I am implementing the passwordless authentication using supertokerns. So, for backend, from the example given on github, I have to add api-server/index.js file and mailer.js file? or only implement index.js file? and supertoken will send mail to users?

3rd step is confusing in this. can you explain it?

Ah I see what you mean, yes you will need to implement your own version for sending mails and SMS. You can refer to the

mailer.js

file for that

no, i got it. so, i will follow docs after if i make request on given route? it will work fine, am is right?

Yes

ok, thanks!

The code you used has type annotations

variableName: Type

. That is not supported in JS files. The documentation is indicating what the type of the variables should be but you will have to change the values for it

like! can you give example?

createAndSendCustomEmail: async function (input) {
                let htmlBody = getEmailBody(
                    APP_NAME,
                    Math.ceil(input.codeLifetime / 1000),
                    input.urlWithLinkCode,
                    input.userInputCode,
                    input.email
                );
                await mailTransporter.sendMail({
                    html: htmlBody,
                    to: input.email,
                    from: `Team Supertokens <${process.env.NODEMAILER_USER}>`,
                    sender: process.env.NODEMAILER_USER,
                    subject: `Login to ${APP_NAME}`,
                });
            },

From the mailer file in the example you linked to

ya! I see it, so i asked that i have to connect mailer file also?

Yes you do

Ok. After if i will make request from post man, it will work fine. right?

Yep

thanks!

Happy to help

maybe i will need more!

Sure, feel free to ask if you have more questions

ok

have you followed all the steps in the quick setup guide?

ya

@porcellus Can probably help better here

still giving same error

The mailer file expects environment variables to be set for the email user and password, have you set those?

ya i am sending same message to you!

create a

.env

file in the api-server folder

ok, and then which username and password i should add?

In that file add the two things it expects

NODEMAILER_USER=
NODEMAILER_PASSWORD=

got it.

The account you want the emails to be sent from

yeap

What error are you seeing?

same.

Also deleting the screenshot because it contains credentials

Did you restart the backend server after creating the

.env

file?

nope. let me try

Hey! So that happens if you do not give credentials for your smtp setting when using nodemailer

@shubham vora Did restarting the server work?

Sir, i have lec in my clg. So, i came here. But i will do it after 2 hours.

ah alright

it shows me this error. However, i toggle on less secure signin for less secure apps.

Its saying your credentials dont match

but's i have reset it recently

@shubham vora I think the issue is with your credentials now. It's out of scope of supertokens' issue 🙂

Ya! doing it.

If there are any supertokens related issues, please feel free to ask. But we would really appreciate it if you try and solve it yourself first, or google to get the answer 🙂 Thank you

ok!

You will have to build your own UI for that

Ok. Thanks!

What version of the frontend SDK are you using?

latest one

Are you getting the cookies back?

response?

Yes

yes

I need more info. What is the API response? Can you enable debug logging on the backend and show the logs?

see last response. it is fine

Yes. You need to make that post request
