Is there somewhere a guide on how to implement email verification for plain javascript?

there isn't one yet. But you can do it like this: - You want to call the

{apiBasePath}/user/email/verify

POST API to generate a new email verification token and send the email to the user: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/FDI/1.13.0#/EmailVerification%20Recipe/verifyEmail - Once the user clicks on the link, the UI on that page should extract the token from the URL and call the

{apiBasePath}/user/email/verify/token

POST API: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/FDI/1.13.0#/EmailVerification%20Recipe/verifyEmailToken. This API will consume the token and mark the user's email as verified. On the frontend, you can check if a user's email is verified using the

{apiBasePath}/user/email/verify

GET API: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/FDI/1.13.0#/EmailVerification%20Recipe/getVerifyEmail

Do I have to send the email myself?

We send the email for you if you are using our backend SDK

You mean the hosted one?

Yea that would work too. But are you using our node / golang or python SDK?

I am using your node sdk

Right yea. So when the frontend calls

{apiBasePath}/user/email/verify

POST, we will send the email automatically

Thank you, I will try to make it work 🙂

it's a token that gets attached in the email veirifcation link that the user clicks

do I have to create that myself?

nope

how do I get it then?

you will need to read it from the URL that is clicked by the user from their email

I am referring to this step

so that URL would open a page on your website which you need to make and that page can have some loading UI, In that page, you would extract the token from the URL and send it to backend

ah okay, wait I will try that

On the frontend, you can check if a user's email is verified using the {apiBasePath}/user/email/verify GET API: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/FDI/1.13.0#/EmailVerification%20Recipe/getVerifyEmail

thank you!

> I tried just sending another post request to .../token, but that did not seem to work That should work

Yes, it worked

not sure what you mean

Related to that? I was dumb and should have read my logs😅

ah ok

To the other one: 1. I click on the link in the email 2. I get redirected to the site 3. I read out the token and send it to the endpoint { method: 'token', token: '992a9c651e9f9d5965fe47e269e263105aa1283a2a711510249e320719ab2199' } 4. I get the answer from the api that I should provide the token

cool!
