookls

nkshah2 · Answer

Can I see how you are importing sign out

Chunkygoo · Answer

import signOut from supertokens auth react recipe emailpassword

nkshah2 · Answer

So that does return a Promise

nkshah2 · Answer

Did you face any issues when awaiting it

Chunkygoo · Answer

`let handleLogout = async => let res = await signOut console log res router push home `

Chunkygoo · Answer

res is undefined

nkshah2 · Answer

Right it does not return a value but it throws if it fails

Chunkygoo · Answer

So does it return a promise or not

nkshah2 · Answer

It returns `Promise<void>`

Chunkygoo · Answer

I see

nkshah2 · Answer

Meaning the result is undefined

nkshah2 · Answer

So simply awaiting it is what youre looking for

Chunkygoo · Answer

Interesting

Chunkygoo · Answer

my understanding is that

Chunkygoo · Answer

since I am awaiting signout

Chunkygoo · Answer

router push home will get executed after signout is done executing

Chunkygoo · Answer

right

nkshah2 · Answer

Yep that is correct

Chunkygoo · Answer

But sometimes

Chunkygoo · Answer

I am not sure why but maybe it s the context api updating too slowly

Chunkygoo · Answer

the component i render does not immediately change it s values

Chunkygoo · Answer

so right now i check for does session exist

Chunkygoo · Answer

if it does render logout

Chunkygoo · Answer

else render login signup

Chunkygoo · Answer

upon logout the text should immediately change to login signup

Chunkygoo · Answer

but that is not the case

nkshah2 · Answer

hmm 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 · Answer

I would need to see a more complete code snippet to help

nkshah2 · Answer

We can start with how you are calling doesSessionExist

Chunkygoo · Answer

It only happens sometimes though

Chunkygoo · Answer

not sure why

Chunkygoo · Answer

Right now it s not happening anymore

nkshah2 · Answer

Yeah 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

Chunkygoo · Answer

Ok if I realize this again I will be back but could you take a look at the other thread
