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
rp
05/28/2022, 4:20 PMYes. That’s certainly possible
rp
05/28/2022, 4:20 PMFor the login method that you’d like to use, check out the post login operations section in the docs
rp
05/28/2022, 4:21 PMAnd one of the pages in there will be about post sign up operations

Jota

05/28/2022, 5:22 PMOne more quick question
How can I do these with require kind of import?
import { SessionRequest } from 'supertokens-node/framework/express';
r
rp
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
rp
05/28/2022, 5:24 PMAnd if you are using ts, then you should be able to use import directly anyway
j
Jota
05/28/2022, 5:36 PMI can't import it
Jota
05/28/2022, 5:36 PM'SessionRequest' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof SessionRequest'?ts(2749)
r
rp
05/28/2022, 5:36 PMCan I see your code?
rp
05/28/2022, 5:38 PMI think for types, you have to use import
j
Jota
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
rp
05/28/2022, 5:38 PMThen you can just remove it
rp
05/28/2022, 5:39 PMJust do (req. res) => …
j
Jota
05/28/2022, 5:39 PMlike this?
r
rp
05/28/2022, 5:39 PMYea.
j
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
j
Jota
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
j
Jota
05/28/2022, 6:10 PMI think I got it!
Jota
