Which UI do you use?

Custom UI

Pre built UI

Auth redirection

Change redirection path post login

ReactJS

By default, the user is redirected the the / route on your website post login. To change this, you can use the getRedirectionURL function on the frontend as shown below:

// this goes in the auth route config of your frontend app (once the pre built UI script has been loaded)

supertokensUIInit("supertokensui", {
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "...",
    },
    getRedirectionURL: async (context) => {
        if (context.action === "SUCCESS" && context.newSessionCreated) {
            if (context.redirectToPath !== undefined) {
                // we are navigating back to where the user was before they authenticated
                return context.redirectToPath;
            }
            if (context.createdNewUser) {
                // user signed up
            } else {
                // user signed in
            }
            return "/dashboard";
        }
        return undefined;
    },
    recipeList: [ /* Recipe list */]
});

Angular

By default, the user is redirected the the / route on your website post login. To change this, you can use the getRedirectionURL function on the frontend as shown below:

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "...",
    },
    getRedirectionURL: async (context) => {
        if (context.action === "SUCCESS" && context.newSessionCreated) {
            if (context.redirectToPath !== undefined) {
                // we are navigating back to where the user was before they authenticated
                return context.redirectToPath;
            }
            if (context.createdNewUser) {
                // user signed up
            } else {
                // user signed in
            }
            return "/dashboard";
        }
        return undefined;
    },
    recipeList: [ /* Recipe list */]
});

Vue

By default, the user is redirected the the / route on your website post login. To change this, you can use the getRedirectionURL function on the frontend as shown below:

// this goes in the auth route config of your frontend app (once the pre built UI script has been loaded)

supertokensUIInit("supertokensui", {
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "...",
    },
    getRedirectionURL: async (context) => {
        if (context.action === "SUCCESS" && context.newSessionCreated) {
            if (context.redirectToPath !== undefined) {
                // we are navigating back to where the user was before they authenticated
                return context.redirectToPath;
            }
            if (context.createdNewUser) {
                // user signed up
            } else {
                // user signed in
            }
            return "/dashboard";
        }
        return undefined;
    },
    recipeList: [ /* Recipe list */]
});

The user will be redirected to the provided URL on:

• Successful sign up.
• Successful sign in.
• Successful email verification post sign up.
• If the user is already logged in.

If you want to redirect the user to a different domain, then you can do so by first redirecting them to a specific path using the function above, which further redirects them to the final domain.

Redirect user to the login page

ReactJS

Use the redirectToAuth({show?: "signin" | "signup", redirectBack?: boolean}?) function to redirect the user to the login screen. For example, you may want to call this function when the user clicks on the login button.

import React from "react";
import { redirectToAuth } from "supertokens-auth-react";

function NavBar () {
  async function onLogin () {
    redirectToAuth(); 
  }
  return (
    <ul>
        <li>Home</li>
        <li onClick={onLogin}>Login</li> 

    </ul>
  )
}

• Call redirectToAuth({show: "signin"}) to take them to the sign in screen
• Call redirectToAuth({show: "signup"}) to take them to the sign up screen
• If you do not want the user to be redirected to the current page post sign in, use redirectToAuth({redirectBack: false})

Angular

Redirect the user to the /auth (this is the default path for the pre built UI)

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
    selector: 'nav-bar',
    template: `
        <ul>
            <li>Home</li>
            <li (click)="onLogin()">Login</li> 
        </ul>
    `,
})
export class NavBarComponent {
    async onLogin () {
        window.location.href = "/auth?show=signin&redirecToPath=" + encodeURIComponent(window.location.pathname);
    }
}

• Set show=signin to take them to the sign in screen
• Set show=signup to take them to the sign up screen
• Set redirecToPath to redirect the user to a specific page after they have signed in, or you can skip it to take them to the / route (which is the default one).

Vue

Redirect the user to the /auth (this is the default path for the pre built UI)

<template>
  <ul>
    <li>Home</li>
    <li @click="onLogin">Login</li>
  </ul>
</template>

<script>

export default {
  name: "NavBarComponent",
  methods: {
    async onLogin() {
      window.location.href = "/auth?show=signin&redirecToPath=" + encodeURIComponent(window.location.pathname);
    }
  }
};
</script>

• Set show=signin to take them to the sign in screen
• Set show=signup to take them to the sign up screen
• Set redirecToPath to redirect the user to a specific page after they have signed in, or you can skip it to take them to the / route (which is the default one).
