05/28/2022, 3:56 PMHey guys, quick question. I wanted to use SaaS hosted service for supertokens, but I also wanted to add a user to my own database as soon as they sign up to have that info on my side for other stuff. Is it possible?

05/28/2022, 4:20 PMHey @Jota
Yes. That’s certainly possible
For the login method that you’d like to use, check out the post login operations section in the docs
And one of the pages in there will be about post sign up operations

One more quick question
How can I do these with require kind of import?
import { SessionRequest } from 'supertokens-node/framework/express';
r

05/28/2022, 5:23 PMSo that’s a type being imported. If you are using plain JS, then you don’t need to import that type and it’s only for TS
And if you are using ts, then you should be able to use import directly anyway

'SessionRequest' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof SessionRequest'?ts(2749)

05/28/2022, 5:36 PMCan I see your code?
I think for types, you have to use import

05/28/2022, 5:38 PMI can't use import
r
rp
05/28/2022, 5:38 PMCause as soon as you use require, TS considers it as a value of type any
Then you can just remove it
Just do (req. res) => …

Jota
05/28/2022, 5:41 PMreq.session.touch()
^
TypeError: req.session.touch is not a function
r
rp
05/28/2022, 5:41 PMYea. I’m not sure where you got touch from. It’s not something we expose

05/28/2022, 5:48 PMHow can i use res.send?
r
rp
05/28/2022, 5:48 PMYou can google that 🙂 nothing to do with supertokens
j
Jota
05/28/2022, 6:04 PMi think it is because I am using
const session = require('express-session');
r
rp
05/28/2022, 6:04 PMRight yea. So with supertokens, you don’t need to use express-session anymore

Jota
05/28/2022, 6:10 PMI think I got it!
