Question

Morning Firstly big thank you for creating supertokens loving it so far However I m getting stuck adding additional fields to the sign up form following the guide here https supertokens com docs emailpassword common customizations signup form adding fields I do step 1 and 2 that all works fine but then the next part seems to contradict step 2 I am assuming that this is instead of step 2 but it s not clear to me I m new to this Secondly I m aware supertokens wont store the data from the additional fields so if I only do step 1 and 2 how do I handle the extra form field data on the backend Thanks in advance

Do you mean about Handle form fields on successful Sign up step

M/\X · Answer

Is that step 3 or instead of step 2

rp · Answer

thats step 3

rp · Answer

I guess we should add a Step 3 to it

M/\X · Answer

Ah ok thanks for that The thing thats confusing me is it seems to imply that I replace the code I wrote inside EmailPassword init on step 2

rp · Answer

ah right You don t have to raplce it You need to add that code as well

M/\X · Answer

ahhh

rp · Answer

and you can use the user metaddata recipe to store the extra info

M/\X · Answer

The rest of the code was the same but the stuff from step 2 was missing so it threw me off

I want to send a user to website com auth from another page However I want to control where that user goes next not just return them to website com Will sending the user to website com auth redirectToPath= profile send the user to the profile route I m just checking I ve interpreted the docs correctly here

rp · Answer

Yes You can See this https supertokens com docs emailpassword common customizations redirecting post login

rp · Answer

``` if context redirectToPath == undefined ``` In the above if block from the code snippet in the link instead of doing `return context redirectToPath ` you can return a path that you like

M/\X · Answer

How about if I wanted the sign up flow to be different to the sign in flow

rp · Answer

The `context` object has `context isNewUser` It will be true if it s sign up Else it will be `false`
