12/26/2022, 6:27 AMHello again, I'm implementing social login and would like redirect back to the page (and the state if possible) I was already in. I think we can pass something called a state to the google auth url, how do I pass that in when using: https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartypasswordless/custom-ui/thirdparty-login#step-2-handling-the-auth-callback-on-your-frontend. Also is it possible to login via a popup? That would allow me to preserve my app-state.

12/26/2022, 6:57 AMAlso is there a way to open the auth url in a new tab and it gets automatically closed? That would be the best UX, considering mobile too.

12/26/2022, 8:13 AM@aktopian you can do the following:
sattvikc
12/26/2022, 8:13 AMon the login route:
Copy code
const wnd = window.open(authURL, "Login", "width=800,height=600")
const timer = setInterval(function() {
if(wnd.closed) {
clearInterval(timer);
alert('login complete');
// Check for session here
}
}, 1000);sattvikc
12/26/2022, 8:13 AMyou would do the popup instead of doing
window.location.replacesattvikc
12/26/2022, 8:14 AMand on the call back route simply call
window.close()sattvikc
12/26/2022, 8:14 AMif you wish to send success or error state, you could do that using the localStorage
